Many Latvians (that live in cities) have a second home on the country. If you've been on the countryside once, you understand why.
The latvian nature is amazing, and even though it seems to have many things in common with the german nature, it's special.
I don't know why I have this impression, but to me it seems like Latvia has more sky than Germany. Probably because there are no mountains and so you can see very far.
Also, after a stressed week in Rīga, sitting in your huge garden, picking tomatoes, cucumbers and berries and watching your little dog running and jumping around is really relaxing. I love Rīga, but I also like the different life on the countryside very much.
If you come to Latvia one day, do not just visit Rīga and other cities (even though you should definitely do this), do also visit the countryside.
I add some photos of our country home and the little forest next to it. Enjoy!

AntwortenLöschenDa bekommt man ja gleich Sehnsucht nach Lettland!
Ich beneide dich echt so darum, dass du dein ATJ dort verbringen darfst, für mich geht es nach Mexiko (zuerst hatte ich eine Zusage für Tschechien, musste aber wegen meiner Eltern das Land wechseln -.-)
Naja, wie auch immer, ich glaube, ich mache mal einen mehrwöchigen Urlaub in Lettland und campe im Wald :D
LG
