You wouldn't find this in Lonely Planet...

Occasionally I visit with an Estonian neighbour lady my grandma's age (90 this year!). During our most recent visit she had some reassuring words about my upcoming trip: "You're going to be just fine. You have beautiful hair....and beautiful skin. You have nothing to worry about."
After eyeing me from bottom to top she also instructed that I leave 'those ridiculous things' (my jeans) at home and wear only skirts in Europe. "You need to dress nicely there, and also the men like to gawk at women's legs."
