I was just in Latvia. May of 2018. Riga is fascinating. Beautiful old toWn. Went to the ethnographic museum and thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautiful forest. Also visited the Bog Walk which was awesome too. I had never seen anything like it before. And met some very nice people too. Best wishes from America. Thank you for your hospitality!
I was in the 70ies in Riga, Jurmala and Sigulda. In this time Latvia was a part of the Soviet Union. So much has changed there in the last years. Thanks for your impressions!
There was only 2 ways, to get a visa to the Soviets: with travel agency or in my case with an invitation of a private citizien. We was going by train from Berlin via Poland, Belarus and Lithuania. In fact we shouldn`t leave Riga, but we have seen additional some other places...
This video should be named "What Riga is like", because you barely touched anything outside of Riga. Latvia has some interesting cultural and nature points of interest so next time try to show more of one's country or name your videos differently.
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.

Hi I like your videos, but you really need to work on your video skills. May be take some classes. If you are serious, you should know that you are not the best at it. Just an advice

So you're from India and you bag Latvia...wow, India has more issues than Latvia, sure Latvia is not perfect but the country is just trying to make it's way after many years of communist rule. Latvians do not like communism ( study the history of communist take over ), that's rubbish, you probably were dealing with Russians in Latvia , some still want communism but Latvians much prefer the European way of life. Of course there are tensions between the Russians and Latvians, the Russians were the invaders and occupiers of a terrible regime that did many terrible things to the Latvians, what do you expect? Latvia is sticking up for itself the most now because in it;s history it has been invaded many times, so it may seem very nationalistic, but it's for good reason. Latvians are not used to other races as much as western Europe, but they will in future and that does not mean everyone of them is racist. Latvian people do not think like criminals ?! that's garbage, there are some that are corrupt but that is only some of the people. Young people leave when the economy struggles or for a better opportunity in another country, who wouldn't,. but it will change, and some come back, also the country is still in some aspects coming out of the soviet era, it takes time to become a fully democratic and transparent and free society even if it got it's freedom in 1990. There is a ' brain drain ' as the smartest and brightest may leave for more lucrative jobs abroad, and unfortunately that tends to leave a higher percentage of less desirable people behind in the country, but this will change in the future, each year it's gradually becoming more open and developed and forward thinking, and the economy slowly gets better and better, but it won't happen overnight as it has to shed years of soviet mentality first.
@pk sh There is no doubt that each country has its pros and cons. "Country is half resist[sic!], full of bigoted, neonazis, prostitutes and thieves", wow, stereotyping at its best. It would be like me meeting you. And I would notice that there is a little dirt spot on your shoes. Certainly, without even getting to know to you, I could rant about how dirty you are, by focusing all the attention to one spot. But there is more truth about you than this little spot. And there is more truth to any other country than just the dark side. As a European who has lived in India for an extended amount of time, I could also start questioning how some academics in India manage to get hold of their degrees - in comparison to the requirements by European universities and employers toward academics. But it would do injustice to all those great thinkers who originate from your country, because their integrity is not comparable to the ignorance of others.
@@tomzielinski9506 shut the fuck up! If you not know anything about Latvia then dont open your stinky mouth and dont spread lies!! Obviously you are some fucking troll!!
It's very touching that you were so impacted by our history.

I was in the 70ies in Riga, Jurmala and Sigulda. In this time Latvia was a part of the Soviet Union. So much has changed there in the last years. Thanks for your impressions!
That's interesting, I was curious what it would have been like in Soviet times as a visitor.
There was only 2 ways, to get a visa to the Soviets: with travel agency or in my case with an invitation of a private citizien. We was going by train from Berlin via Poland, Belarus and Lithuania. In fact we shouldn`t leave Riga, but we have seen additional some other places...
