| Video Discription | Latvia is a small country with a population of less than two million. While people are generally relaxed and tranquil there are some things which will offend. Here are 6 Things Not To Do in Latvia! 1. Don’t mention the Russians! Latvia has a complex relationship with Russia. Many Latvians feel the Russians don’t accept them as their own independent country and many Russians living there don,t feel accepted as Latvians. Neither like an ignorant tourist voicing their opinion about it! 2. Don’t ignore their language! The Latvian language was suppressed during the Russian occupation so try to learn some simple words. Sveiki (hello) Ardievas (goodbye) Paldies (thanks). They know they’re never going to be a global language but they really appreciate you trying. 3. Don’t avoid the local dishes! Latvians are proud of their culture and cuisine. Try the local dishes and beverages and give your opinion, especially if you like them. From fried garlic bread to fresh fruit jams, Latvia has a varied cuisine with excellent domestic beers. 4. Don’t be aggressive (unless you’re driving!) Latvians generally have a calm and “each to his own” lookout on life so don’t be brash or too bold, unless you’re behind the wheel, then it really is each to his own! 5. Don’t turn up empty-handed! If you get invited to someone’s house always bring an odd number of flowers, an even number is associated with death, some food or beverages and remember to take your shoes off just inside the door. 6. Don’t disrespect nature! Half of Latvia is still virgin forest. Most Latvians are nature lovers and still follow many pagan traditions. They will show you how to make crowns from flowers and tea from the local herbs. Join in respectfully and they will appreciate it. If you liked this video, subscribe.
