After years of studying, I can proudly say that I finished eve- rything and that I am graduated. My studying career was a quite a long one and not always that easy, but it has been a wonderful time where I have learned many things and developed myself. The pro- cess of the master thesis, from the beginning till the end, reflects these previous years perfectly. Alt- hough I am the one who will receive the degree, I could not have done this without the support and help of many during the years of studying in general and during the writing of this thesis in particular. Therefore I would like to thank the ones who helped and supported me. I want to start by thanking my colleagues at Estonian Holidays and especially Maila Saar, Lars Saar and Mari-Liis Makke.

A t 18 they come of age and no longer need permission from their parents to sign legal documents. 2 A s in South Africa, the type of birthday presents you select for close friends depends on their interests or hobbies. Russians prefer to have presents which they can keep to remind them of their friends and parties. Providing the food is usually the duty of the host at a party. They will not understand if you bring home-made salads, cakes or deserts. 3 Friends are not usually allowed to see a newborn baby for at least 14 days. This protects the baby from unexpected illness. W hen you visit Russians on these occasions it will be appreciated if you bring presents such as children's clothes, bedding or toys. 1 In Russia, as in South Africa, there are different options for a wedding ceremony: • in a church • by a magistrate (official and mandatory). The first marriage usually takes place at the Palace of Marriage. A wedding is a solemn, public occasion. 2 The Russian bride usually wears a gown and veil, and has the accoutrements of a church wedding. 3 A bachelor party and a kitchen tea which have been arranged by the bride and bridegroom are not obligatory. 4 Presents are given to the newlyweds at the wedding party. 5 A t a wedding party, which is usually quite a charming table ceremony with a large list of guests (naturally, this depends on the financial standing of the families), after a toast traditionally guests shout' Q o r'k o f (The wine tastes bitter!) and the newlyweds have to kiss each other to 'make the wine sweet'.
