riga, latvia.

today i got to riga, in latvia. latvia is the one country in the middle, between the other 3 baltic republics...it's the one i have trouble thinking of because in italian it's "lettonia", very similar to lithuania, and there's no V...so anyway, riga is very pretty, not as cosy as tallinn but with wonderful roofs, churches and streets...there's still some russians, maybe even more than in estonia, and the language is one out of two indo-european languages in the baltic, it might be at risk of extinction, i am not sure...but it does sound strange, not similar to russian or anything...tonight i went to somebody from CS's graduation and it was fun, 7 girls and me at "Ai Karamba!"...all CS members except one, whom will soon join us! haha what a surprise...tomorrow it's big soccer/football game, italy-czech republic, and i might be going to jurmala, the #1 seaside resort in the baltic, with my supercool hosts A and L...fun will be had!
