  • Riga Central Market, Europe's Largest Indoor Market | The full experience
    Join me on the second part of this amazing experience around Europe's largest indoor market, Riga Central Market, as we talk to the locals, shop for soviet foods and and chat with Soviet babushkas.
    Find out from the locals what living in Riga is like and how old age pensioners need to work all week in their retirement!
    On this journey around Riga Central Market, we break down the cold Eastern European fronts people have and get talking to the locals about their lives, their work, and anything they like.
    Anyone wanting an authentic taste of the Soviet Union, then Riga Central Market is the place.
    If you enjoy adventure videos in the former Soviet Union, then grab your Vodka, some Zakuskas and join me on this trip to Riga Central Market in the former Soviet Republic of Latvia!!!

    If you are now living in Latvia, why aren't you learning to speak Latvian? It seems like you are quite eager to speak Russian to everybody. It's commendable that you are so proficient in Russian, but the native Latvians would appreciate an attempt to speak in their own language, not the language of the former occupiers! Sorry, if this offends you, but it would be nice to give the impression that this is Latvia, not Russia!

      Hello and thank you for your comment.
      I hope you realise that this is not all of my life I put on camera but only a tiny portion!!!
      Having made that clear, let me try and explain.
      1. I don't think at any point of the Video or any video have I ever said I was not learning Latvian. As a matter of fact I am even though I realize that one day when I no longer live in Latvia it will probably serve me more as a novelty language than one I would use regularly.
      2. I am confident that the people that watch my videos want to get some local interaction and unfortunately at the present time I am only able to do that in about six languages and Latvian is not yet one of them, but we are working on changing that!!!
      3. Practicing my limited knowledge of Latvian on camera would not make for much educational or entertaining content.
      4. I certainly did not take any offense by your comment and I hope you understand that I mean no offense when I speak Russian because to me it is an amazing, rich language that I love to practice with no historical or political motive.
      I hope this may shed some light on your concerns.
      All the best!
