'the food issue'

Ieeja - Izeja

...were the first two words i learned in Latvia. Today we went walking around Riga, spent most of the money on 'souvenirs', stalked some newlyweds and found two amazing Topshop equivalents. I am surprised by the amount of beautiful people and shoes in this country! Not to mention the shoes! And the shoes! Good that i dont have the money, its not healthy to feed addictions...
Lessons learned: When in Latvia, find sweets, amber jewellery*, alcohol*, shoes, a spouse** and warm woolen socks.

* optional
** if applicable and available

 

Newlyweds put locks on bridges fences for luck. A lot are taken off later...
