are they sweet? 0h! and the sweet, sweet taste of estonia s bogs. they re very sour! so don t go away. this week we re exploring estonia, and just while we re in the capital of tallinn, i wanted to show you this. this is a remote working pod. it s in the middle of a shopping centre right in the cool part of town. places like this have been popping up since the pandemic throughout tallinn. the authorities have been keen to encourage people to come and work in estonia for an extended length of time and as a result have introduced special digital nomad visas. and it s notjust the visas. in tallinn, they ve installed wifi across the city, all key services are online, and cool co working spaces like this are popping up all over. these office huts
