So, we again in Riga. One of Russian areas of city. Russian of Latvia the spirit of business is not alien. It would seem, ground floors of apartment houses completely unsuitable for these purposes are transformed into workshops, hairdresser's, shops. Between them there is a severe competition. At times, in one house - two hairdressing saloons or two identical workshops

And we shall now be transferred on quay of Riga which so like to photograph for tourist booklets. Last time quay began to build up with shops of most primitive "architecture". For example, this "aquarium" has covered a kind on the most beautiful church of Riga - Гребенщиковскую Russian old believe church

To each member of a society - the cell!

And again we on village or as speak here, " in fields ", "лаукос". Corpulent, once, herds of cows (the sm section " Latvia 80 "), today have thinned. 4-5 cows in a field is already much. Usually it is one cow, and, that refers to " for itself ". If earlier Latvia was the largest in the USSR the provision dealer today the most part of products, on the contrary, is imported to Latvia. As a rule, it is 2-3 years(summer) prescription frozen meat from military warehouses of Germany at which the period of storage and genetically has left

The Latvian peasants expect, that after the introduction of Latvia into EU, that their fields will remain empty, the rich European countries will pay in him(it) money on which they and will live. And, while, survive who as can. Very much it is distributed, so-called, " rural tourism ". It when the visitors spoilt with a civilization from the West, come on any far Latvian farm forgotten among woods and bogs and enjoy "wildness("absurdity") of a local nature. " The Forgotten farm ", however, will be equipped, thus, satellite TV, and all kinds of communication(connection), including mobile and internet. In a picture: for planting a sunflower the plantation drug a poppy has hidden. It seems, it is well fertilized, separate poppy the head in size with a fist.
