- First Time Hosting Subscribers in Riga Latvia 🇱🇻
By far one of the best parts of having a TH-cam channel, is the new relationships that you develop on the journey.
Join me with Wayne, Natalie and Kieron as we explore the city of Riga in Latvia.
The Old Town, the Resort Beaches, the Famous Indoor Market, The Locals, the Bars and of course the moonshine, we did not stop and crammed in as much we could in the fabulous city of Riga in Latvia.
The best part is that three subscribers are now friends and I look forward to seeing them all again soon on our Journeys.
A massive thank you to Natalie, Wayne and Kieron for visiting me and making this video possible.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakusky and join me as I and three subscribers meet and discover Riga Latvia together.
Thank you to all my TH-cam Members and Patreons for your support and for helping make this channel what it is!

It's amazing how you engage with your audience. I don't think I've ever seen another youtuber be a tour guide to their fans!
It was so amazing to see how happy Nadezda was! Her face when she saw she was famous was priceless!
It was an honour to meet her ❤️
She is the star of the Justin Eastern Europe channel.
👍😂👌
Love the video my friend. Talk soon mate. Keep up the good work. Cheers, your neighbor downstairs 1A.
Thank you mate!!!
We must have that drink some time soon👌👍
@@J.E.E amigo, yes man. Looking forward to it. 🥃
That was fantastic. makes me wanna pack my bags and go home. Thank you,Justin, for your videos. much love and success on chanel.
I guess bald & bankrupt must be afraid of reaching his number of subscribers and views 😉 Great job. Keep up that way. Hope I ll be visiting Riga soon. Greetings from Greece.
Efharisto my friend.
Come over my friend, will be great👌
Let me know when you have a date
Absolutely incredible video Justin! Felt like I was there and was fantastic to watch you show your friends such a wonderful time. Kieran is your new body guard 👍😊. Stay well and “Enjoy the Journey “😎
Hi Tom,
So happy you enjoyed the video.
Amazing to meet such great people that appreciate and enjoy life!!!
Kieron was super nice and boy can he drink!!! But I have to admit, I did feel safer having him around🤣🤣
Another great video Justin and I reiterate what everyone else has said in the comments, but one question...does Kieran not speak? Lol 😂
How fun for you to get to be a tour guide for your own subscribers 😀 The sign on that tricked out limo said "dream carriage"... I'm honestly surprised that people from the UK wouldn't like fish. it's an island for goodness sakes! lol
Hi Maruta,
Always nice to get you messages.
Not too surprised, but more for me!!! I love the Latvian fish👌
@@J.E.E That's one of the things I really appreciate about you 😊
@@marutakelers1856 😉👍👌
Джастин, я уже начинаю привыкать видеть себя в каждом твоём видео :D :D :D Хороший монтаж!
Привет Александр.
Спасибо тебе большое, мне очень нравится как ты поёшь, и обожаю Виктор Цой 👍👍👍
Hello Justin my friend👋 Let's have a beer next time I go to Riga😀👍👍
With pleasure mate👌 Just let me know when, so we can coordinate... I travel quite a bit👍
Incredible hospitality my friend. עשית לי חשק לבקר אותך גם אני
Thank you brother!!! Welcome to Riga - Let me know when you are gonna be here!!! Probably after your south American tour.
Would be amazing👌
I love ur vids so much and how u don’t just cut it into multiple videos, always love the food reviews, absolute legend justin
Thank you mate...
Happy you are enjoying the content 🙂
Plent more to come soon👍
Another great video Justin I really enjoyed it. These videos are good fun I enjoy seeing how other British exiles live. I have been 10 years in rural Czech Republic usually people only visit Prague but of course there is so much more to any country than just the capital. I look forward to the next installment. Mark
Hello Mark,
Thank you so much for the kind words.
I love the Czech Republic and you are right, there is so much more to the country than Prague, although it is an amazing city.
I can imagine a video about rural Czech Republic!!! I may pick your brains in the future about that.
Thank you for watching and all the best mate👍👌
@@J.E.E Cheers Justin and sure hit me up anytime only too happy to help in anyway 👍
Wonderful tour guide and host thank you to Justin for a great and unforgettable experience 😀 ❤️
Hi Natalie... It was amazing meeting you guys and I enjoyed every moment of it.
See you soon👌👍
Most interesting upload, one day I'll come to visit you too. You have beautiful stories.
If you keep meeting up with your subscribers you will probably need a new liver by August lol. Thanks for another great video,
Hi Christoph,
I agree... Need a little detox 🤣🤣🤣
You deserve more subscribers
Thank you my friend for the compliment!!!
Time and effort I am sure will yield the correct result.
Happy you enjoy the content and thank you for the supportive comment👌👍
You’re an excellent guide, Justin. Soon there will be a group of people following you. That could be another unexpected direction this TH-cam channel is taking you on, as you mentioned. 😀 It’s nice to see you’re becoming recognised and your content liked by so many. Deservedly so.
Hi Ines,
Thank you so much for the kind comment.
I cannot even imagine how this is going to evolve, but I am enjoying every minute.
When are you coming to Riga?
@@J.E.E I’m not sure yet. We are probably coming in August when kids are off school, but I haven’t decided yet. I’m always busy with kids though. I have 3 so our hands are always full. 😀 If I happen to see you around, I’ll definitely say hi 👋🏻.
Thank you friend for the excellent film. The babushka was adorable - great positive person. You make the world better mate! All the best!
Love your videos. Going to Riga for a few days late april, so been watching alot of your videos over the last few weeks :)
Awesome videos! Going to Riga in two weeks whoohoo! Can't wait!
Thank you Jack.
Enjoy it mate, it is an amazing city👍👌
Hello, Justin! Thanks for another nice & sweet videó about my/our Riga ❤
Our son's are the same age ;)
P. S. Jūrmala, isn't coast of Riga..We have a lot of beaches in Riga, on both coast of river Daugava :) Like 'Daugavgríva' or 'Vecàķi' etc.
Must've been so surreal meeting your subscribers! Loved the video
Hi Tom
It was a real privileged for me, I enjoyed every moment.
Keep enjoying and thank you for supporting mate👌👍
I have seen you comment in every video since Justin's channel was less than 1k, you are a true fan!
@@davidmalka1693 thank you :)
Thanks you so much for the informative beautiful video. It helped me alot. I came on to Riga last week. Want meet you if you are free
Hello mate,
Happy you enjoyed it.
Always happy to meet like minded people!!!
Send me an email with your number and we can contact via WhatsApp
justinmalka7@gmail.com
Just when you wondered where he had gone, he pops up again. Time for a Justin fix 👍
Hello mate...
Last 2 edits were very big and complicated, so they took longer than expected.
But I am here 👍👌
@@J.E.E But worth the wait mate 👍
i can't come to Riga anytime soon but otherwise would definitely come say hi. Btw as you're also a Viktor Tsoi fan, the tribute band are playing in Riga on the 11th of June at the Arena Riga at Skanstes street, 21. Recommend going there if u have the spare time or funds!
Hi mate...
I heard of that, I think it is the original ban with his son.
I might go and make a video of it👍
I just checked... The keep changing the date. Now they say the 10th September... I will probably go👍
@@J.E.E ah ok really? In that case maybe I'll join u then haha. I'll look into it & let u know nearer the time!
@@kw2142 that would be great👍
I hope you are not camera shy
Hi Justin super video, keep it up
Thank you my friend... Plenty more to come!!!
I will keep it up and you please keep watching👌👍
A nice uplifting vid and an offbeat mini tour.
Glad you enjoyed it!! 😃👍
Man I might come to visit!
That would be fantastic mate.
Just let me know when!!!
@@J.E.E I will definitely let you know..right now money is tight but we sure want too!
@@eltenda will be fantastic mate👌👍
@@J.E.E 👌😁
Keep it up Justin! I recently returned from Riga, I am from Warsaw and it was a great interesting city break for me. Actually, the decision to buy a plane ticket was made after accidentally coming across your channel. Greetings and all the best, I really enjoy your videos. Moonshine in the market is a must ;-)
Hi Tom,
What a great comment, thank you for that!
I am happy you enjoyed Riga and that you got to try the moonshine👌😂
Was in Warsaw last week and I absolutely love your city.
See you soon in Warsaw mate👍😊
Great job hosting 👍🏾
What an amazing video. Congrats from Brazil!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words my friend!! 😀👍👌
Селёдка, черный хлеб и самогон, что может быть лучше. За Ваше Здоровье, Джастин! У меня правда стопочка водки и плов на закуску сегодня
Спасибо большое Марина... Очень вкусно было 👌
Плов тоже очень хороший вариант!
Посмотрел, сходил в магазин, купил чёрный хлеб, шпроты, солёный огурец и водки бутылку. Сейчас смотрю заново, выпиваю по сантиметру закусывая правильными бутиками. Люблю Ригу , очень вкустнвй город. Спасибо огромное за отличное видео. 🇱🇻👍 Давайте как нибудь в Баку поедем . Я вам покажу город и места где отлично можно выпить и закусывать аутентичную Бакинскую кухню.
Pigs Snout is good eating! It is a little slimey though! 😂
יפה מאד ! כל הכבוד !
תודה רבה לך אחי!
Great video mate Stay safe
Thank you Paul!!! Always appreciate the support👍👍👍
Your professionalism shows in all of your videos. If ever a chance, I would like to see if the elderly lady you shared a meal with is doing alright. You shared a Ubek meal with her at the market.
BLESSING PEOPLE COME TO SEE YOU WONDERFUL JUSTIN THIS IS JK
Thank you mate, also looking forward to your visit 👍👌
I have a two year contract in Riga out in Pinki starting in August this year. It would be great to catch up. The fish snacks look amazing. I am looking forward to excellent fish there. Georgian food is too carbohydrates based for most dishes. Cheers from Batumi Georgia
Hi Liza.
Would be great to catch up... I will share with you the best places I discovered.
Here is my email justinmalka7@gmail.com if you message me there we can exchange WhatsApp numbers and communicate easier.
Messages can often get lost here in the comment section.
I am happy you enjoy the content
Justin - great videos! Can you please share the name of the moonshine place and which hanger it is in?
Hi Greg,
It is called Samogon... You can't miss it, as it is the only one.
You can find it in the Fish Pavilion the one closest to the river and the main road.
Happy you enjoyed the video and thanks for the comment.
soon i hope to visit you do :)
Hi Shay,
Let me know as it would be great to meet you.
Looking forward to it mate 👌👍
@@J.E.E sure thanks hope soon 🤗
Food in Latvia is amazing. Whenever I bring my husband to Latvia he is always amazed that there are little cafes everywhere! If you go to local B&Q (Depo) even there you can have a proper lunch.
such a delight to see Riga after quite time..The market( i believe old aircraft hangers and before zeppelins ? ) as changed alot. Is the bus and coach station next door still there?,,keep up the good work,Justin, showing the real people .not the w*nkers in charge..
Hi Andy,
Thanks for the supportive comment.
The bus and train station are still there, did a video about the train station lately, as there are plans for major changes.
Keeping it real with real people.
Thanks for watching 👍👌 and all the best mate
@@J.E.E you to buddy
Justin! I love how you passionately pronounce, "Your-mal-AH!" You should patent it as your own. :) It is so close in pronunciation but has "Justin's" unique (unikal) touch to it! Valmieramuiza has many varieties of delicious beers is one of my favorites too! NO ONE could do a better tour of the brewery than you!
Was the electrichka colored in the Ukrainian flags colors by design or by coincidence?
No mate, they are always that color🤣
Enjoying your videos alway in silence, but this time Justin the song got me crazy and I can’t find it .. very beautiful song I will appreciate it if you give me a link or name
Nadeshda 💜!
She is the star of the show👌👍❤️
I would love to take that shot with you some day.
The fish doesnt really go with White bread(except salmon) Also I saw little onion over there.
About moonshine, that ones weak, usually we do around 55-60°
You mush go to Latgale and visit moonshine museum(Šmakovkas muzejs) there are two if I remember corectly, one was in Daugavpils other around Viļāni(?).
I would have moonshine and pickles please
Wait, what is your favourite vodka then? If it's produced in Latvia, could be "Stolichnaya".
Березовая роща (Beryozavaya Rosha) a real hangover free vodka
Try it mate👌👍
@@J.E.E
Hmmm, I'm not into vodka really, HOWEVER one of the sweetest and smoothest vodkas I've ever tried was made on birch buds (It was made in Ukraine, I guess), so it makes sense, if the name is of any indication here.
And British isles also have a lot to offer, like Poteen made in Wales by "Celtic Spirit" is something special, but also pretty expensive, as far as I know.
How come do you know so many languages it’s so impressive
i was in Riga end of May end of June unfortunate you been out of riga
I live in latvia
Hi Daniel...
Good choice mate!!!
How long have you been here?
@@J.E.E my whole life 😄
@@eiojgg6084 local guy👍👍👍
Any ideas on good places to visit?
@@J.E.E you could also try Tērvetes dabas parks it's a nice place I've been there
@@eiojgg6084 thanks mate... Will check it.out.
Are you from Riga?
37:27 Kieron is trying to figure out if he is breathing in or breathing out, then nonchalantly Justin's like "want some fish" 🤣🤣🤣😂
I'm here right now. Can we meet and have a drink or something? Thanks 😊
Sure mate, would be great!!!
Send me an email justinmalka7@gmail.com
@@J.E.E too bad already back here in Finland. It was really nice there. Arrived on MAY 4. There was free concert. 2 bad only have 2 days. Just comment if there's a chance someday you could come visit my country PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 😊
Well compared to Atlantic Ocean Baltic Sea is not salty but it still is by the way Nadezda is a star
Are there many jewellery shops in riga
This fish look like sprat
Why dnt u meet me
Hello mate,
In your last message requesting to meet, I responded that we could meet the next day in the market, but you did not respond...
Are you still in Riga? Always happy to meet like minded people👍👌
@@J.E.E sorry but I think you deleted that message
@@aslamkhan-bf9sp email me, will be easier justinmalka7@gmail.com
pro latvian tip, whenever u cheers someone with a glass of any drink, you look them into the eyes, otherwise its a sign of disrespect
Love your videos, love your interaction with Latvians, but there is one thing that i do hate! And that's, you all the time talk about soviet union. I understand, for you it's a history and some facts, but for most of Latvians that was a very dark time, so much pain and suffering. It would be nice if you stop it, we know our history and every one who wants to learn about our history can do it very easily, you don't need to rub it in our eyes and remind us all the time, that's something we don't want to remember.
Thank you mate for your feedback it is highly appreciated.
I understand that it was a hard time, but the truth is that Latvian History is very sad considering it has always been ruled by not only the Soviets, the German Landlords, that did not allow Latvians in the city of Riga... and by no means am I glorifying it, however World. War 2 and the cold War are moments in history that I find fascinating.
Obviously it is impossible to make videos that can satisfy everyone all the time, bit I think history is important to remember when looking forward.
Thank you my friend for your kind words and feedback noted.
All the best
In video about Latvia, at least choose music in latvian language. Some foreigners still confuses us, as part of rus territory. Which is very offending.
Hi Sanita,
I always use street buskers in my videos and the fact is that most buskers in Riga sing in Russian.
No intention to offend just the reality of the way things are
If I find a Latvian busker, which I have tried, I will for sure use their music too
Thank you for watching and commenting 👌👍
so bad music :(
Is instagram best for contacting u?🍺
Yes mate👍
