Riga

[Arizona]

Thinking of nipping over there for a couple of nights and a few beers next week. Has anyone been and can say what it's like, reccomend any decent bars etc. and things to do during the day?

I've missed your infinite wisdom these last few months Gary...

I had a friend who went over there about three weeks ago and he couldn't get over how unlike it is to Talin (sp?), Prague, Budapest (i.e the other old eastern bloc capitals). Apparently it is still very communist in feel and the people were very xenophobic and unfriendly. He didn't seem to enjoy it at all.

 

I am sure this will be argued with by somone who has had a great time there, but it's what he told me.

Riga is brilliant, really enjoyed it. If you end up paying 1 Lat (almost exactly £1) a pint then you are paying too much. Go to another bar.

 

Of course, in the crappy industrial sh*thole of Daugavpils, we were paying only 30p a pint. Them were the days.
