travelling: Riga

…reminiscence

..the line between tourism and poverty is as thin as riga and latvia.

parks and old town, green and clean.

brits in the streets on their stag weekends between the hangover from last night and the next one.

restaurant tables where the outer row means no alcohol is served

bars, bars, clubs, adult entertainment

cheap exploitation of women on their search to find escape of average destiny

only cigarettes are cheap

good music only in orange bars and thus orange and empty

run-down spooky houses next to new-built hotels

daugava river overlapping the ocean smell

a city with an unexplainable affinity for the color pink

colorful trains with high-on-music ticket controls

12 degree ocean water that does not not feel cold …
