Those market buildings are actually the former zeppelin hangars from the WW I . They've been brought from the small town of Vaiņode in West Latvia and erected here in 1926.
Thank You, guy's, for representing our country in such a wonderful and honorable view! Amazing video! Best luck with your upcomming trip's, and I am looking forward for the coverage! Thank You, guy's!
Hey, thanks for the great vid. The city's population is depleting mostly on paper. People are getting richer and building private houses just outside the Riga's borders. When I was a kid everything around Riga was forests and meadows basically. Now everything you see 10-20 km outside Riga's borders are private houses, streets and cars.
I have always liked and watched this channel, but would have liked to see more of the two traveling around Japan. The footage of the two of them in Japan was great, immersive, like watching a movie. But I look forward to seeing the two of them having fun in different countries in the future.
I agree, Japan is such a beatiful country with lots of stuff to do. Especially the van life is what I really enjoyed experiencing together with Glenn and Mado. There's also much more to see in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. They have only scratched the surface of Japan. They hinted towards the last episode that they would like to revisit Japan. I for one will be thrilled to see them return, but I could imagine this won't be anytime soon as they just left this month. Maybe we will see Japan in the winter together with them, that would be lovely.
I heard a rumour, that it is very trippy in the mens restroom in Radison Blu Skyline caffe. Especially if you get the stall by the window. I am a woman so I don't know, but one of my guy friends said that he felt like he was peeing all over Riga.
Not only migration. Also low birthrates and high levels of suburbanisation. Some areas around Riga tripled their population in the last decade. Few towns got city status now.
@@GlenAndMado latvian market workers from old times have this habit of scamming foreigners they think they cannot read the sign on the product and always tells u double the price because theres a saying that ure extremly lucky if foreigner wants to buy stuff from you since theres a belief that any foreigner is very rich and wont mind paying more 🤣🤣🤣 i always feel so frkn bad when i see people getting scammed makes me feel embarassed as well since i have feeling that u(tourists) will think we all are scammers since we are smol country. But oh well cant do anythin about it... btw Riga market also shop prices are higher than other cities strawberries in my local market usually cost around 3 euro/kg but only in summer when its the strawberry season.
Haha there is don’t worry! Just a week away with my friend this was, 1 more episode then back to Glen and mado 😉😅 yeah it’s definitely not the same without her!
@@GlenAndMado Not true what he said. Plavnieki, Purvciems, Kengarags are buit by russians for russians in time of occupation. And now mostly russians live there, especially at Kengarags. More interesting and real is city around Old Town, and on other bank of the river. As someone mentioned already, Agenskalns, Tornakalns are much more interesting and real.
😂😂😂 better do not go there. Soviet brutalism and little USSR. Besides- city centre is ALSO the city. I do not wonder Pļavnieki does not want to go to nice District of Rīga. They hate it tidy and beautiful.
In Latvia, you get a fine in 15 minutes, if you are at the sea in the wrong place at the wrong time, a fine from 100 to 1000€, be careful. you can be fined €30 for parking your car near the store.
If you leave your car where it's forbidden, for sure you'll receive fine. In every country :D And it's something new for me, as a local, about fines being at sea. Can you please tell a little bit more? Where did you receive this fine?

This edible cup is indeed surprising and looks good. The buildings in the old city area are also very beautiful and stylish.
VALMIERMUIŽA the best beer here! It's made few meters away from my place real good quality !
Haha no way whats the chances!
20:10 filming. Possibly the TV series Sisi (The Empress). Ahh yeah definity The Empress after seeing the costumes later on in the video.
No Glen and Mado but i like this Glen and Carl ,Carl needs to be a vlogger soon

She kind of scammed u with those strawberries but oh well for a good strawberry its worth overpaying
@@sabii_sabee she did!? Very good price compared to our countries anyways lol

@@GlenAndMado If the price is 5,90 for kg, than half kilo would be around ~3 Eur not 5
1 kg costs €5.90, but you paid €5 for 500 grams.
As Latvian i hate fish soup. Only thing i can eat from fish is fisheggs on bread
stroganoff a Latvian traditional food? :D nop
Tieši vec giga nevis riga
there is no more Mado in Glen and Mado
Haha there is don’t worry! Just a week away with my friend this was, 1 more episode then back to Glen and mado 😉😅 yeah it’s definitely not the same without her!
It's not really a Riga, it's a tourist center.
We rarely go there.
If you want to see real city, you need to go to plavnieki, purvciems, kengarags
thanks for letting us know, we only stopped in Riga for a quick 2 day trip.
Purvciems, where the majority are russians? no, thank you. Just go to Agenskalns or Tornakalns where latvians are the majority
@@GlenAndMado Not true what he said. Plavnieki, Purvciems, Kengarags are buit by russians for russians in time of occupation. And now mostly russians live there, especially at Kengarags.
