Welcome to my newly created blog!
I have intended to use this blog as a source of expressing my thoughts, emotions and suggestions about various events happening in Latvia, and sometimes in my private life as well.
I have intended to use this blog as a source of expressing my thoughts, emotions and suggestions about various events happening in Latvia, and sometimes in my private life as well.
However, I don't want this to be a dry and formal blog, that only states some numerical facts. What I want is to share some of my own experience and impressions about this wonderful country. Not from governmental, diplomatic or news-like way. The information given here will be from the perspective of everyday normal citizen - me.
I have also compiled some information and created some pages to make things clearer for you. This covers:
- Information about the country itself (Location, weather, state symbols, etc.)
- Interesting facts about Latvian people
- Some hints about our culture, habits and history
- Descriptive photo and music galleries
To make a short introduction to the country I love, I can offer you the brief introductory video below. Directed by Ivo Kalpenieks, this video expands on Latvia's tourism slogan "The Land that Sings" by conveying the sights and sounds of Latvian nature, business and tourism. Riga's familiar Jugenstil architecture comes to life as the distinctive stone faces introduce each segment of the video.
I hope that you will enjoy the reading process as much I will enjoy the writing!
Also, if there is a topic you would like for me to write, do not hesitate to leave it in the comments section. Alternatively, you can reach me through my e-mail rihards.zeila@gmail.com
