Labdien, Latviešiem! Tā ir es pirms 7 gadiem. Man pietrūkst Latvijas un es ceru tur atgriezties drīz. Ir lietas ko es mainītos par šo filmu bet man prieks ka jūs vispār domasiet to ko es teicu bija pareizi. Man ļoti patīk jūsu valsts un kultūra ❤️.

Being a Latvian almost everything she said really warmed my heart. After this I would definitely talk to you on the bus lol:)

This is the best video I've seen about my country and my culture! A very well done and accurate description of how we are and why we are like that, this made me feel very good! Thank you!

This is surprisingly detailed and accurate. Just wondering how long it took to get to know Latvians to this point? Very appreciated taking the time and digging deep regardless.

She’s so good with her observations, what an amazing memory!
Lithuanians are exactly the same.

How incredibly accurate and respectful description of Latvians. Thank you for this. The only thing I'd like to add is that most of Latvians are pagans even though we don't even conciously identify ourselves as such. We still keep paganic traditions in all the biggest festivities (summer and winter Solistice, Easter) even though many could be baptised in Luteranism.

As someone who recently moved to Germany from Latvia I've been missing home a lot sometimes. This is the most respectful and accurate description of Latvia/Latvians I've ever heard. I assume it took a lot of time to gain this much knowledge about my country, I agreed with everything she said. I absolutely love my culture, the food is amazing, the nature we have is incredible although it's not the most diverse I love the amount of forests we have and how much we appreciate nature and everything it can give us, I love our folk dances tautu dejas will always have a special place in my heart, our holidays mean so much to me. Līgo is the happiest weekend of the year for me, I love how everyone comes together and celebrates summer solstice staying up all night drinking kvass and eating Jāņu siers. There's so much history to discover in Latvia, we have such beautiful cities, yes the people can be cold at first but when you get to know us you've gained a friend for life. Visiting my home makes me so incredibly happy. Latvia will always be my favourite place on earth. Dievs svētī Latviju!

Sounds so refreshing to live in a place where people are blunt, sincere, and honest.

Trying to explain all this to my British girlfriend for 10 years now and she still doesn't understand me. She often thinks I'm acting deliberately weird or stand-off'ish when it's literally just a cultural thing. Spot on, this perfectly and I mean PERFECTLY sums up Latvian culture. Nailed it down to a T

American here. Never thought about it, but we do throw around "love" quite a bit. Latvia looks awesome, want to visit some day.
