Brigita Riga

... Drive all around Dublin and the countryside to get the full flavor of this beautiful city and country. Car hire Dublin is highly recommended more than any mode of transport in Ireland. The service providers offer a complete wealth of knowledge to the customers as they know nook and corner of the city. In short they open up the city more widely and clearly from the shopping haven of Grafton Street and the Guinness ...

... joked about how it's not like I have <br>frozen assets that can't be accessed or some ****. He was just giving me a<br>hard time and wanted to continue this "verbal dialog".. I said I'd be<br>around but went to hide in the room! <br><br>That<br>night I ended up closing the bar down with two crazy Norwegians, Beute<br>and Thorstein. Very up to date/humorous/lighthearted people. They were<br>a little drunk too. We<br>chatted for a good while over tea and KitKats and then hit the bar ...

... on. I went another CS for coffee at 1:30 and then met a CS friend at the Train station and we would go to the Baltic Sea. The train ride was about 40 mins...it's a really popular town in the summer. We went to the beach and it was full of snow!! it was crazy to see!!! Someone made a snowman..it was awesome...COLD AND WINDY TOO. There was an indian resturant there and my friend never had Indian food before. So ...

Return to Rîga in a way meant the conclusion of my day. It was still relatively early, but I was already quite tired. So I was not up to any big-time rambling about the town any more. The rest of my day boiled down to first buying some food in a huge Stockmann supermarket in 13.janvâra iela, right by the bus terminal. The huge supermarket, a Finnish chain, I guess, was the most obvious sign of new capitalism infused in recent ...

... re-energising that Tallinn had. Our guidebook describes it thus "a joyous cacophony of 17th-century architecture, crumbling streets and church spires, the fairyland wonder of the World Heritage Listed Old Town is perfect for Riga's main activity - strolling". Over the day we were approached by beggars a number of times. Mostly we just shook our heads or said no, but David did buy a postcard from one old woman who was begging. I feel uncomfortable because I know ...

... 25 euroa. Ihan hieno kaupunkihan "Baltian keskuskin" on. Turistien määrä Vilnaan verrattuna on aika suuri, ihan jo viikonlopunkin vuoksi. Hintataso on oikeastaan yllättävän korkea. Latvian inflaatio on 20 prosentin luokkaa ja pääkaupungissa on paikallisten kertomusten perusteella hinnat tuplaantuneet, jopa triplaantuneet viimeisen parin vuoden aikana. Oluttuoppi maksaa yökerhossa helposti 2,5 latia eli noin 3,5 euroa, kun se pari vuotta sitten irtosi vielä 0,8 ...

The tension in the air is ripe. It is dark outside, with enough blackness to make you question what you are actually doing here. Yes I am on a plane, to a place that not many people have heard of. As the plane makes its final descent and landing onto the tarmac, a great cheer goes up from the locals who are returning home from Abroad. We have landed in the former Soviet country of Latvia, the country where my fathers' roots lie. After a short period of relief, the tension ...

... duchas del primer piso" (el hostel tiene como 3 pisos, yo estoy en el tercero). Asi que fui caminando por esas escaleras extremadamente empinadas de principios de siglo, de madera, desformadas por el uso y la poca mantencion, con especial cuidado para no caerme...seria algo vergonzoso, aparte que era el unico que se duchaba a esa hora todo el resto ya estaba vestido.(11>30am) Encuentro otro bano, me meto y claro, asi si, cada ducha tenia su propia ...

... it was time to get our buts up to Latvia and try our luck there, so we set our sites on Riga the capital and got going. After having a huge lunch we decided to go and try and find a hostel. this was very easy as it turned out there was one around the corner, so we headed in, had the much appreciated shower, then headed down the common room and met some of the crew that was staying at the hostel. From this point I knew that we were up for ...
