Riga, Latvia!

Weeelll So i'm back in Latvia again, working at the Baltic Times and teaching english, among other things. As its been one week, i've already lost like 7 pounds eating nothing but sausage, dairy products and fried potatos. It's really quite heavenly.
Last night I saw a production of Lolita in Latvian, and can now understand why many in Latvia chose not to do drugs. Watching the play was much like an acid trip. IN a good way. In a way that included live sheep walking out of closests with indians in very small loin clothes..in LOLITA. I'm not sure Nabokov would approve.
All in all its good to be back in the land of relatively unsmiling people (save for the few that are very smiley and totally awesome), Fried delicious foods, and a work ethic that rivals france.
