What a beautiful conversation with Marita.. A honest, sincere, conversation. You made her day and I think she made your day as well!

[@J.E.E]

Always good when it is a win win situation

[@Crazydragonman]

Very nice you can see how genuine and friendly the people are back to their roots something you hardly find nowadays in most European countries,they like all that is made natural and home grown.

Hi Justin. My name is Reidar and I come from Norway. Just wanted to thank you for the inspiring Videos from Riga. Will be yours for the 3rd time at the end of April beginning of May for 7 days. I have used your Videos as an appetizer for the trip. Best to you Reidar😃

[@andrebarberis3244]

Every video you produce is incredibly interesting, a pleasure to watch and you interact so easy with everyone you come in contact with. I am totally addicted to your channel.

[@TomLafford]

Oh my word, that shot was huge!

[@J.E.E]

But soooo good... Especially with the cabbage 😂👍

[@IMashabear]

I thought u meant the shot with thr lady 😂

[@J.E.E]

That's so funny! You caught on there😉

[@itsmalkamusic]

What a cool place!!! 😍😍 another great video

[@J.E.E]

It really is a great place. Thanks😘👍

[@kasparssersnevs1707]

I am Latvian living in UK and I love your videos, you are doing a brilliant job mate💪👍👊

[@DukeRevolution]

My mouth was watering through the whole video. What a lovely place!

[@J.E.E]

Hello Duke... If you ever get a chance, hop over here and experience these culinary delights 👍👌

[@DukeRevolution]

@@J.E.E - planning on it! Even considering Riga as a retirement destination.

[@SuperWilliamholmes]

I used to think of Latvia and Riga as a depressed and poor place. Like old Soviet empty shelves and no selection of foods or goods. The abundance of artisan foods and delicious looking things was surprising.

[@J.E.E]

Hello, I am happy you managed to get a different perspective through the video👍👍👍 Thank you so much for watching and commenting 👌👍

[@maggg.a]

People still depressed with xenophobic views even about their neighbours!

[@gumarasw]

Just got back from Riga few days ago, seriously my weekend getaway every so often from now on. Loved that place!

[@J.E.E]

Hi Gumara, I couldn't agree with you more. Stay tuned for more Riga videos. Thank you so much for watching👍👌

[@gumarasw]

@@J.E.E It was my first time in that side of the world and totally enjoyed it. Can't wait to see the place in winter in a few months though I know my tropical Taiwan arse will not be used to the cold. I heard it's a different cold than here in Ireland and can see you walking around just fine in the market. 😆 Really enjoy your videos, for me it's always the people no matter how beautiful the place is. Thanks for your videos that make this reality a more interesting place. Keep it up 😉👍

[@J.E.E]

Hi Gumara... You are gonna love it in the winter, it is so beautiful and avreal experience. Sorry for my late response as I missed this message👃. I agree with you completely, the people make the place. Be sure to message me when you're in town, we could go and meet some locals together👍👍👍 I am happy you enjoy and value the content Keep in touch Instagram: Justin Eastern_Europe

[@kw2142]

Amazing video, can't wait for part 2

[@J.E.E]

Thank you for watching... Just uploaded part 2. I hope you enjoy it!

[@kooloneism]

Interesting facts

[@J.E.E]

Hi Mickey, Bulgaria has a very interesting history... only scratched the surface there. Thank you for watching and commenting👍👌

[@pewpewTN]

I've always loved Eastern Europe. One of the most interesting regions on Earth.

[@Jezze-rc6yv]

Good video.. thank you.. I want to visit

[@J.E.E]

You should my friend it is a fantastic country👌let me know when you do...

[@apostolosgeorgoulopoulos9909]

Fine, relaxed vid. Love it. Do go on like that.👍

[@J.E.E]

Hello my friend and once again thank you so much for watching... I appreciate it. Also I thank you for the feedback, as a new KZbinr I am learning fast, but the most important part is learning from the audience, so feedback highly appreciated👍👍👍

[@jarsongustavovalverdemiran6900]

I like your videos Justin, now I am at the University and when I finish I will travel to Latvia; I would love for you to upload more content from Latvia, especially from the girls haha, kind regards, thank you!

[@J.E.E]

Hi Jarson and thank you for watching. I am happy you enjoyed it and I appreciate the support. More Riga to come shortly. All the best

[@jose-duarte9701]

The way this market has changed in 25 years is unbelievable. In April 1996 to give you an idea, in the meat and cheese sections there were only a couple of fridges...

[@J.E.E]

That is so fascinating... Must be strange for you to watch!

[@AliceM9]

I love Amber. Another great video.

[@J.E.E]

Thank you👍

[@RandomDave]

Nice video mate, some great engagement with the locals too. How long have you been speaking Russian? Good job 👏

[@J.E.E]

Thank you Dave... I love interacting with the locals, they are so much fun and so different at times. It's been a good few years regarding the Russian, but still an ongoing process. I see you handle yourself well in Russian, considering you also have the Anglo-Saxon curse to foreign languages. Although I feel like I have broken that myth as I speak many languages with Russian being my weakest at the moment.

[@joseo.5721]

Thanks again Sir, due to this covid 19 thing and me refusing the vaccine only 3 countries are open, brazil, colombia and Mexico therefore if I want to see Europe and have to do it thru your lense, thanks again, GREAT video !

[@J.E.E]

Hi Jose and thank you for watching once again. Unfortunately we all found ourselves with restrictions to Travel, And it is unfortunate that this is preventing you from enjoying your journey. I am happy that you find this channel helpful in dealing with the current situation, but I am sure one day soon we will all be back on our travels. If you could what would you want to travel to?

[@ArjenDijksman]

Interesting vlog. Indoor market of the Soviet Union are treasures. Why did Riga have the biggest of all?

[@J.E.E]

Thank you for the positive comment... It is very puzzling as Latvia is one of the smallest countries too, less than 2 million population. But a fascinating place where you really feel you have gone back in time. Thanks again for watching 👌👍

[@eltenda]

Very interesting!

[@J.E.E]

Thanks

[@bartomiejsacha5833]

This woman from 4:30 is so happy that you did not turn out to be Pole, very interesting... anyway cheers from Tarnów Justin, great content keep it up :D

[@J.E.E]

Hi Bartlomej... Not sure if she was happy that I wasn't pole or excited that I was from England!!! Either way I was in Poland not too long ago and can honestly say I was super impressed with the cities I visited but most of all with the people. Let's just hope she was excited I was English!!! I had meetings in Tarnow the day I recorded Gdynia and did my test to return home near there. I drove through some amazing forests with amazing landscapes with lakes. I loved it. Thank you for watching and for commenting👌👍

[@maggg.a]

Shame about her xenophobic views both about Poles and Cygan(s) as she described Roma people. Love her phrase "no your face is intelligent so you don't look like any of them! Only in Latvia!

[@marutakelers1856]

I'm wondering if you've tried the piragi there. For Latvians in America, it's the quintissential Latvian food.

[@J.E.E]

Hi Marita, Oh yes I have. There is a little bakery near my apartment that only sells pirogi... And it has become Sunday breakfast tradition. These particular ones are amazing!!!

[@noelalejandro1161]

Great video Justin, how good would you say is the English proficiency among Latvians?

[@J.E.E]

Hi Noel, with the 30s and under it is very good, the older than 30s can communicate but less so, and 40s and up much easier to talk to them in Russian. Thanks for watching👍

[@cbrown9555]

Your a wild man

[@J.E.E]

Always!!!👍

[@markrhodes8303]

Hey Justin 🏠☕ from los Angeles California 🤩

[@J.E.E]

Greetings from Riga!

[@Pidalin]

I was in Latvia in 2018, it was nice vacation, but I was very confused by that everyone spoke Russian to me, I expected more Latvian speakers there.

[@J.E.E]

Just like Ukraine the capital Riga is very Russian and it gets even more so in the east of the country. For obvious reasons this causes quite some separation in the country🤔

[@Pidalin]

@@J.E.E Yeah, I know. I didn't mean I don't like Russian speakers or something like that, I was just trying to learn at least some phrases in Latvian and I was disapointed that most of people I met spoke Russian.

[@martuni6469]

Давно не виделись!👋

[@J.E.E]

да ... к сожалению, я был на карантине, но я снова свободен. в планах сделать больше видео сейчас !!! 👌👍

[@martuni6469]

@@J.E.E Ждём с нетерпением!👍

[@martinkrievs6394]

You should explain why you are speaking Russian in Latvia. I know, but for the benefit of those who may not.

[@J.E.E]

Hi Martin, Thank you for the tip and I will slip it in on a future video. Thank you for watching mate!

[@sirarungasal3732]

and this guy speak russian as well xD what the... subs already

[@oliverbaccu7419]

RIGA IS TE MOST BORING CITY

[@J.E.E]

It usually has very little to do with the city
