Good morning to everyone! So the New Year 2010 has started. I wonder what will it bring to us? I would like to start this year with beautiful pictures made by my sister. Photos of Latvian city, Daugavpils. My city! My sister sees beauty everywhere. (Click this link to see her collection of pictures)
There are many readers who come on my blog to get more information about indians/sikhs in Latvia. As I don't live in LV at the moment, I know very nice blog about Riga (capital of Latvia) in English with a lot of pictures. Go to Riga.in If you have any question about Latvia, leave your comment and I will answer.
All the best!

Happy Diwali from Gori Sikh!
Happy Diwali 2009 to all my readers and fellow bloggers! Last year I saw my first Diwali in India and it was crazy. The sky was white at the night from fireworks and local area was like New Year's Eve in Latvia. Beautiful! Golden Temple in Amritsar was unbelievable beatiful place to be (that year sikhs celebrated the release from prison of the sixth guru, Guru Hargobind Ji). I wish I was there with my Indian family!Thursday, June 12, 2008
Indians travelling to Latvia
I'm very humbled to read the following news from economictimes.indiatimes.com
"Your holiday in Bali or Venice this summer is no longer hip — your neighbour may have beaten you by many miles with a rather exotic, out-of-the-box locale. Where’s he going — Kazakhstan, Estonia, Latvia or Marrakech, Fez, Meknes, Cappadocia, Pamukkale or Kusadasi?"
I'm from Latvia and very happy to hear news like this. Latvia is the country which was closed for tourists till 1991. When we got independence, we were allowed to travel and others we able to come here.
Now it's 2008 and Latvia has changed a lot (I mean in a good sense). If you are planning to travel to Latvia, that's great. You will probably fly to Riga, the capital of Latvia. Many people, especially younger generations speak English, so you won't have problem. I suggest you to spend your time in Old Riga (Vecriga). Old Riga is beautiful medieval city in the city center. There are many cafes and restaurants. As well there are many different city tours: walking or bus tour. I took my jaan on one of them. Really nice!
Food: go to Lido! Very nice atmosphere and very good selection of food.
Seaside: If it's summer go to Jurmala! It's seaside resort which goes for 40 km. Don't expect crazy Spain-like resort. It's very peaceful and quiet.
