Whats your thoughts everyone... is Latvia the most depressing country in Europe? ...
She wasn't happy because you are putting your hands on the soft flesh of the watermelon. These people make minimum wage selling fresh produce. I live in Australia and also cringe at you clowning around a market like this.
Clowning around? Think you need to lighten up, and minimum wage? I don’t think so majority of them own those businesses and are actually very successful at what they do.
Most farmers you see in the stalls are local ones selling their produce, but I think she over exaggerated a little bit about him touching water melons. You obviously can't taste watermelons there, but for berries and other smaller produce, it is acceptable in many circumstances to "taste a sample" aka eat one berry to see if you want to get it. It is possible that the lady wasn't happy them touching the watermelons cause they looked foreign to them and a lot of times people are quite racist and nationalistic in Latvia. Not everyone, but a lot of them are.
@@YadVenturess its funny how you ignore that u pressing on watermelon flesh , i wouldd be pissed as well
@@tuff_radiator First of all, I don't see anything wrong with touching the watermelon, if you enjoy soft soggy watermelon you be you, and if it was not covered with clean film its the sellers fault. I have been to the market and checked its the same way myself. Some people just have no understanding and clearly you are one of them.
@@overlord5663 People from 3-rd world countries don't wash their hands often, specially indians and their deadly rivers
0:03 Foreigners thinking those russians are latvians xd. You need to realize russians are very different from latvians especially talking about language and anger issues.
There is certainly a big difference between Latvians and Russians.
Latvians do drink a lot more
Remember, when USSR occupied Latvia in 1940 , Russians take ower latvian houses and apartments, and sent them to Siberia, you was lucky if you have left to stay in one of room of your 4room apartment but in other 3 rooms was placed Russian families
Really tough times honestly!
Total lies! 🤡🤡🐷🐷🤡🤡

Good luck ))) You will lose your own culture as well, and get replaced by africans and indians as shown in the video
I come from Latvian parents. We came to USA after WWII. My parents had smoke house in back yard and we smoked fish and chicken and pork ribs. Yummy!
Sounds delicious!
I am from Latvia and it a great country to live winter is hard and very cold.
Absolutely the winters are challenging!
@@YadVenturess navernoje zit vsje leto ne vihodja iz doma ,s kondicionerom,ocen kruto.mi v latviji privikli bit na ulice i ,zanimātsja relaksom v luboje vremja goda! kak tākaja strāna mozet bit depressivnoi?
@@gracebutler7672 watching from scotland 🏴
The guy in glasses speaks better latvian than many local russians 👍
He speaks great Latvian!
primitive dead language, who cares
Don't touch the lady's mellons lads...
I understand her anger.
🤦♂️
++ Yeah, its pretty rude if you dont buy it...
Latvia 🇱🇻 is my favorite ❤️ country in the world! Latvia may not be country for everyone but it’s certainly happiest country for many other people who love Latvia.
Glad to hear that 🙏
When bridges and roads will be fixed?
something i could not get over throughout the video is the old soviet style background music. Its like having a video on black culture and have music from confederate slaveowner culture as a background.
Unfortunately it’s not possible to get Latvian music for TH-cam
@@YadVenturess hah, i can actually grant you that. Latvian content owners are quite strict with their property and almost nothing is royalty free.
zeppelin hangars - MARKET HANGARS are in 1920s in Latvian independence time not by soviets
Located in the center of Riga, opposite the Riga International Bus Station, near the Riga Railway Passenger Station.
Riga Central Market is the largest market in Latvia, which was once recognized as the best and most modern market in Europe. Its bright symbol is the 20th century. Market pavilions built in the 1920s and originally used for military purposes.
During World War I, the German army established Vaiņode Airport in Kurzeme, where several airships were permanently located. These were elongated-shaped balloons filled with gas and enclosed to carry passengers and cargo. Control was provided by an internal combustion or electric motor and a wing in the housing. The airships were intended for reconnaissance or for bombing an enemy, for example, by attacking a Russian army seaplane airfield on the island of Roņi. The hangars are known to be called Walhalla and Walther.
After the Latvian War of Independence, the hangars were dismantled and used to build the hangars of the Riga Central Market, planning to leave them in their original size. It was later decided to use only the upper parts of the hangars.
Today you can see the metal structures of the German army airship hangar. The market provides a pleasant way to learn about the origins of world aviation.
Thank you for sharing 🙏
Exploring Latvia through their food culture is the best way, birch juice and smoked chicken sound like a unique treat! Got a favorite local bite? 🍗🍹
Smoke chicken is the one :)
I don't think its a depressing country. Of course, you shouldn't compare it with the likes of Morocco as the culture and climate is very different, but trust me, based on European standards, Latvia seems least depressing, especially when you would compare it to Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Austria, etc. These are all countries with dead streets, cold people, bland cultures, and poor weather.
You make some great points! It’s certainly not in comparison to Morocco but just sharing my personal experience from staying in Latvia for a year 🙏
Have you been here though? I’m Latvian, and it’s pretty much exactly as you’ve described.
@@dacedaine822 tiešàm???😨
I am from Sēlija and quite far from Riga, we are happy, everyone can earn money, just don't be lazy. Poor and depressive people are who dreaming about Soviet times when the government brought everything on Brett, and didn't even need to think. No, no.. happy, open mind people are who look to West, #everythingisbad for people who are missing Easts.
Thank you for sharing
the market early was a zeppelin hangars
W Polsce mówimy: przez żołądek do serca ❣️Pozdrawiam wszystkich smakoszy! 🙋♀️
Thank you so much ❣
Guys, I am very sorry about your idea. It is a kind of Putin’s propaganda called “Back to USSR”. It is a kind of empire policy against small countries: Georgia, Ukraine, etc. They decided only one thing with Russia. Otherwise - depression.
Please, tell me why people from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Iraq try to come to Latvia every night illegally from Belarus.
I am from Latvia, and hearing Gokul talk about the birch juice, was the firs time I really thought of it :D Even though I have been drinking it a lot as a kid
Do you still drink it today or was it just when you were younger

Hey! Nice video! By the way, I am living in Latvia and could confirm that Latvia is not the most depressing country in Europe, at least in my personal opinion
Thanks for sharing
Great video I really enjoyed it and great co-hosts. Good job, looking forward to watch more videos from you :)
Thanks so much! 😊
At the end of the day not as depressing as it sounds !
🙏
well there are places that are defenetly depresing like imanta kengarags bolderaja sarkandaugava
I'm Latvian, currently living in Dubai, Latvia can definitely be depressing, the surroundings are not very motivating or inspiring, there's not much to do, it's small, but it's mainly just Latvian people's mindset of "it's all bad". If you want to you can live life to a high standard in Latvia. Personally, I'm excited to return back to Latvia in the next few years.
Very well said…it’s certainly the mindset of the older generation that gives it the depressing vibe. You will feel the difference when you return from Dubai..
Well just the same goes for Dubai where you are right now. Many avoid due to it being depressing and no good surroundings. At least rīga is full of old beautiful architecture, nice parks and so on which in fact are considered to be inspiring places by many. In any place. In general latvia has plenty of inspiring historical and natural places for inspiration. It seems that you cannot say the same for Dubai, I have not been there but that's what I have read from many. Many have no interest in visited Dubai and neither do I, that's the impression I get from the things I've seen about it, just not attractive
And I'm not exactly sure by what do you not much to do? What is it that you wanna do? What you wanna do may not be the same for someone else and they very well may be interested in other things. There are plenty of cultural, natural and historical things to do in latvia. Riga alone is full of all kinds of museums for example. Perhaps for someone who chose to live in Dubai the interests indeed may be quite a bit different. You can sometimes tell the values and interests of people by seeing in what kinds of places they choose to reside
Even Coca Cola group is making here Kvass ( under brand senču kvass ) because it goes better then cola..
Oh wow! They are literally trying to take over every drink… I much prefer a local brand
Senču kvass is cido not Coca Cola
To fully understand the situation in Latvia you would have to visit each county in Latvia. For example, Latgale is considered one of the poorest and underdeveloped regions in Europe. What i can say from my perspective is that too much of the available resources and developments are focused on Riga. The regions and provinces are forgotten for most of the time. Latvias main problem is the huge gap between rich and the poor... and that everything is centered in Rīga..
Thank you for sharing, I agree there is a big gap between the rich and the poor. I've visited most of the major cities in Latvia and I feel that Riga does have the most happening for obvious reasons being the capital city of the country.
@@psy-lion how is that underdevelopment evident in latgale? I have been there and it looks normal I mean like other parts of the country. Perhaps there is a lot of development happening there.
Gokul’s Latvian is getting so good!!! 👏👏👏
He is honestly soooo good at speaking Latvian 👏👏👏
@@YadVenturess Evan is super knowledgeable as well! Impressive!
Finland the most happiest country in the world? I'm going there soon to be depresses again 😂
Berch juice is better to be drinked while its fresh ( it will be transparent), taste is completely different then and way better.
I’ll have to try it !
Wonderful video. I guess, if you give a fair chance, I think there's no city, no country, could be that depressing.
I wish it was that simple Yasin! But unfortunately there are many factors that can contribute to it being depressing, such as local people and how they treat others which generally gives a depressing feel to being in a place.. if you know what I mean 🙏
@@YadVenturess Yes, I know what you meant, I'm just being a wishful thinking. I didn't know that my 3 years working and living in Mumbai could lead to a second depression when coming back to KL in 2012. After few sessions with a psychiatrist, I've realized I've already had a first depression in 1999 after leaving KLCC, and ended up without a steady income for 4 years, and then joining MIDA, a government agency, with a starting salary, less than a third from what I last earned in KLCC. Depression can come in many forms, and it does take away your freedom of choice, in a way or the other. 😀
@@YadVenturess Could you let me know again which country Dace came from, it slipped my mind. 😀
@@YadVenturessYes, I guess you are definitely right. How wrongly you are treated in a foreign country could summed up as an impression and a negative experience, but still, other positive experience counts as well. I had some bad experience when I was in my first year in Mumbai. I was treated badly in some shops, the salesperson didn't allow me to inspect the merchandise, the cashier suddenly closed the register and made me move to another cashier, the bumping with strangers on a crowded road (which I remember you had the same experience in Mumbai). But all that seemed unimportant when I had good local colleagues, good neighbors, good friends from Mumbai. Sometimes, those rude people have their own unresolved issues. 😀
Nice video! 🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻
Thank you 🙏
Latvia is literally my spirir animal
Central market is not really Solviet. German zepelin storage units or zepelin factory.
Haven't heard any latvian at central market, only soviet russians working there
@@danielb2135 Read it again and dont forget to delete comment.
NO, it's not!
Thank you for sharing! What do you like most about the country?
@@YadVenturess Nature/people/freedom 👍🏻💟✌🏻
It's depressing country for those who work & live there. Trust me. If you are there for holiday and have money then you have no stress.
You make a valid point! It seems that most people that visit for a short time enjoy it.
@@OZoleenContent that’s pretty much how it works wherever you go.
Plenty of people that live in latvia don't find it depressing, instead they find it inspiring
@@dreamthedream8929Different strokes for different folks 😊
Talking about Latvia yet visiting only Riga center... Disappointing.. :/
I’ve lived in Latvia for a year and visited nearly all the major cities and also filmed videos previously covering them. This video is filmed in Riga because it’s the capital city of the country and sharing our personal experience of the country not just Riga.
@@YadVenturess well. In my opinion this specific video should be called "is the Riga center the most depressing capital city center in Europe" :p If video is supposed to cover a whole country then it should reflect the whole country
Nice video amazing information
Thank you 🙏
شكرا على هذا الفيديو الجميل
Thank you for watching
I love when entitled non-Europeans teach us how we are...
she also said you will understand why she is giving out to you when you look back at your recorded video, but you seem not get it :D like older people squeezing bread to check freshness at a supermarket, just don't do it bad manners and unhygienic
Try Finland because this is most depressed place and goverment lies to you
i live in latvia and... it is sad
Sorry to hear that, what would you say makes you feel that way?
no it just means why do you touch products with your hands, it is unhygienic. To be honest I wouldn't take it if I saw someone doing this. Imagine everyone touching it. Have some common sense
You should not judge Latvians while in Riga for a short time. You have to live for about 1 year and feel the whole of Latvia and then you can express your opinion.
Just as well, I've never been to India, but I feel like India is a very dirty country.
Did you actually watch the video or listen to the introduction? The first thing I said was that I have lived in Latvia for 1 year and I have been to all the major cities. Furthermore, if you watch the whole video you will see the real conclusion. And finally, I am not from India I’m from the UK. You should watch the video properly before commenting next time!
Brother come to Malmö in sweden
I would love to!

hey braliukai ... greets from Lt.. ru is lame
I don't think downtown is the best place to ask people about country, lol. Also asking 2 kumar brothers/immigrants who knows only teriyaki and chicken with dozen chilli or red pepper is a bit silly.
What is truly silly is racist people like you. Teriyaki is Japanese, not Indian. So if you’re going to insult someone with your racist comments, at least say something like curry to make some sense out of it.
The locals are emotionally retarded and only open up with alcohol.
Just,BIG TNX!!!!Welcomr to my county!!!😀
Thanks! 😃
The chicken and pastry is the is sheet in Latvia !
