If you’re looking for some fresh music to listen, try finding singles of group “ēnas” (”shades” in English). They’ve had good songs playing on Radio SWH, like “Somehow” and “Beautiful Morning”, check them out!

Video: Skydiving in Latvia – Aerodium

Thursday October 4th, 2007 in Latvia | No Comments »

This clip “Static Skydiving in Latvia” shows you the miracle originating from Latvia – Aerodium.
It’s that air tunnel put to stand vertically not horizontally. The result is a cool way to waste your money and have fun for some five minutes riding on air like in a real free fall.

Try it, if you’re somewhere near city Sigulda . Sigulda is only 50km from Riga, don’t be lazy! ;)

BTW, this thing is getting update next year – the new static skydiving machine will be built in city Jelgava (just about 50 km from Riga), in 2008!

Prices on food and drinks in Latvia

Monday October 1st, 2007 in Money | No Comments »

Food and drink prices in Latvia – i’ve given prices in Euros, British Pounds and latvian Lats. This should make it easy for you to calculate your trip!

See section “Latvia Prices” to see how much food, drinks and cigarettes cost in Latvia.

I’m about to correct and add more prices, as they change with time. Latvia has some issues with inflation, prices on goods and services are constantly climbing.
