When I announced that I was moving to Latvia, most people asked about the relations with Russia. With the events in the Ukraine and what happened in Crimea, it's a fair question.
I've asked a few Latvians at school about their opinions, concerns, thoughts, but their general answer is that 'Latvians are proud to be Latvian.' They love their traditions. They treasure their language. They value their past and they are happy with where they are now and the continued growth of the country.
Riga is the current city of culture, but this weekend most of the festivities were surrounding the 25th anniversary of The Baltic Way. For more information on it check out these sites...

They explain the amazing historical event far better than I could.
