In Soviet commie block of Jelgava we meet Gatis and we talk about the hard life in Latvia and in living in Scotland. Just like in my native country Portugal young Latvians leave the country to venture off into western Europe trying to earn more money while life in the homeland only gets more expensive by the day. An ex Soviet country in the European Union. We ride the Honda motorcycle only on off-road routes to Iecava where we'll spend most of the week. The smallest house we stayed in but 'the Shire' becomes our favorite place. Peter and Tatjana are straight up characters pulled from the lust for life book. Tatjana Palčuka-Rikāne is a renowned painter in Latvia and we were lucky enough to have been showcased some of here beautiful work.

Forgive me for the shaky camera work on the dslr. Been using a different lens but the built in stabilization isn't as good which took some time to finally notice. More about Tatjana the painter www.world-today-news.com/always-upstream-iecava-artist-tatjana-palcuka-rikane-paints-world-renowned-works-article Channel of her work that here biggest fan and most dedicated manager Peter manages kzfaq.info/love/hsFSQwENktd4RcuF8ImqLg How do you like the 'Shire'? Ended up being our favorite place and a perfect spot to edit videos.

I'm flying to Riga from Houston Texas tomorrow. The length of days shortens quickly in Sept. and Oct in Latvia. When I leave on Oct 19 the days will be almost 3 hours shorter. Don't drink and drive at all in Latvia. The penalties are very severe and obey speed limits.

One word I constantly hear incorrectly and for some weird reason it grates on me. I am so happy you have not fallen in to the PronOUnciation trap. You actually said "pronunciation." It's such a common mistake for ESL speakers. Good on ya! (Taking boots off) "Who do you rekon is going to stink the place up more?" "Ah these don't stink." ha ha love it!

@@fungo6631 it's not completely untrue what the guy said. In ex soviet countries there is a mentality 'everything is bad' and because of this people don't see perspective and don't chase their dreams. Of course living standards and opportunities in Latvia are worse then in Finland or the Netherlands, but there are enough opportunities to make life better than it is now.

Soviets disappeared ages ago. No reason to associate Baltics or any other place on earth as ex-soviet. It was useless disgraceful regime. I suppose you don't refer to Austria as ex-nazi country. Please change the title if its possible to show some respect. Thank you.

German occupation was changed to Soviet occupation. And, yes, that hurts. Your comment, Johnny, is not just stupid, but also evil. And I highly doubt that you live in the West. Most probably you are paid kremlin troll from somewhere around.
