Vēlos pasūtīt jaunu mikrofonu un uztrāpijos uz saita gameroom.lv Agrāk nebija dzirdēts. Kādas atsauksmes? Scams vai legit?

Is English widely spoken in Latvia?

Vai kāda vieta kur var redzēt apkopotu info par nodokļiem kādi jàmaksā muitojot preci, ja jāsūta uz nonEU valstīm - piemēram Norvēģija, Šveice…? Jo ja es kā pārdevējs nenomuotošu preci, tad pircējam tas būs jādara + jāmaksā vēlreiz gan PVN gan muitas nodoklis.

Could anyone recommend a quality formalwear shop? Looking mostly for some slim shirts, blazers and chinos and would like to avoid Apranga/P&K and similar with their non-iron square-shaped shirts bs.

Is Suitsupply in Galleria Riga any good?

Sveiki , kādam ir kādi pieredzes stāsti par šo tēmu Latvijā? Kāds ie process, kāda ir atlīdzība utt.

Esmu pasākumā Baltic beauty un te lielākā daļa prezentētāju un konkursu notiek krieviski. Reklāmiņas arī krieviski. Tā jau pasākums foršs, bet es nesaprotu un liekas arī ne pārāk iejūtīgi, skatoties uz Ukrainas karu.

Hello! I’m writing a research paper about Latvia’s diplomacy with China during the interwar period and surprisingly there were multiple Latvian colonies in Harbin, Manchuria and other places. Does anyone have relatives/known people with relatives who were somehow related to the region at the time? I’d appreciate any crumbs :)

Hi, I will be in Riga and was wondering if you have an app that is the best to use for car parking anywhere in the city and that maybe shows if in this exact location i need to pay or not.

Sveiki!

Dzīvē nu ir tāds posms, ka pašreizējais darbs sāk radīt neapmierinātības sajūtu un galvā aizvien vairāk nāk domas par darba/karjeras maiņu.

Vai kādām no Jums ir bijusi pieredze ar karjeras konsultantiem?

Ir kāds kuru ieteiktu?

Sveiki! Meklēju šobrīd kādu kas būtu gatavs īrēt dzīvokli Rīgā ( visticamāk, ka centrā vai pārdaugavā ). Esmu 22 gadus vecs, kluss, nav dzīvnieki, strādāju parastu 9-5 darbu.

Hello! Looking for a roomate that would rent with me somewhere in Riga. Im 22 years old, quiet, without pets and work a regular 9-5.

If anyone is interested in meeting and renting starting mid-november - december, hit me up in the dms.

UPDATE:

Thank you for all the advice!

I ended up putting my luggage into storage and exploring old town for a bit! I will definitely look into doing other recommended things next time I’m there.

Cheers!

Hey!

I’m traveling today and I have a 3 hour ‘overlay’ at the Riga bus station. There’s not much to do there other than sit and wait, so I wanted to ask you guys for some recommendations!

Maybe a nice cafe nearby, somewhere else to sit that’s more comfortable? Anything really, because I’m not sure what to do with my time there.

I do have a really heavy and big suitcase with me, so unless there’s a service that holds my suitcase for me - I can’t walk around or too far.

Thank you in advance!!

Sveiki! Varbut diezgan stulbs jautājums, bet kāda ietekme uz komunālajiem varētu but mēnesī, ja sildu tos 3m2 ar apsildāmajām grīdām?

Hi, so as the title says, im thinking about living in Riga for a month, i saw in ss.lv that theres possible to rent a room with private bathroom/ small apartment for about 200euros plus utilities. Do they rent it out for only a month for that price? Does anyone here maybe have/know somebody that has something like this to rent out.

Nesen uzgāju vietni Vestiaire Collective. Izskatās, ka tur arī pārdevēji no Baltijas. Kādam ir bijusi pieredze ar šo platformu? Vai arī pirmā dzirdēšana?

I’ve had a very difficult year. I was deep in a depression when sudden travel plans led me to Latvia, a trip that would change my perspective on life.

This trip would have me traveling to several countries, but Latvia left a huge impression on me. In Latvia, I spent a few weeks in Riga and Liepaja.

I will admit that prior to arriving, I was worried, especially with the state of my mental health at the time. Quite a few people warned me about people being rude, the bland food and terrible weather. But boy, were they wrong! Everyone I met or spoke to was real and unpretentious. People weren’t trying hard to be warm or friendly, but they were naturally kind and civic minded. I felt strangely comfortable - I hung out with a guy on a bus who offered me vodka and apples, I laughed with a woman who worked at a Rimi because my scarf got caught in the self pay machine, I had a conversation with a middle-aged man who was homeless who wanted to know all about where I came from - just a few of the truly human encounters I had.

I come from a busy city and nobody seems to have time to do the things they love. In beautiful Liepaja, I saw the kind of life I aspire to have. Everyday, starting at about 3pm, parents would take their kids and dogs to the park or the beach. Families were walking hand in hand, laughing and playing. People went fishing or foraging for mushrooms on a Tuesday afternoon! I felt time stop, and I was in awe. I had locals tell me about the state of the economy, the strikingly low wages and the shrinking population - a lot of what they said resonated with me. Which is why it moved me so much when people still carved time out for their families and themselves.

I mostly ate local food, and service was lovely EVERYWHERE. The food was fresh and delicious. The food had simpler flavours than what I’m used to, but it was a welcome change. I came back home craving the simple, clean flavours of Latvia.

In Liepaja, I was stared at a lot, mostly because at most times, I was the only non-white person in a 10 km radius. They stared as politely as they could, except for a few children who looked obviously confused. I was always happy to oblige any questions about where I was from and it seemed that most people were just happy to practice some English with someone else.

One evening, I had a beer on the beach to watch the sunset. I just broke down. It felt like I had been holding my breath for so long, and I could finally take a breath. Being in Latvia allowed me to see a different way of life that I didn’t think I wanted - an authentic calmness, an honest reality rooted in a painful history and a hopeful future, and a reverence for nature and personal priorities. I know that I only spent such a short time in the country, and I may be generalising things - but I will always cherish my time in Latvia.

All in all - I fell in love with Latvia. Thank you and I can’t wait to come visit again!

Vai Rīgā ir, kāds meksikāņu restorāns, kur var nobaudīt slaveno "Chili con carne"? Un kur vispār Rīgā var nobaudīt labāko meksikāņu ēdienu?

Tā kā tuvojas valsts svētki, manu draugu starpā izcēlās diskusija par to, kas tad ir patriotisms Latvijā.
Vairums no mūsu draugu kopas ir ilglaicīgi dzīvojuši ārzemēs. Tāpēc, jūtas par dzimteni un patriotisms mums ir īpaši aktuāli.

Viens viedoklis mūsu draugu lokā ir, ka patriotisms izpaužas tradīciju piekopšanā, svētku svinēšanā, atceres dienu pasākumu apmeklēšana, dejošanā, tautas dziesmu dziedāšanā, gramatikas piekopšanā, valodas piekopšanā, karogu piestiprināšana mašīnas, fanošana par hokeju un citiem sporta veidiem. Šim viedoklim es pats nepiekrītu, bet nu katram ir sava taisnība.

Otrs viedoklis ir, ka cilvēkam ir nepieciešams aktīvi piedalīties sabiedriskajā dzīvē, piketos, svinēšanā, talkās, zemessardzē, VAD, vēlēšanās, politiskajā dzīvē.

Trešais viedoklis ir, ka vienīgais veids, kā kaut ko labu izdarīt, ir iet politikā un darīt kaut ko labu. Vai arī, vismaz balsot par "labiem" kandidātiem, nevis tiem, kas "sēž uz zog".

Mans viedoklis gan ir tāds, ka nevienai ideju kopai nav pilnīga taisnība.

Taču vēlos saprast, ko domā vairums cilvēku. Tāpēc, uzdodu šo jautājumu Jums.
Kas, Jūsuprāt ,ir patriotisms?

Hi!

I am currently watching the third part of the film series Escape plan. The third part takes place in a prison in Latvia.

https://preview.redd.it/j6ppq2ylfbyd1.png?width=3360&format=png&auto=webp&s=d3b08a8a9c305af3944dd7bd67f1ceaa15c9b3b6

Coincidentally, I am currently in Riga.

Is there such a place here, or did the American screenwriters make it up?

Thank you!

I'm an early 30s Canadian male and will be visiting Latvia and Lithuania during for Christmas and the New Year.

Just wondering where has better nightlife scene for bars and clubs to celebrate the New Year?

Thanks!

I’m looking for a traditional very woolly shearling jacket in Riga and was wondering if there were any stores that sold them. I went to the large market today but didn’t have any luck

Visiting Latvia next week with 8 of my friends. We are all 40+ males, married and have kids so we don’t plan on getting too crazy. What are nice places to eat, drink, dance and what are some fun and cultural activities we must put on our list. What are places to absolutely avoid?

Eager to learn from your local experience!

Labdien, Ar rudens noskaņu atnāca arī vēlme pagaršot kaut kādus interesantus ēdienus no ķirbja 🎃, mēģināju sameklēt kaut ko internetā, bet tālākais , kur es tiku bija ķirbju krēmzupa. Varbūt kāds zin kādu restorānu ar vairākiem ķirbja ēdieniem? Paldies uzreiz!

Sveiki,

Es esmu pavisam jauns Latvijā, un es cenšos sagatavoties ziemai. Es atradu The North Face jaku, kas, manuprāt, ir piemērota ziemai, Sportland veikalā. Tā cena ir 350€. Vakar es atradu to pašu jaku zalando.lv par 90€ lētāk. Vai kāds iepriekš ir kaut ko iegādājies no šīs vietnes? Es zinu, ka zalando.com ir ļoti populārs Eiropā, bet par zalando.lv neesmu pārliecināts.

Hello guys,

I am really newby in Latvia and I am trying to be prepared for winter. I found a The north face jacket which I think it is good for winter in the Sportland. It has 350€ price. Yesterday I found same jacket in zalando.lv 90€ less priced. Is someone bought something before from there? I know zalando.com is really popular on Europe but I couldn’t be sure about zalando.lv

Vai kādam ir bijusi līdzīga pieredze ar atgriezto maksājumu?

Atgriezu preci Zalando, un viņi it kā pārskaitīja naudu (206,95€) atpakaļ 27. oktobrī. Manā bankas izrakstā summa parādās, bet konta bilancē nauda faktiski nav ienākusi. Vai kādam ir bijusi līdzīga situācija ar Swedbank vai citu banku?

Ko darīt tālāk?
