Day 87 Leaving Riga to Stockholm

Today is my last day in Riga. Thank you Ieva for hosting us!


There are a few things I notice about Riga.

1. This place is full of Graffitis! Almost every wall I see, there are Graffitis on them! Either the government doesn't care or it is quite tolerate to this.



2. Streets are more interesting than in Helsinki. There are street musicians and beggars with dogs!



All in all, there is just something in Riga that makes it so attractive. I don't know the right words to describe it but it's a kind of feeling that you suddenly have when you walk pass alleyways, talk to Latvians in restaurants and stores, ask for directions on the streets, hear street music or spot Graffitis on the walls. Riga is such a cool place. I would really really want to return there some day!

Next stop, Stockholm!

  1. Fight with easter eggs?? hmm, so the loser ends up with egg yolk squirted all over him?

    really.... from your pictures and descriptions it doesn't look that much attractive at all.. It just seems an old and poor city. maybe sometimes has to be felt there

  2. I heard people describe such as "romantic European life" so care less, rush less and time less.
