Definately travel to Latvia this summer! As you saw that we are nice people, you should find a friend here who will take you to adventurous journey and reveal many great facts about us, becouse there is a LOT to reveal and learn and experience new! :) The very best from Latvia! ;)
This video is so funny. You got a good extent of must-see, and I think more and more that Labietis - incidentally my favorite craft beer in town - is the best ambassador of Latvia to the outside world. You got an adopted Latvian sub :)
This video is amazing! Thank you so much! "Frango mint green" "Art Nuevo is badass for so many reasons", Milhouse...LMAO. My grandfather was tore out of Latvia during WWII and ended up in the US as a refugee. I'd love to visit some day. What was the name of the beer company? My husband has had a huge beard, too, long before they were hip as yours looks, too, lol. I'd love to try and order something from there. He does armored combat, it'd be perfect!
Thanks a lot!!! You should definitely go - the beer company is called Labietis and it's amazinggggg. You and your husband should definitely visit. It's super friendly and easy to get around!
Loved the vid bro. I can envision you having warm oil rubbed onto your back at the bath house, by a jolly Latvian fella hairier than you! Remember, what happens in Latvia, stays in Latvia.
Great video! Greetings from Latvia! :D Just want to add to when you compared Ukrainians and Latvians. Ukrainians are probably gonna be more brash or aggressive because that's sort of the Slavic nature of them or any other Slavic peoples. Latvians are Baltic and Northern European, so we are more calm but sometimes cold against people, till we get to know you and if we accept you as a friend.
+MadKlauss Thanks man! Yeah, not to see that Ukrainians AREN'T friendly at all, they're just more...guarded? Loved your country! Hope more Americans and Latinos go to visit!
I have a much simpler explanation, likely that Ukrainian was just an employee, who has no say on such matters, where the Latvian guy might be one of the owners. I've seen one of their interviews, where "Labietis" fellows told about their beer brewing, one of their experiments was 'stropa alus" (the beehive beer) - a mead made of whole beehive, I mean , not just honey, but also honeycombs and even bees themselves!
Some historical mistakes here...All 3 Baltic countries were independent before WW2 and were occupied by SU in 1940, so this occupation was not 100, but thanks to God, 50 years. Freedom monument was made by the donations of Latvian people in 1935 when Latvia still was an independent European country. Latvia is one of my favourite Europian destinations, especially in summertime & early fall. Cheers from Norway.
Oh for real? I didn't know about the Seaside part - but I had a convo with a Lithuanian friend of mine who was actually born in Jurmala and she corrected me, too (( - I vow to J(Y)urmala from now on though!
Why does everyone think Europeans are naked all the time? I'm from Denmark and we are NOT naked in front of strangers except from inside the changing rooms in shared showers and if you go topless on a beach we will talk trash about you.
This awareness is for Indian students/business who wish to study/work in Latvia. Please think twice before you go to Latvia. You can’t find any work there, government is allowing you to work but you have to pass Latvian language test (Russian company is taking only Russians and Latvian companies only Latvians). 25% especially youngsters unemployed who indulge in crimes, you must know Latvian language to do anything/ translation in Latvian. No industry, they don’t make anything living on aids from EU. Latvian Government even selling passport to get money for budget/fooling students, they will suck your money and in return you will get nothing. Always tensions between Russians and Latvians (50% Russians). Latvians are mostly poor, economy depends only on Russians. Still communist country (County is free from Russia, Latvian people think like a communist because they don’t like Russians/foreigners). Latvian laws favour only Latvians even Russians who are living there for years have no rights, they consider them non citizen. Indians have no rights even you are living legally, they will put you in jail or deport without telling reason, court will not help you (actually no one is going to hear you even courts). I highly don’t recommend this country for students who have a different skin colour, or race. They’re really really Racist people and very rude. Any place you can find racism but Latvia it’s exceptional they’re racist for no reason. They’re so racist and not open to any other races at all. They’re emotionless and have only one cold face. No offence but it’s hard really for darker skins. They will never even apologise if they hit you by mistake. And they have nothing to do but whining about their hates towards the Russians/foreigners. And they are so arrogant I don’t know why. If you want to study abroad go to Germany or Scandinavian countries (don’t have to pay tuition fees ). I think India is much better place to study and live, you won’t find another place like India. Don’t waste your money on countries like latvia, they have nothing to offer you. JAI HIND. These are only propaganda videos on youtube. Latvia has one of the lowest salaries in the EU + retarded government making all the young people to migrate. Country is half resist, full of bigoted, neonazis, prostitutes and thieves. Latvia lost all major industrial complexes now degrading agricultural and forest sector, shutting down secondary schools. Almost all capital sectors and banks are privatised by foreign ponzis. Ridiculous flat tax rates that doesn’t make any sense. There’s no hope for this country as long people won’t start actually doing something good. Mostly Latvian people think like criminals.

Both, Riga and Daugavpils, being the two most populated cities in Latvia have their good and bad aspects. You can meet all kinds of people in both cities, the quiet, the loud, the annoying smokers, the rampaging drunkards and so on. Same as in any huge city all over the world, just with a pinch of northernness here. :P
We tried the Romantic cafe you seem to recommend. It is a tourist trap! Did they pay you or smth... there are much better places in Riga..why this ripoff..
Simply amazing. I need more of these videos - stat!

You got an adopted Latvian sub :)

Mr Beard (message from another bearded bro)... Did you know the market buildings were constructed from WW1 Zeppelin hangars ?
urzula OMG i am from latvia too!
Lielais Kristaps is not Saint Christopher, it is a kino festival where the best movies get awards, sort of like Oscars for you. :)
Educational and entertaining! WerQ
+MsMatinga As Whitney once said, "I learned from the best! I learned from youuuuu!"

The last time I went to a bath house not of us were naked..We wore a swimming costume. It was basically a sauna
Oh really? I think I saw one guy at Riga Pirts with a bathing suit on, but everyone else was naked as a a jaybird!
2:20 That's the gulf of Riga. Not Baltic Sea. The Baltic sea on does not freeze on the border of Latvia. Only the gulf of Riga does.
OMG I'm from Latvia and i was sleeping in my underwear.
I'm from Latvia to and I did too oh no!!
Were you both together?
Yes i travel
Thanks for visiting our country , and work on your words cuz it is so funny to watch.

Go to Saint Petersburg, the very best city!
Fuck what a nice video! What branch were you on?
The beach (Jūrmala) is actually pronounced with a Y sound and means "Seaside".
Oh for real? I didn't know about the Seaside part - but I had a convo with a Lithuanian friend of mine who was actually born in Jurmala and she corrected me, too (( - I vow to J(Y)urmala from now on though!
Ok :P Haha have a nice day btw!
13:40 Fun fact my friend lives there XD
LIELAIS KRISTAPS in Latvian actually mean BIG KRISTAPS. It is made in honor of Kristaps Porzingis - Latvian hero
Jūrmala means beach side

or i could say islamic extremist
i swear to god that almost all the latvians are cringing so bad of how he says jūrmala
Not saint, just big kristaps
well in riga people are rude
but daugavpils is very quite town people r friendly
Both, Riga and Daugavpils, being the two most populated cities in Latvia have their good and bad aspects.
You can meet all kinds of people in both cities, the quiet, the loud, the annoying smokers, the rampaging drunkards and so on. Same as in any huge city all over the world, just with a pinch of northernness here. :P
We tried the Romantic cafe you seem to recommend. It is a tourist trap! Did they pay you or smth... there are much better places in Riga..why this ripoff..
First things first........get laid!
