Latvia

When I hear people bring out words like Australia and Bali my heart keeps contracting in the same calm way as it did before those words caught my attention. No more did my blood ran faster through my vains with C.C.C.P.


But with so many things you need to have a taste of it before you can appreciate. For me, Riga was a taste of former USSR occupation and stalinist design (and a lot more). And it tasted quite good. So good in fact that I'm even considering to go roadtripping in that vast piece of land I never longed for. Just need to have a look at how realistic this idea is, there is just too much striking and intriguing stuff along the way to let's say Moscow and St-Petersburg that one may simply ignore.
