Statement of the undersecretary of state released to the press on July 23rd, 1940.

Can this still be applied at all??

More artwork..

Some of you enjoyed last time, so here's some more from my personal collection! ;-)
(I even found a computer with picasa to present it better! rocking!)

Love bridge

In Latvia, when they get married, they attach a padlock to a bridge and throw the key to the rive.. ain't that cute?!

Girls!

Girls - to do the dishes
Girls - to clean up my room
Girls - to do the laundry
Girls - and in the bathroom

..Remember the Beastie Boys?
This could be the official anthem for Frank's backpackers hostel where i'm staying at in Riga! Mr Frank came from Australia to open this cool hostel in Riga and hired a whole crew of very pretty girls to run the hostel! Sounds a bit like Charlie's angels i kn0w.. but i'm not sure he had much choice; gorgeous girls is all you'll find here anyways!..
As cliche as it may sound, i must say that these baltic countries are out of control! I'm just about to overdose! if i see one more top model looking girl i think i'm gonna puke!.. oh, hi Dana, hi Liva! :-)

Some o the hostel staff..

and in the streets..

I was pretty beat when i made it to Riga last.. a couple of.. sometime ago!! But Riga is about as open at night as Vilnius was closed so the second night i didn't sleep at all and it took me straight into may 4th which i must mention to keep high the cultural information level of this blog, as the Latvian national holiday for independance in.. was it 1919? i forgot already, never mind.. i just meant to say it was pretty hectic again last night... with concerts and fireworks and what have yous.. but it was nothing compared to what's coming up tonight! Riga is hosting the hockey world championship this year and it's starting tonight, so the city is just packed with drunken hockey fans!
If there was a time to be in Riga i guess aimed pretty well (eventhough i didn't aim at all)

The national independance day..

And while i'm here i might as well hand you the traditional dictionary:
ja = yes
ne = no
sveiki = hello
labdien = good day
ludzu = please
paldies = thanks
te = here
kur astrodas..? = where is..?
cik tas maksa? = how much is it?
alus = beer
