Riga Latvia

I have made it up to Riga Latvia and it a great change from Berlin. The city is so much smaller and more laid back.


I am also couchsurfing again so this has been a cheap trip to a new city


Like all the towns in Europe the architecture is great and the city is far more walkable than those in the US.


I have been in the city for a couple of days now and I am sure I will miss it when I head to some other large city in Europe with a faster pace.


At times it feels like my life is going from airport to airport and I am always looking up or down one of these ramps.

The Reason for Few Posts

I have noted that I have fallen off when it comes to posting and there are a few reasons for that but no more are more to blame than these two items.

My XBOX and an exercise ball are how I spend my days. OK, so I don't actually work out on the ball, but I do sit on it while playing the games so I feel accomplished.


This in conjunction with adjusting to my new surroundings, up keeping the flat, day-to-day hazards such as washing my bus pass with my clothes, and trying to finish off my thesis by the end of March have really held me back. There are some fun things to do here in Birmingham and I am sure my updates will become more frequent as I push forward.
