first point to note, latvia is awesome. there are things, however that i found distinctly lacking. here is a list.

1)ginger people other than me

2)people with beards, other than me (literally, no beards or gingers sighted in 4 days in the capital city centre)

3)fat people

4)ugly people

5)happy people.

here are a few friendly pointers should anyone else wish to visit that wonderful country....

*when the waitress says "shall i bring you another shot of absinthe?" the correct answer is to get up, pay and leave.

*people get immesuarably annoyed when you stroll down the streets singing this. I have a theory that this may hold true worldwide.

*no posting while drunk


anyone else done anything silly recently?

I really don't know how the hell to interpret your post, feels like a language barrier, no offense rummy.. That song is funny as hell, and turns out I annoyed my roomate, his friend and neighbours alike oh and the 4 people I just linked to it. I find it catchy. :D

Are you saying that the people in Latvia are all thin, pretty and depressed?

Hah, i remember that song from a whole lot of years ago back in school.

We plugged up a few monitors in the hall way and the speakers and had this song and a even more silly video in a loop for days since we locked the door and hid the key. Only way was to unplug each TV and remove the cables.
The monitors were mounted in the roof, 4-5 meters up in the air.

Good times :)

Oh and even we got annoyed by the song after 3 days, and people snuck out the windows rather than walk out to the hallway :D


Did the same thing as a treat when we graduated, but that time we had the Badger song on loop, which is fairly as annoying - but none the less quite catchy

the badger song -HERE-

enjoy ;)

don't know about depressed, but thin and pretty anyway. they all walk around scowling, but smile when you talk to them.

Ah, the merits of the Slav race. I dated a girl last week, she invited me to come see Moscow next year. And last weekend I saw the girl on russia.ru, a Russian national broadcasting company. Madness. You can find it here, it's the brunette you see regularly.

for all you people who have now listened to the song, i got my comeuppance.

i started humming it on the plane home and my girlfriend punched me in the face.

OMG, listening to both songs at the same time is REALLY bad for your head :p. After leaving them both on for a minute I got a headache! Those songs are evil :shock:

I did a simular thing with the badger song but mine was at my dorm room. I left for the weekend and left it playing on a loop full blast in my dormroom with the door locked (it was still very audible out in the hall and in the rooms next door)
i came back to a dorm room with a broken lock for someone had kicked in the door and tyrned my comp off.

another funny one was i came up form the beach to the dairy queen where my friend worked, put $15 in the juke box and chose all of them as the baja mens' "who let the dogs out" i them immedietly left the dairy queen.
My friend Brandon told me it played about 7 times before someone unplugged the juke box
