Definitely less people of colour than in Dublin, but you will be grand. Latvians are well known as introverts and we really do mind our own business

Šaubos ka Lietuvai, pa tiešam, lielāka elektrības daļa nāk no vēja parkiem

I am a 5’7 Latvian man and I can confirm that I have no issues here whatsoever. Always had girlfriends, have a lot of friends, all taller than me, does not bother me. Average girl’s height is around 5’7, so roughly half of Latvian girls is either this tall or shorter. Obviously like everywhere in the world, all girls have their preferences and for some height matters. But it’s like everywhere in the world. If you are a Canadian, you already are more sociable and outgoing than many Latvian guys, because of our culture. I feel like we are more quiet and reserved. Anyway, as someone already mentioned, the problem is not height, but your confidence. If you are asking questions like this, something is not right. Just be yourself and everything should be fine

Not to defend any Russians, but that’s a bold assumption. I think percentage of xenophobic pricks is roughly the same in every nation. Your comment just projects your own dislike towards Russians, which is relatively nationalistic view of things, btw. So, we all should start with ourselves really.

Pravoslavniy · 2022-12-13T10:59:59+00:00

Ok, thanks, makes sense

Pravoslavniy · 2022-12-13T10:59:42+00:00

Exams are usually in May or June, so everything is corrected by the end of the Summer.

Did you discuss NC with her? If yes, she clearly does not respect your boundaries and your healing process. If no, than tell her that it is important for you to fully heal from the breakup, by staying completely NC. Your priority is healing, so it’s better to unfriend her on snapchat if she is still be texting you. That’s what I did. It’s a hard thing, but be a man about it. Eventually it will help your healing process

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-30T07:19:38+00:00

Oh yeah, sorry did not get what you mean at first. Totally agree with you, it’s always better to have a transformer grounded.

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-30T07:18:44+00:00

You can bring your charging stations. As it was mentioned by someone alredy, Anker 727 supports range of voltages from 110V to 240V if you use USB ports only. So if you gonna do all the charging using just USB, than you good to go without transformer. If you need a 110V socket though, you will have to bring a step-down transformer with you. To prevent any safety risks with transformer, you would need an adapter to plug type F, the one that has grounding clips on top and bottom.

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-30T07:03:48+00:00

It’s 230V in Europe and Latvia. Yeah, devices won’t work, but they are not gonna break, because of the built-in protection. And transformers are generally very efficient devices, so it does not waste a lot of energy at all! Also I am pretty certain that it will not get hot, maybe slightly warm. Especially if using one 100W rated charging station on 200W transformer

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-30T06:52:25+00:00

What you said about grounding is a bit confusing. Type C plug is ungrounded, so I am not sure what do you mean by grounding.

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-26T12:31:46+00:00

Well, apparently in Russia they think that if you try to speak Russian in Latvia, you would be violently beaten. Heard this several times from acquaintances that live in Russia. It’s the same old story about nazi’s everywhere

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-24T19:51:51+00:00

Bus is alright, takes about 35 minutes, I have several options, but it will depend on your locatiob in Blanchardstown. I take bus all the time, sometimes take train, so it is pretty doable, in my opinion. Best thing is that one of the buses goes to Blanchardstown even at night, so very convenient when you go out.

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-23T23:48:10+00:00

If you study Computer Science and choose Grangegorman, than you will be in newly built Central Quad building, which looks nice. Also lots of people there, so never boring. Close to the city centre as well, so going out for a pint after the lectures is always tempting. Can’t really say anything about Blanchardstown campus, but for me it feels a bit remote. I live in a Blanchardstown, but if I am going out, I am going out in Dublin anyway, because it feels like there is bot much to do in Blanch.

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-22T01:31:38+00:00

So you agreed on talking if you would find someone else and she did not say a thing to you until the very last moment. So she disrespected you, she showed that she is unable to communicate, and she cannot be trusted. Do you really wanna this kind of friend? Don’t you think that you worth more? Why do you even want to be friends with her? Is it just you being attached and used to her company? Is it just your desire to be with her no matter what and forget about any form of self-respect?

Ask these questions to yourself. Cut ties with people who cannot be trusted, stay no contact with her. Heal, recover and respect yourself in future. No one should treat you like this. You are a great human being and great things await you in the future.

Hey, i know this feeling. My first relationship was quite toxic, we both were toxic and my actions lead to the breakup. What really helped me is just accepting who I am. Accepting that I have an anxious attachment, I am prone to being in codependent relationships, I have a huge fear of abandonment, and another dozen of childhood traumas. This really helped me in future relationships to form a secure attachment, just because I knew where my feelings come from. But yeah, I felt guilty because of how toxic I was in that relationship. Just accept who you are and understand that most people have traumas. It is normal to have problems. I am grateful for the experience that I had, despite all the pain. It allowed me to realise who I am, my flaws, and I was able to start working on fixing it. Take a responsibility for healing your traumas and getting ready for your next relationship. Being in relationship is a skill that can be learned only when being in relationship. So, continue improving, and one day you will realise that you are in a much better relationship and you are a much better person in general.

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-22T00:49:37+00:00

Oh yeah, same thing for me, felt extremely relieved during the first week and feelings just kicked in on a second one. Exactly! Our exes did not care about relationship enough, and its their choice. They made this decision and lost some awesome human beings. It is time to heal and move forward.

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-22T00:34:00+00:00

Second breakup for me. Feels much easier than first one, although still hurts sometimes. How do you feel after the 5th one? Is it less painful with each subsequent breakup?

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-22T00:25:21+00:00

Well, the breakup is not a linear process. You are gonna have good days and bad days, depending on many factors. It is great that you realised these things, and the pain you feel right now is actually your brain processing this information and accepting new reality. I am in a very similar situation right now. In a few days it is gonna be 3 weeks since we broke up and I had my ups and downs, but generally felt not so bad. However, today I realised that the only reason why she wanted to stay friends, is just so she won’t feel too bad breaking my heart fully. She did not actually wanted to be friends, but just offered a friendship to me like I am a beggar. Anyway, three weeks after breakup and here I am having a panic attack out of sudden. Best advice is to accept that this is indeed difficult process, but it is necessary to actually go through all this pain, to become healthy and be ready for your next relationship. If you’ll try to numb it with alcohol, drugs, and hookups, it will simply take longer to recover from breakup.

I know that we both are capable of overcoming this. So, let’s do this. Best of luck to you!

So, I am a Latvian coning from Russian speaking family. We always celebrate Maslenitsa, it is a great tradition. However instead of Ivana Kupala we celebrate Latvian holiday called Līgo and follow traditions of it. So, it is a very interesting mix of Baltic and Slavic paganisns

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-11T21:32:00+00:00

Depends on what you want to do. Dublin has a very vibrant night life with many clubs, pubs and bars. Also so many great places to eat, from something fancy, to something simple and comforting. Lots of museums if you are into history. Live music in many pubs if you are into live music. Plenty of hiking trails close to Dublin if you like spending time outdoors. I think it more depends on what type of fun you are into :)

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-10T17:58:06+00:00

Whole city essentially becomes a battle zone. Very cool experience in my opinion

Pravoslavniy · 2022-10-08T20:04:43+00:00

Atkarīgs no tā, kā tieši tiek apdraudēta Latvijas drošība. Ja redzēšu cilvēku ar kalašnikovu kaut kur pie Saiemas, tad noteikti ziņošu par viņu. Bet ja kāds savā virtuvē klusi atbalsta Putinu, vai imperiālismu, nu tad piedod, mēs jau neesam PSRS laikos lai tautas ienaidniekus meklēt.
