No One Does This Better Than Latvia 🇱🇻
No One Does This Better Than Latvia 🇱🇻
Join me as we visit the amazing Agenskalns market in Riga Lativa.
This place is a must-visit with a fantastic array of foods, an impressive food court and an underground flea market on Sundays.
But on this day we are celebrating the king of Latvian foods and the vibe is fantastic.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Central and Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakusky and join me as we visit the trendiest market in the city of Riga in Latvia.
Thank you to all my Patreons for your support and helping make this channel what it is!

Justin should be hired by the Latvia Ministry of Tourism, no one on the Internet does as much to spread word about great country of Latvia and Riga as Justin

We don't have such Ministry, it's part of Ministry of Economics who deals with that. Weird name for a job that deal with tourism. But they wouldn't, our government is a bit too dumb...if not totally dumb and re**arded, because out government likes to stagnate things and make progress in wrong directions, unhealthy for locals.

Nope, then he first need to change channel name. Because Latvia is in Northern Europe. 😅
Why would this guy say he's "For Russia" no context, out of blue ... I hope he meets his match very soon. What a dope!

Regarding alcohol, you should try Mūrbūdu sider. It is sour and tasty, sweet-ish, but not like a lemonade like other typical siders. Mūrbūdu is made out of fermented apples as main ingredient, so most of them have distinctive apple-ish tastes, and because of that there's actually natural alcoholic content as well, and sweetness comes from remaining/leftover apple juice. P.S. 50 cents for a match book or box? Even match box not long ago costed just 1/5th of that. 50 cents for it is expensive af, didn't knew match book cost that much now. 2.80 for a single ice cream ball, that's slightly expensive. 2.50 would be acceptable, but 3+ for a single ball of ice is too much to have it.

My neighbourhood when I was a child. At that time it was not so nice. During 80ies, there were separate shops for bread, for fish, for meat, veggies. So you had to stand in a line when there actually is a meat, sausage etc. And you would stand in the line in every shop, most part of it - outside the shop on the street, no roof, -10 C outside and you stand for hours sometimes. But that makes you stronger, not to give up. Cheers, mate!

As far as I know, he is British. He has obviously lived in the United States for some time as he adds some Americanisms such as ''my son has recently graduated from high school'' in England we never speak like that as a graduate is exclusively somebody who has finished university.
