Everything about Latvia is a contrast. The buildings, the scenery, the people, the customs and the experiences. It is just simply amazing to see and experience the surprises that crop up around every corner and in everyday life. From the experience at the small cafe to to the performances at the opera or ballet. What you expect may be not always what you encounter. The good and the bad; be better and the worse; the exciting and the dull experiences are what makes Latvia so exciting to just wonder; explore and be amused at what you find.
