Living traveling, Tripluca.com

Last night about eleven o'clock I and a friend, Pino, we were quietly talking to a girl that we wanted to bring in a nightclub. We were in the middle of the historic center of Riga, our friends had just gone and we were waiting for them.

Two minutes before they had stopped to talk with two girls, and had suddenly disappeared.
While trying to resist the entreaties of the agent of night, even sympathy, and passed a police van.

At one point approaches a boy of about twenty years and began to shout in Russian in Pine 1.85, which is high and weighs a hundred pounds.
A friend has put you in the middle and said:
- "Leave him alone he's drunk." Continue reading »

Vilnius, Lithuania, March 13, 2006
Now just type in Vilnius and Riga Connection Paoletta of 101 on Friday with a fool, "but that there are low cost airlines for the Baltic?", Live in front of 456 million people. "Ehmm ... ie I do not know, but I think". Obviously it was the Air Baltic.
Put online 330 photos of Tallinn and take other 300 in Riga . In the apartment I had the famous wireless (which sometimes serves to something) and are also able to work. I visited apartments, discussed with owners etc. .. etc. .. I threw in a free holes in the Old Town and City Centre and take pictures. Between one thing and another I bought a slice of salmon in the oven and slammed it with a little onion and cream. I tried the nightlife but I was wrong timing. On Friday evening I went out too soon and when I arrived at "Nobody writes to the colonel," there was still people and I'm not going to stand there alone. There was the crowd needed to smile and pretend to know all they have left home and friends at the table to get bored while I'm too cool and I go around talking to girls. I would go, I got a beer and I would sit awkwardly waiting. So I postponed to Saturday. On Saturday in Riga is scary.
On Saturday night I go out with my camera to take some photos, and then go somewhere. The great Russian winter will be set to roar and the wind, I think, leave me very little autonomy -10. I defy the pain in your fingers and click. The Way, I cover from wind, wake up the machine and redemption. And so on for an hour. There is almost no one around, and those few are run from one room to another, but there's still a lot of movement. I am exhausted as after the crossing of Siberia on foot. The warm bed is calling me. I answer.

On the bus from Riga to Vilnius, a Japanese know that after sinking a little in his headphones, and for lunch a Lithuanian whose uncle was killed by Russians in 1991, when they attacked the TV tower of 13 men died and a girl. Those were the days of the war in the gulf, there is not even noticed. Also did not even know existed Baltic states.
Now it is here in low cost paper indentation and history who have suffered is, unfortunately, removed from memory. Incredible.

Upon arriving at the station in Vilnius I buy a card for the phone. Type 3 in Tallinn had cost 3 euro euro credit. A Row 3 Euro 4 Euro credit. Here I enter the shop and ask if I can pay in Lats (Latvian Schei). No, only litas (Lithuanian Schei). Azz .. as I do, etc., etc..
He pulls out a packet, hands it to me and says:
- "You see I did not" (you have not seen).
It 'a new card! I'm appalled by the generosity.
- "How much does it cost?"
- "89 cents"
- "And how much credit?"
- "49 cents".
Ok, still generous. As soon as I leave an abusive driver provides his services.
- "Put the meter?" Bacpacker ritual question of the true (although I have a trolley China bought in Krakow from 10 Euro).
- "Not at all tassamemetro, 10 litas (3 euros)."
Ok. I give the address and number: Cytherea (4), in perfect Russian.
He looks at me and says:
- "Ale pan Mowi polsku little" (but speaks Polish).
In fact I put a Russian accent.
- "Tak Tak, let's go." And we are doing the usual talk of Italians who speak Polish and Polish-shore tassisit (tutis).
The languages ​​are no longer as good as I once.

197 Photos of Riga

Monday May 5, 2003, Riga
Line and 'a secret that should not be disclosed, and in fact does not tell you. Just know that has to do with mathematics, more 'precisely what have percentages that emigration, wars, alcohol and other things. I say no more, if you are interested, perhaps you will find out for themselves. Stop.
Came and left my three musketeers have been with me for a week long Baltic pecking cold and rain. Before and after them the sun.
Many discos, where among other things we have seen the most 'shocking striptease amateur world has ever seen. Ie 'the girls of the public who would have traded for the first few moments of Lucie Betrothed, lap dancer turned into a barracks of the Sino-Soviet border only by the light of the stage and looks dazed maschiotto some (including us).
The two split back Paul almost slipping on his own saliva, while Denis was almost pissed off by the scandal. I, I thought I had seen it all, I was shocked. However, later, as if by miracle, are back to being normal girls. Transformed from the stage. Needless to say the track, usually always full of women (men are getting drunk on sofas), and is' filled with lizards emerged from hibernation in heat (ooppss.. But who are those four? I do not seem the place ...) .

Oh, yeah, right, the details:
Architecture: Riga, 'a city' with a lot of very beautiful Art-Nouveau style architecture (early 900), a beautiful old town, etc., etc., etc., ...
Money: and 'far more' expensive Vilnius ('cause if they do not earn more'?), And also they are provisional in an ancient language, you learn to be elusive and utterly useless as the Venetian and 'most' talked about the Latvian (We in Latvia).
Women: a lot, beautiful, young, well-maintained, culturally high-level (say, but they are not able to test it with my degree in accountancy) and theoretically available (again, sore and even here, the diploma is not needed) .
Men: ssseee and who cares?
Children go to school + some begging for tourists, as in Vilnius.
Elderly: even some beggar
Drunkards: and also taken several bad
Latas: a Latas is worth about 1.5 euros! I mean 'have become the currency that is worth a pound type. Maybe they feel more 'cool, who knows?
Leisure: a Latvian ask what the weekend will tell you 'goes to the sea in Jurmala (to freeze).
Women: still?
Night life: you get to a human hours (non-Italian and Spanish more 'cool, and six more' Vai later), that 'around 23. The rest 'as in all the clubs in the world but with some Russian pop, and 90% of women on the track (yet).
D ay life: depends on what time, 'finished the night life. The tourist goes hunting for pictures, others are free. It 'a democratic country.
Communism: and it 'was little, but the relics most' faithful are over 50 cashiers in supermarkets, real Stalinist products. If you do not growl and 'not to make trouble.
Capitalism: hooray, the salvation of mankind ', and' everywhere.
Democracy: This by-product of capitalism and 'less visible, but there seems to be (at least from them, heh heh! By the way, how's it going with Berlusca?)
Accommodations: expensive but we have found an apartment and split the costs. And the question, and 'always the same:' cause they spend 30 euros each for a hole in the hotel if they can 'spend 15 for an apartment? We have used this site in Italian with apartments .

Ok, just buy the guide for the rest.
