Latvian Girls

Latvian girls are from a small country on the Baltic Coast.  Latvia borders Estonia to the north, Lithuania to the south, Belarus to the southeast, and Russia to the east.  Even better Latvian women have a reputation for being very hot.

About 30% of Latvian women are actually ethnic Russians, which has caused some political problems recently.  Latvia probably has a more tense relationship with Russia than any of the nations of the former Soviet Union.   There have been a whole series of disputes mostly centering on World War II history, oddly enough.  However, you are interested in the Latvian ladies, not whether Stalin was justified in grabbing Latvia in 1940 or if the Latvians were a little too supportive of the Nazis in 1941.

Well, Latvia, like all the countries of the in the former Soviet Union still has a world class education system and about 39% of Latvian women know English, probably even more among young women.

Latvia also has the reputation of being like it neighbor Estonia to the north as being more of a Scandinavian country than a Slavic country, which apparently means that they are more relaxed and cosmopolitan than Russians or Ukrainians.   Well, at least that’s what they would like us to believe.   It might actually be true since a full 63% of Latvians claim no religious affiliation, but that number is considerably lower among Latvian women.   Among Latvians that claim any affiliation Lutherans leads the way at 19%.

Latvian Brides

One of the advantages of courting Latvian brides instead of a girl from Lithuania or Estonia is that Riga, the capital of Latvia, is a largest city in the Baltic states.  It has a good international airport and it is not at all hard to book a decent flight into the city.  Also, Riga has the reputation as a great tourist destination full of a lot of medieval buildings, historic sites, and lots of bars, and since it is a member of the European Union it is relatively easy to obtain a visa to meet Latvian girls.

In fact, Riga has earned a largely unwanted reputation as one of the best cheap party towns in Europe.   Apparently, lots of Brits travel there for bachelor parties, drink way too much, and behave badly.  In fact, there was a small diplomatic row between Latvia and the United Kingdom over the issue.

An August 2009 article in the British newspaper the Telegraph explained that, “A major sore point has been (British) tourists who urinate on central Riga's imposing Freedom Monument, a symbol of Latvia's struggle against centuries of foreign domination.”

Now that is funny!

However, for you the point is that Riga is a great party town with lots and lots of hot Latvian girls.

So, a Latvian bride might be the right choice for you and you could certainly have a great time partying with the hot Latvian girls, but please, don’t embarrass yourself or you countrymen.
