A BRIT In LATVIA; Talking To The Locals 🇱🇻 🇬🇧 

Thank you so much for your support... Let me know how it goes 👍

People, come to your senses. We have passed the. coronavirus, and now they are just laughing at us, and we are giving in and helping Ukraine that is empty that in which pours anger to ourselves and we kill ourselves, it is necessary to stop deliveries and all who are in Ukraine is a part of mercenaries who for money, money is normal, reminds as a bone of a dog. Let's live amicably, without ponts, without aggression. In Ukraine, many people are not ready to fight, some of them left, namely the well-off and who had time to take care of, and the state does not care, the place of what to conduct a world truce, and the deputies, namely the government pressures the people save pension savings and goes into other pockets, and you and I not to solve military problems, we should refuse military aid and money, because Zelensky is an actor, not a president, he does not feel sorry for people, and leads a game where everyone is tied and he will get money and those countries that are tied in this will get money, but the people will remain poor, as an example in Russia. If a person does not want war, he will be hated, why? Because history has been changed in America and people have changed their views, and no one is going to understand. Wouldn't it be better if there was no one left? We do not live in the Stone Age, but we are being led to improve technology and forget about humanity, and we with our silence and reasoning get rid of problems, where they pay a lot of money and solve these problems at the peace table (politicians and government). Namely, we refuse to live in peace, and signed up for it, and humanity will be reduced to find an easier way out to save on people and manage and provide pleasure for the rich and the lack of inconvenience in this is the war with Ukraine. And sons, grandchildren will ask you and you will say killed people. Aggression is necessary to make money for politicians, to lead fines for refusal to go to war with Ukrainians. Although many people have left Ukraine, namely the sensible ones. And about the war, they were prepared in advance to start a war with Russia, from the moment when the tanks were at the moment when people needed help, they thought that they should not communicate and refused peaceful dialog, in advance in Ukraine the president of Ukraine thought about provocation. It is difficult time to prove or explain to someone, if you do not understand that life is given to live peacefully and forget about the problems that you have invented yourself. Don't you want to live like this before, to travel, because it is possible to establish relations in terms of economy for poor people who do not have the opportunity to go abroad .I wish everyone health happiness and love.

Just dont go to Purvciems

❤ good post

Thank you so much, i am glad you enjoyed it!!😃👍

Laba diena, bračkas! :)

I as a latvian myself wouldn't say that many positive things about this place. We're actually... nothing special.

Tāpēc jau esam, kur esam... Ir jārada un jārāda iespaids, ka esam labākie, nevis "nekas īpašs". Un tad viss izdosies!

not that we are not many makes us special but being authentic does.

😂

Thank you my friend, I am happy you are enjoying the content 👍👌

​@@J.E.Ehow many languages do you speak mate?

​@@emilz85all of them😂

​​@@J.E.EI do appreciate you are starting to learn some Latvian, well done, it's also important to understand that Latvia geographically is Northern Europe as well as being part of Eastern Europe because of the soviet history.

Happy to hear that! 👍😃 Thank you so much for watching!

yeah most of our citizens are russians..

Its pretty good herr in Latvia. Have a good day braliukas ❤

@@xtripx4273 it aint that good here

Good to know, thank you very much for your input! 👍😃 Paldies!!

I wonder what age you consider older

@@MrsUnderwriter Those who grew up in USSR. Russian was mandatory in schools before 1991.

@@peterrisbergs7156 I know. I am fluent in Russian

@@MrsUnderwriter I didn't go to Latvia this year but in previous years I would hear many people speaking English on the tram. I would approach them and say"Excuse me are you American?" If they said no, i would tell them that they spoke excellent English and a conversation would ensue. I had a conversation with a Mexican who was speaking Enclish with an Indian.

Older spekas russian because all paper work in UsSR time was in Russian, if you want to to any gov instance you should write in russian.. it was what ocupants did to native nation

Include: 1. National Library in checklist to visit. 2. Riga motor museum ( really moder car museum in 3 floors ) 3. Of course old Riga downtown

takea train and go to Sigulda and Cēsis

How was it? I am Latvian and I speak Latvian , but last time I felt bit lonely as I haven't got any family or friends left there.

Ludzu!!! An amazing city👌

Riga full of Russians.. only in small towns Lativan are left alone...

Thank you Davis 👌👍

I think the difference is that he approaches people while filming himself and not putting the camera straight into the face of people. This way people have a minute to adapt to the situation instead of being "overrun".

You will enjoy it, but as you can see you will do fine with English👍

Some say Latvian is one of the hardest languages. But Reggae is a pretty common language here.

Thank you so much 😀 i really appreciate it!

Hi Marita, This place was full of unique and interesting things. I agree I saw the keychains and decided to get one right away. Most of all I like to see families running little businesses like that!!! I try and support that as much as I can

@@J.E.E Have you tried the honey?

Thank you! 😃😃👍

Thank you so much 😀

Find a forum on a topic that interests you. Try, translate and correspond. Develop closer links with someone who speaks and make regular calls to practice speaking. Watch lots of shows in the language you are learning.

Liels paldies, i am so glad you are enjoying the content and stay tuned for more videos from Latvia!! 😃👍

Hello my friend,. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with me I am happy that the content is of value to you, as the objective of the channel has always been to entertain, educate, insipre and discover. I really want people to feel like they got more from a video than just 30 minutes of entertainment, but actually feel like they want to see, experience, taste and try new things, therefore you message means a lot. Thank you for watching mate

@@J.E.E I know you are luleh kebab lover. If you haven't, try Persian luleh kebabs or more to your experience try kefta/kufta from Eastern Europe or Lebanon/Turkey/Armenia/Middle East that has the greens inside of the meat cooked. Sounds strange but instead of the parsely/cilantro outside, inside the meat is actually amazing. In the same region we got our own version of hamburger patties called Kotlet or Catlet which combines onion, potato and ground meat into patties. The addition of potato is another counter intuitive thing lol.

👍👌

Liels paldies!! 👍😃

Thank you so much mate👌👍

i wonder how he survived the terrible holocaust in latvia that killed 80% of latvian and other jews there. I think his father lost most if not all of his family there during the holocaust

Thank you so much for the kind words, i really appreciate it! 👍👌

decent amount of people speak swedish there. Latvians love Swedes as well.

@@antanassmetona4054 really? One thing i noticed though when i was in Estonia, was that some of the card readers text was in Swedish "Ta bort kortet" and i was very shocked. I even saw Swedish flags hanging on a street corner

@@chapno4255 because Finns, Latvians and Estonians saw Swedes as actual good rulers, not some oppressors. It can especially be seen in Latvia. It was like a cultural golden age for them when Swedish empire ruled over them. If we’re not talking about historical background, Latvians just see the Swedes in a very positive light almost like a cousin/brother relationship, Latvia looks up to his “brother”. Baltics and Nordics being Northern European, hence all this friendliness - does play into account as well. Economically and politically, Latvia and even other Baltics have Sweden as one of their biggest economic partners (Swedish companies are everywhere, everyone’s using Swedbank, etc.). But as I said prior, it’s mostly the historical significance that Latvians cherish and loves swedes for. The “I occupy you but don’t kill you and actually treat you as equals” thing is very appreciated.

@@antanassmetona4054 Thats nice, i know Finland has that "brother" relationship with Sweden and that many ethnic swedes have lived there for hundreds of years and still do, so a lot of swedish is spoken there. Everybody in Sweden knows that Finland and Sweden are "brothers"

@@chapno4255 yeah, with latvian case it’s like half brothers you could say. So many things these two countries share that most people don’t know about.

Es dzīvoju UK apmēram 20g un nekad neesmu satikusi otru latvieti. (Tikai online)

​@@EiwaGreen-kc2wu Pirms padsmit gadiem Anglijā padzīvoju vienu mēnesi (biju ciemos aizbraucis) un pa to laiku paspēju satikt māsas vīra paziņas, kaut kādā parkā, negaidīti. UK pilns ar letiņiem, bet pa ielu ejot pēc sejas jau īsti nepateiks kurš latvietis.

@@Mucky_Muck es zinu, ka lielpilsētās ir latvieši. Es dzīvoju laukos pēdējie 10g. Nezinu nevienu Latvieti, bērni nerunā latviski (mēs vairāk runājam Velsas valodā), bet man ļoti patīk linguistics un meklēju RU-vid videos ar jauniem latviešu slangiem (vārdi kuri nav vārdnīcā).

Hi my friend, it does sound unusual, but the flavor is amazing!! 😃👍 I recommend you to try the potato pancake with jam and sour cream, you won't regret it!! 😃👍 Thank you so much for watching and commenting!!

@@J.E.E OK, you convinced me. Sometimes an outsiders fresh perspective can surprise with new flavours. Have you ever tried peanut butter and pickle sandwich on white bread? It sounds weird but it is my favourite sandwich ever since the day i tried it. Not joking.
