It is impossible to describe how great my country is. Being Latvian is an award and a very respectful title that puts a lot of responsibility on your shoulders. Therefore, Latvians in Bournemouth have to do a lot to maintain this title.<\/p>\n
So, what do we actually do?<\/p>\n
We travel\u2026. We love travelling. We Latvians can easily jump on a bike and cycle 10-30-50 miles away from Bournemouth to explore some of the greatest places in this country. The Purbecks and Jurassic Coast offer \u201cthe great outdoors\u201d right here on our doorstep.<\/p>\n We cook and eat\u2026 We absolutely love great food. To stock up on our home supplies I recommend the shop Skazka in The Trinagle (near Bournemouth Library). \u201cSkazka\u201d means \u201cfairy tale\u201d and it really is a wonderland of goods (food, films, literature) from Latvia as well as Poland, Ukraine, Russia, Lithuania.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We can spend hours in the kitchen cooking some traditional Latvian dishes or can go to one of the greatest local restaurants: Da Mario, Casa Brasil\u2026 even though these places don\u2019t serve any of our traditional Latvian meals, they are brilliant and very well respected by our community.<\/p>\n And finally, we make friends\u2026 One of the greatest parts of being a student at BU is that we are all part of a big community. And it does not matter what country you are from \u2013 we all have similar interests that connect and unite us.<\/p>\n By Glebs Kiselovs<\/p>\n BA (Hons) Business Studies with Marketing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Latvia \u2013 the most amazing country in the world. Latvia is known as a country with stunning landscapes and magnificent nature. Overall, the easiest way to describe Latvia is to look at Ieva\u2019s blog about Lithuania.
