Thank you for your lovely and extensive visit to Daugavpils. My mother is from the town of Nautrene near Resekne which is just north of Daugavpils. Latvija is a very beautiful country in so many ways. The culture, food, music, people and the history make it worth a visit.

Thanks for this video. I am about to head to Daugavpils to teach English at Daugavpils University. It seems like a nice, quiet and historic city. Did you feel welcomed there? Was it a place you could envision living in for a year or so?

Спасибо за видио. Не был в Риге и в Даугавпилсе... 32 года.

Very Very interesting! My Jewish grandparents escaped from here in 1911! I think their lives were in danger. They ended up in Boston, four years later

Я учился в Вишском сельхозтехникуме. В Даугавпилсе напротив пединстиута была пельменная. Там были самые вкусные пельмени в мире

[dtvfull]

Very nice! Without politics and stupid stereotypes. Excellent!
