    For indos, south is down and north is up = indos face north.
    For finnics, north is down and south is up = finnics face south.

    And that is also one reason why germanics are never true nordics until they get rid of their southern mindset and start to behave like true nordics.
    uhm. no.
    1)we don't say 'melts down', we say 'tirpti'(melt) or 'istirpsta' (melts away,litr: from-melt).
    2) what do you mean by 'bad development'?
    3)the 'north vs. south' is just an anglo invention.

    south in lithuania, comes from 'pieta' - the time of the day when the sun is highest in the sky.

    North is 'šiaurė', in Lithuanian mythology 'šiaurė' means 'the winds of the west', actually.

    1)If we don't get the share-holder on board this expansion deal will be going south.
    2)While going to make the drop the laws was near, so the deal was going south.

    Again, what is the definition of a motorway?
    The largest Estonian one connects Tartu with Tallinn.

    You make roads on sea ice every year? For tens of kilometers?
    The longest sea ice road from Estonia connected Saaremaa with Lübeck in 1323.

    There are some. In remote places.
    The first known is from the 4th century AD.

    The width of these was usually 2 carts (2,8-3.1 meters).
