Eastern Europe indeed, but not in the Baltic like Lithuania, Latvia, etc... or the northeast even.Eastern Europe somewhere, maybe even northeast Europe? Latvia, Lithuania, something like that?
Which country in the Balkan (you're definitely on the right track) would you suspect him to be Angela, if we were to say he was? I suppose this country he's from might not have an exactly clear geographical classification.Maleth and I have been on the right track; I'd swear to it. There's something eastern about him, not central European. If he's not from eastern Europe per se, then maybe an atypical person from the Balkans.
Hmm, Albanian is too southern.Second guess: Albanian.

Would you reckon he'd pass as someone typical or atypical in Scandinavia Dagne?He looks like someone from Iceland, or judging by the colours of this T-shirt - from Sweden

Bingo! He's Romanian!Well, I was in Romania once, and there's a part of Romania, Transylvania, where the people are more Hungarian than Romanian, or at least Hungarian admixed, and some of them looked rather Czech like to me, so maybe there?
Hmm, I don't think Romanians from Transylvania are more admixed with Hungarians (perhaps Romanians have more German strains since Saxons traditionally lived in Transylvania as well, but Germanic groups have passed through this region historically too so it's hard to say who's more responsible for certain lineages), since on data including autosomal genes Romanians from all regions are moreso related to each other than with Hungarians (or other northern neighbors for that matter). Diurpaneus gave an interesting study which included blood samples and tests with other countries for relatedness in this thread: http://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/26718-Vlach-haplogroups-amp-deep-ancestry/page5Well, I was in Romania once, and there's a part of Romania, Transylvania, where the people are more Hungarian than Romanian, or at least Hungarian admixed, and some of them looked rather eastern European like to me, so maybe there?

Well, let's put it this way...I was privileged to be hosted by more than one family in Transylvania who considered themselves ethnic "Hungarians" rather than ethnic "Romanians", and they were vehement about that. They also told me there has been a certain amount of intermarriage with "Romanians".
I certainly saw it in the phenotypes. Whether that comports with dna studies I don't know.
