Here is an excerpt of an AP report about The W’s stop in Estonia …
Bush received two gifts from his Estonian hosts: a glass sculpture and a Skype wireless phone that can be used to make calls over the Internet.
The country is often nicknamed “E-Stonia” for its booming high-tech industry, and it is the main hub of Skype, the Internet telephone company that eBay bought last year for $2.6 billion.
If the phone and accompanying headset Bush received illustrated Estonia’s technological savvy, the other one represented its yearning for light during the dark winter months.
Titled “Northern Light,” the sculpture symbolizes “the Nordic freshness and crispness, the longing for light during lasting dark periods, strength of purpose and perseverance,” the Estonian government said.
