Hanza 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 ...

... about the city is uniquely Latvian and they're<br>not trying to please anyone else. I say this because from my experience<br>what happened to Prague was that tourism seemed to stiffle the soul of<br>Czech culture. Walking around that city it was hard for anyone to tell<br>what was Czech and what they wanted people to think Czech was. Riga has<br>its modern (aka "New City") parts as every city does... but they've<br>definitely still held on to a traditional pulse. <br><br><br><br><br><br>

... its entirety. I had a chicken fijaita (very original!) and a beer and was sitting there enjoying the view when none other than Avril Lavigne came on. It was a total shock and one of those things in life where you have to believe in fate. Before I had left, Tanya had said that the song that most described how she felt (without the lovey dovey message) was summed up "When Your Gone". And here, at the top of Riga, they were playing it. It made me think ...

... 12 & there were 5 chairs - 2 in the front "row" for us, and 3 behind us. I'd guess the Opera House was built or at least decorated mid 19th century. Some people were extremely dressed for the night, but others were not. There was a big board, high above the stage, with surtitle translations. I hadn't expected it, but this Verdi opera, written in Italian, was surtitled in Latvian & then English. We had a wonderful view down over the orchestra too, so it made for a busy ...

... Dome Square called the Senior Choir and Dance Group Concert. It was amazing. Actually, the performance was emotional for Jana because you begin to understand the turmoil the country has been through and then to see the culture blissfully portrayed by so many people who lived the experience is just breath taking. Yes, we have LOTS of pics which will better help show the emotions of happiness and celebration. A pamphlet we received stated ...

... gave a narrative of these events plus continued Soviet rule through 1991. There were artifacts from the meeting and even the secret provision of a treaty signed by Stalin and von Ribbentrop (the German negotiator) agreeing to the fate of Latvia. Tomorrow, we leave our hotel by 4:30 to begin our long journey home. We fly from Riga to Moscow to Amsterdam to Memphis to Knoxville. It will be a long day, but we're looking forward to getting home.

... the Komo... train station to pick it up and then go to my hostel to get my bags and then to another train station/ sounded like Gretsky station to me / to leave for Riga. This is all on the Metro, complete with line changes for each trip. I left the tour at 5.30 p.m., my train was at 9 p.m. and I had to accomplish all this, with limited knowledge of where the stations were located. The train stations are not connected to the Metro as they are in ...

... no hacen ruido...entonces no entiedo, porque aqui(y en Polonia) funciona toda esa area tan bien y en Chile...bueno ustedes ya saben como es. Es verdad que hay muchos edificios feos, pero igual la ciudad tiene forma no se, armonia, plazas y cosas de esas...son paises mas pobres que Chile pero en ciertos aspectos estan a anos luz...es tan molesto. Obviamente en Chile esto lo comentan hace anos, pero no entiendo porque aqui funciona y alla no..., no quiero ...

... our hostel quite easily and then decided to go for a walk on the town. We had the cheapest beer yet during our travels and enjoyed it on a patio in one of the town's old central squares. It was pure heaven... Then when it was time to get home, we got lost... in the rain.... so it was quite funny as we tried to navigate our way in the DARK (we hadn't seen darkness in over one month!) but we finally made our way back. Yesterday we spent the entire day walking around the city. We ...
