Why Latvia?
Hi, sorry for writing here, but I wanted to ask you a question: how, or why, or, better, what for do you like Latvia so much. Nothing serious, I'm just interested. j 00:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Please excuse the late reply. My passion for Latvia is partly derived from my German ancestry, even though not directly (ancesters were from East Prussia), then indirectly (The Baltics). Even though I am born and raised in Denmark, our family never lost touch of the East Prussian traditions. As an example, I can tell you that pasta (or noodles) was not standard inventory of a typical Danish supermarket 30 or so years ago.


 * 1992 was the year I visited Riga for the first time. I was very intrigued by the many differences between the post-Soviet and Danish cultures, then again also the similarities of the Latvian and East Prussian cultures. What also intrigued me was the fact, that it was possible to take a pre-World War II map of Riga and still find most of the places left, either intact, as a ruin or as empty uninhabited spots.
