Latvia trip!

"Things and stuff, stuff and things, stuff those things into stuff that have things."

My Latvia trip was really relaxing, I mostly hung out with Fighter (and his friends), walked until my feet were hurting too much and slept. I arrived on Friday and one of the first things I did was sleeping. It was funny I sleepy I was when I arrived even though the flight wasn't so long.

Fighter said that it was funny to see my facial impressions in the bus. I was so enthusiastic about
everything I saw. Every building were unique, so beautiful. Old and new next to each others. Too bad I forget to took photos of them. My English was little bit rusty on Friday, but slowly I started to remember how to talk. 
Friday evening we went to play pool and meet Fighters friends. It was awesome! It was so nice to play with people who are actually at the same level with me. I won three times and I can't remember ever winning before this! Our games took quite long time, because well, sometimes neither of the players managed to pocket.. 
That pool place was awesome! It was huge building with many pool tables, arcade games, bowling and bar. When we went there, I had a feeling that I have arrived to 80's. Everything was so colourful and bright. 

On Saturday we walked way too much. We met awesome people from Sicily, damn - I have missed those so much. We went to see TV-tower and of course we went up to see how Riga looks from above. There were guide, who didn't speak English that well, but luckily Fighter and other translated things to me. 
Then we visit the zoo, of course. It was funny to go there and see different kinds of animals. But those animals looked so sad. Giraffes were walking around in small area, lamas seemed little bit angry, the poor wolf was running around. It has to be really scary for them, when people are staring at them and taking photos. It's not life for wild animal. But I know that they wouldn't survive alive if let free. They have got used to people and feeding. 

After zoo we went to church. Yes, I went to church.Voluntarily. But there was good reason to do that. One of Fighter's friend was singing there, so we went there to listen him. He was awesome! But I have to admit that I almost fell asleep during the show. It was really hard to stay awake when they were singing songs that are obviously ment for sleeping! And I went there to see Fighter's friend, the other parts weren't meaningful to me. It was really beautiful show and I think it was really good that I didn't understand anything they said. 

We went to eat at Lido and that place was awesome! You could choose what ever you want to eat, there were different kind of potatoes, rice, meat, vegetables, grilled stuff, salads, desserts, drinks.. If you ever go to Riga, I recommend to check that place out.
After eating we walked little bit more and saw some parts of old town, but because walking so much, my feet started to hurt like hell and we decided to go finally go home and watch a movie.

Sunday and monday were lazy days. I slept quite much, bought candy and didn't actually do anything productive. But I enjoyed it. It was nice to spent time just with Fighter, talk and of course watch some Cartoon Network. I was feeling little bit sick, so it was good to slow down.

In summary, Latvia was awesome and quite different than home. I didn't party, I was sober almost whole trip. I slept better than in weeks and it did good for me. I met awesome people, even went to church because of them. Spent time with Fighter and that's the most important thing - Fighter was the reason why I went to Latvia. Photos later! ^^

Love,
Ambivalent
