seriously speaking, it's a decent european vacation destination if you are a reasonably young person checking off "been in that eu place" boxes off your list. culture, both modern and historical, is slightly lacking - you could probably tour every reasonably worthy culturohistorical object in the country in under a week, but if you want to hang out or whatever the riga is pretty swell - there's airport, very cheap alcohol/drugs/prostitutes, and it's reasonably modern and safe, provided that you do not make dumb nightlife or transportation decisions. if i wanted to catch a quick break i'd also go somewhere like poland or balkans (since ive been a plenty to all baltic capitals) - reasonably close, legislatively similar, and budget friendly

heck, ive even seen german tourists in my bumfuckistan hometown, but those are usually folks who cycle around eu border or something

not necessarily, but this essentially sums it up

countries with large political/economical/demographical variance - like russia with all elite of anything concentrated in 2 cities, or latvia with 50% population in a single city, will have noticeable difference between rural and metropolitan prices as well. movie ticket in riga is like $12 or $15 or something like that, and some $4 or so in my hometown near russian border

but yeah generally speaking, for an eu citizen latvia is one the cheaper and less antagonistic travel destinations that require no visa hassle, as we are a small remote swamp not interacting with the outside world, which is benefit compared to places like poland that many layman in larger western european countries passionately hate

The poll found that 54% of Americans consider torture “wrong”, a lower proportion than in any other population save for those of Israel and Palestine. Only 44% of Israelis and only 35% of Palestinians considered torture to be wrong.

Absolute opposition to torture was recorded by 100% of Yemeni respondents, 73% of Syrians, 68% of Iraqis, 80% of Ukrainians, and 58% of South Sudanese.
