... zwischen Arm und Reich. Die Naehe, die beide zueinander haben und das Mass an Ignoranz, was sie sich gegenseitig entgegenbringen.<br><br>Ich hoffe, dass den baltischen Staaten geholfen wird, mit EU-Geldern dort zu helfen, wo es gebraucht wird. Dies sind Staaten, die nicht nur mit Know-How am wirschaftlichen Wertschoepfungsprozess teilnehmen. Nur wegen Ihrer Groesse bzw "Kleine" verdienen diese Menschen doch genauso ein funktionierendes Gesundheits- und Rentensystem. <br ...

... noticed people giving money to a driver, so like ths stop before I was suppose to get off, i give the driver the money. I got off and had breakfast with a CS and then went to the museam of the Oppupation. It only opens at 11am and it was only 10am so i went to Double Coffee and went on the internet...I met up with my friend Lily at the Museam. She is Russian and the museam is about the Russians occupying Latvia. So she was taught something different. It was good ...

... in we met in the foyer for a quick walking tour of the old down. Riga's old town is amazing; it is benefiting from the influx of foreign capital through its EU membership, as well as tourist from the UK (Riga features on the list of favoured buck's night party destinations). With all the destruction which came to the town due to Soviet, then German, then Soviet occupation, the people have done an amazing job of rebuilding the town ...

... but that was only 17 years ago. Gosh the people in this part of the world have suffered. David is keen to see the Museum of Occupation - which we have walked past a couple of times today. But I thought we were too tired today to do it justice. That will probably be first thing this morning. It's ironic - I'd just been saying to David that I didn't necessarily know where everything was (David is doing a marvellous job of guiding us, and sometimes I'm just tagging ...

... on hyväksytty UNESCOnkin listoille. Illalla tuli sitten lähdettyä ulos, varmaan ensimmäistä kertaa lauantaina tämän reissun aikana. Lähdettiin aussin ja muutaman saksalaisen kanssa juhlimaan yhden sakemannin tulevaa lasta. Riikassa kannattaa tietää mihin menee, koska monet paikat ovat olemassa ihan vain sen takia että ne pääsevät kusettamaan turisteja. Lapsen saava saksalainen oli onneksi asunut Riikassa pari vuotta sitten, joten olimme kohtuu turvallisissa käsissä.

July 1, 2007 This morning we arrived in Latvia after a very relaxing 13 hour train ride. I think I can safely say that I could grow used to this first class stuff, especially on eastern European trains. Today has been a day of orienting ourselves with the city. The hotel that we found on hostel world is surprisingly nice, actually ...

... known as, Mafia Mobiles. The Russian Mafia still has a strong presence in this country, one that is scary but at the same time a novelty. The kind of novelty that makes you want to run up and knock on the tinted windows, hoping for it to move down, in an attempt to get a happy snap of some authentic Eastern European organized crime, Oh the memories! Our accommodation is quite charming. The apartment is spacious with all the mod cons, but at the same time has that old world ...

... europeas, no estoy tan seguro(claro que yo si que me hubiese sorprendido)...ayer en la noche use el mismo bano, pero como no habia gente, no me di cuenta de que era de mujeres. Aparte en las puertas tienen un dibujo minusculo de un mono con bigotes, y una tipa con sombrero....no me fije...aunque en mi defensa puedo decir que necesitan carteles mas claros. Yo pense que con lo de la manana se habian acabado las situaciones extranas...pero lamentablemente me ...

... had met along with us as well. On the way to the pub I was feeling particularly cheeky and decided it was high time to do a pants down walk through the streets. Problem was my jeans were around my ankles and I am sure that it was the cobbled street and not the vodka that made me stumble. Once the process started it was like a big oak tree toppling over and I crash landed right there in the middle of the street. We were all ******* ourselves with ...
