Most of Latvian are cold and bit rude, the 40+ yrs old ppl don't speak English, and they will lose their patient when hearing English. You could read some reviews about Latvian in Quora. Btw I am currently living in Riga, I am so disappointed about Latvia.

Next time you visit you should explore some other cities, as the vibe is so different. Must see places in Latvia: Kuldīga, Sigulda, Cēsis, Venspils, Liepāja, many of the old castles - Koknese, Rundāle, and many many more. Although, it should be said that you would need a car for it. P.S It kind of pains me to see people visit only Riga yo understand what Latvia is, as it is the nicest city in all Latvia and is different from most other cities, as it is the most cullturally rich, diverse and, no doubt, beautiful, but it does not reflect the reallity. Of course, if you have only one or two days, then Riga is definately the place to visit.

The Swedish gate gets its name from when the Swedes occupied Riga and Russia (I think?) tried to take it back. Instead of attacking, they closed off the cities connections to the outside and so they couldn't get food and other supplies. The Swedes had a few months worth of food but when it ran out they all had to leave the city through that gate :)

Trauksme in Latvian actually means "alert". And "brīvība" means freedom, so Brīvības iela is 'Freedom street'. Back in Czars Time it was Alexander Street named by Czar Alexander obviously. In 1919 during German occupation it was Wilhelm strasse. During Soviet occupation Lenin's street (Ulica Lenina). Every other from freedom represented some occupant personality, so nobody of those guys were keen in freedom as You can see. The Swedish gate is where supposedly Swedish army went in to Riga. There's a legend, that Gustav Vasa lost his riding boot while passing across mote there. "Swedish times" are considered most mild in Latvian history for Latvian peasant. While still being serfs in German, Polish or Swedish mansions, Latvians were better off during this time. Some were able to proof themselves in crafts, trade, science etc. Some Latvians served in Swedish army, even rising to officer ranks, such as captain and so...

Kiitos!

If you guys go to a pharmacy in certain EU countries you can get your US vaccine card turned into an EU Digital Cert.

it works in Germany

Even though Riga is under lockdown and it makes me sad I can't fully experience the city, it's fascinating how much I get to see and enjoy just because of the beauty of the place! Hope to come back again when things are calmer

Right now I'm in Latvia for the summer holidays! Rīga is beautiful! I like seeing you travel!

nu kur jus esat latvieshi👀

A little mistake - you don't need to know russian to get job , except if you want to join company which mainly has russian employees , perhaps russian owned co . But of course most adults over 40 still know it from the soviet times.

I dont think so. In a job where you are required to work with clients, Russian language surely will help you a lot.

My New fav travel vlog ♥️

Great Video! Hello, from Latvia!

You DONT have to know russian to get a job... Dont know where you got that! Latvian language is main language. English i would say is second thing.

@@user-by9hr3cy8k i was born in Latvia. And lived there for some 30 years. You could say ive been there. Never. Not once ive heard from someone you have to know russian to get a job. Or i got asked wether i know russian to get a job. It could depend i guess on who gives the job and what kind of job it is aswell of course. Also i do speak fluent russian. But english would help you more in landing a job than russian i think...

@@gundarsmiks4889 I can't imagine the situation in Latvia is any different to Estonia (where I live) in terms of needing Russian to get a job, and here Estonian-speaking Russians have a big advantage on the market, since the public sector and many service companies - such as banks - still value the ability to speak Russian. Riga has a larger Russian-speaking population than Tallinn, so I imagine Russian is even more of an advantage there.

@@phuttyyt it definetly is a plus if you speak russian. But definetly you would get jobs without russian in Latvia. I think many times people in shops dont speak russian. Its not official language. I guess if you just want to get things done and sales to happen russian would help in public service yes. Like banks where you would need to explain things, yea... In Poland i think most of the people know russian. And there is many russians. But they will not speak to you in russian. Because of what happened in Ww2. Maybe after you say that you are not russian, they will speak in russian. Not kidding...

@@phuttyyt Well I don't know about Riga but I can assure you that they are mostly in Latgale or in Daugavpils.

I’m Russian born in Latvia. And we all know Latvian perfectly, and English of course. It’s not true, that you are not excepted by employers if you don’t know russian. It more works oppositely, that you are not employed on high positions if you have Russian surname, even tho you the best specialist. But still many Latvians think that they are "discriminated" meanwhile we, Russians, can’t even have at least one Russian school in Latvia (because they closed all of them, why? because they are nationalists) instead of embracing diversity and multiculturalism they try to kill our culture. Felt like you need to know the other side.

Just found your channel and suscribed immediately. Love your upbeat and comedy style

Great vid as usual Oskar and Dan. Have visited Riga and found the architecture so amazing. Like you I also traveled Ryanair Dublin to Riga. What country are you guys in now? Keep safe and well.

You can tell Riga was in the Hanseatic League from some of the buildings. They reminded me of Lübeck, Bremen, and others.
