  Liepaja, Latvia
Saturday, September 15, 2007

Hello,

I arrive in Latvia 4 days ago.
Many things happen since,
Where to start i don't know.
I've met already lots of people since then. This city Liepaja is the Latvian's rock city,place where in the hard rock cafe or (rock cafe) you have the most famous Latvians singers performing on a small stage and almost nobody give attention ( cause they are used to it), except this crazy Russian guy singing "yesterday" ( beattles) on the stage, that was the "big up" of the concert. 
Yesterday we went with Ance (the girl who host me) for a walk on the beach. Beautifull place who give you loss to keep walking to Lithuanian beach (only 60 km from here)
On the way back with stop to the rock bar, just for 1 drink, which end up now, at 12 oclock, noon time in the internet cafe

First evening Liepaja with Ance

.
In the mid time we have been to a bar after meeting her brother and friend, rock band was playing, and I had the chance to meet the most crazy and nice barman ever, this kind of guy who is to lazy to serve you alcohol in a glass so he put you the bottle straight in your mouth and wait till you can't drink anymore and forgot to make you pay cause he is even more drunk than you, any places in the world he would have lost his job straight away, but here it's just a way of beeing.
After that we were wlking home when suddlenly Agneese invite us for a drink in the place where she lives (not really her place but everybody's house). Old wooden house, very big where inside it's like paradise, matrises everywhere on the floor for people coming for visit or just mistaken the way home (like me)
We set there drinkinking few beers and talking about life till eeeeuuuhhh! what time ? don't remember.
The feeling of this place is the same than when you listen the song from the beattles "Imagine", with no borders, no countries, no greed or hunger, you are just there for a trip back in the seventies, but for them it's their way of living, it's so nice!!!. When i've open my eyes and went to the kitchen, they were a girl with the baby, water melon, cofee ,  and very important !the picture of  Mohamed, (the same one than in the Danish new's paper) which made a scandale in the world, cause suddenly liberty of expression was not alowed for a week

The beach party 60000 people juste missed it

. And the baby who was about 1 year old and just start to say some few words, look at the picture and say "Mohamed"...so i asked the girl "why?", and she told me "just for fun" cause that part of history, he has to know.
Undėrstand if you want to, i'm still wonderring....
Anyway!, that was the most amazing experience ever!
And here now i'm just coming back to normal life......some people will get it :)

For the beggining of my trip, it was in Riga, and i had the chance to meet Liga, the girl who host me for 3 nights. We didn't had too much time to talk , cause she was working early in the morning and so she had to go to bed quite early. Th 2 nights we talked was very good, she's in LOVE with Italy and i hope that she will manage at some stage to live there. She's a very busy girl, and still  hosting people all the time, (she's booked till midd October)
It's just normal for her, quite big flat and very confotable sofa, so why not make other people be a part of it....

I have so many other things to say, like the pasta dish that Ance she made me when i arrive to her place yesterday, very simple but so fill full (it was my first hot meal since i left Ireland)
The meeting with Inese (friend of Liga) at the cinema and watch this Italian movie from the 20' (called Rocco and his brothers) (you should watch it)and this guy who were doing live translation from italian to latvian, after 15mn somebody complained so he stoped

the fence of the football statium

!
Inese, Good luck to you in Minsk for this year in the Embassy!
The first to days i spend on my own in old part of Riga, wonderring what i was doing here, i guess i just have get use to it, and it's very rich experience till now.
The visit of Bauska city, place where i didn't want to go , but i made a mistake of the location. I spend my afternoon on intenet and i had the chance to communicate with Irene (very good friend from Denmark) on intenet, who try to explain me why i was here... :)

Any way i will tell you more about this week end in Liepaja next time i go to intenet.
We going to the market now, tomorrow we going to Lithuania for the day.

I wish you all the best, sorry for the mistake on the writting I don't have time to read it again, i'm already late (what new!)

Take it easy and talk to you soon.

PEACE and LOVE

Nico
