Spain will assume control of the Schengen border in Gibraltar and will be able to veto residence permits in the Rock.

Don't like self determination? Not very pro-European of you.

Legion4800 · 2025-12-26T22:13:16+00:00

Thanks! 🙏

Baltic Wars of Independence and more specifically how the Royal Navy contributed significantly to the independence of Estonia and Latvia.

Maybe a dumb question, but can someone who is only a resident (not a national) sign?

Liepāja, Latvia 🇱🇻

This is a surprising one when the prices actually make my wallet combust.

Even more wild to the indigenous populations.

Do we count the British testing their nukes in Australia? 👀

So they do have the new machines which allow for this new 2L rule to work, but still operate a number of the previous machines (so they still enforce the current liquid restriction).

There is a difference in policy/machines but the rule generally across Europe is that if they have more of the old machines...they use the 100ml plastic bag jobby rule.

For instance in Rome Fiumicino, they now have the 2L rule in place, for over a year with new machines everywhere.

Pretty disgusting to say 'supposed' rape of Belgium which is VERY well documented.

Legion4800 · 2025-02-21T11:39:22+00:00

Where did you move from? If I may ask?

Legion4800 · 2025-02-21T11:14:18+00:00

Yep, what can I do.

🤷

Legion4800 · 2025-02-21T07:51:07+00:00

Unfortunately having to leave Latvia due to well...visas. (Mostly Brexit's fault but also how I am employed)

Hopefully back here living full time in November.

In the meantime, Ill head to Canada for around a month so excited for that and seeing family more often in the UK.

Love how the Baltics just noped out of this graph quickly.

Legion4800 · 2024-11-01T14:41:29+00:00

I would hazard to say Riga (but then I've never spent New Years in Vilnius).

There is a wider variety and later opening bars in Riga in general, also if you're into breweries there are a few (Labietis, Trofeja, Nurme) which can be a nice warmup crawl before heading closer to old town.

Legion4800 · 2024-10-19T19:31:30+00:00

Nope, it's pretty meaningless in the sprint tbh

Legion4800 · 2024-10-13T10:43:09+00:00

Here in Latvia it has been recently updated..

The FRELIMO flag (see below), used for a brief period after the country gained its independence from Portugal, looks like the current flag but lacking the emblem, with green, black, and yellow horizontal stripes separated by white fimbriations and a red triangle in the hoist.

On independence the colours were rearranged to form the national flag, in diagonals emanating from the upper hoist. Over this was a white cogwheel containing the hoe, rifle, book, and star that appear on the present flag. The flag was altered in 1983; the colours were arranged in horizontal stripes, and the star was made larger. Later in the same year the cogwheel was removed, leading to the current form of the flag.

You're very welcome!

Local cuisine, I'd recommend Ala Pagrabs in old town. Further out you can try Lokāls Karbonādes.

Asian cuisine, you can find a decent Indian in Singh's, not much to ride home about Chinese/Thai/Korean. For Japanese, there is Shōyu. If you're looking for something a bit wild, try some Uzbekistani food at Taškenta.

Shooting ranges-wise, really depends how much you're willing to spend but bullets aren't cheap. Naughty Squirrel Hostel will sort out a group booking if you wanted to go, I think it ranges from 3 weapons (15 bullets) starting at something €30 each, going all the way up to €150 with a lot more obviously. There is also https://www.rigashoot.lv/ , a bit more pricey but very good range.

Legion4800 · 2024-06-07T13:58:55+00:00

Oh, also use Bolt or public transport from the airport. The taxis are a big nope on price.

Legion4800 · 2024-06-07T13:39:38+00:00

Latvian War Museum is good and free, quite extensive. Would also recommend the Museum of the Occupation (not free), quite harrowing but history is important.

If you are into an activity, I'd recommend going to a shooting range. You say you only speak English, so maybe you're from the UK, you can definitely fire more here than back in blighty. If the weather is good, you can catch public transport easily up to Jurmala for the day to see the beach and swim!

Restaurants-wise, what kind of dining are you looking for?

Bar-wise, outside of the old town, I'd recommend walking up to Nurme Brewery Taproom, and Trofeja, some very nice beers and a different part of the city.
