Latvia was once known as the country with the most beautiful women in the world. Latvia is one of the three Baltic states, and in its history, it was occupied by Sweden and Poland, and later by the Soviet Union, which makes many Latvian girls have a mixed race character.
Because of historical and geographical reasons, the women there have not only the beauty of young Russian women, but also the elegance of European women, they combine the beauty of Eastern European beauty with the tall figure of Western European and American women, plus fair skin, all kinds of advantages are concentrated, making them a favorite type of many men.
It is said that Latvian beauties are "overflowing", to what extent has the standard of living of Latvians reached?
The Latvian ethnic group calls itself Latvish people, originated from the ancient ethnic name, Latgal, mainly distributed in Latvia, the rest are distributed in Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Belarus, etc., and some live in the United States, Canada, Argentina and Australia and other countries, belonging to the Europa race, the Baltic type, using Latvian, divided into central, eastern and northern dialects, with the central dialect as the standard language, belonging to the Indo-European language series, the Tolithuanian language family has a phonetic script based on the Latin alphabet, mostly Protestant Christian denominations, and some Catholic.
Real life in Latvia is colorful, full of energy and charm. The country has a long history and cultural heritage, but it is also a modern country with a modern way of life.
In Latvia, there is a strong emphasis on family and affection. The family is the basic unit of society, and people cherish family time very much and like to hold various gatherings and celebrations at home. In Latvian traditional culture, family and affection are very important values, and it is believed that family is a source of happiness.
The minimum wage for Latvians is 500 euros, about 3,500 yuan, and the average salary is 750 dollars, which is about 5,200 yuan. Restaurant waiters work 7 hours a day and earn 550 euros a month. Factory workers work 8 hours a day and earn 700 euros a month. A company clerk works 6 hours a day and earns 750 euros a month. A lawyer works 4 hours a day and earns 1,600 euros a month.
Latvians earn a much worse wage than the rest of Europe, but prices are not expensive. The price of various fruits and vegetables generally does not exceed 2 euros, and the price of meat generally does not exceed 8 euros.
Latvia is a developed country, and its economic power is at the middle and lower level among European countries. The GDP in 2021 was $38.8 billion, and the GDP per capita was $20,600.
Latvia has a relatively good industrial base, the food processing industry and tourism are important economic pillars of Latvia, and the chocolate and beer produced in Latvia are particularly famous and sold all over the world.
In addition, Latvia has strong strengths in electronics and machine building, wood processing, chemicals, mining and building materials.
It was once crowned with a very indecent title
For Europeans, Latvia is not known for its scenery or people, but for titles such as "Bangkok of Europe" and "X Capital".
After independence, Latvia actively pursued integration into the Western European system and joined the European Union in 2004. And because of the EU's various interconnection policies, Latvia's borders are also open to all EU countries, which makes tourists from the European continent flock to it. However, one of the more special reasons for tourists to come is to go to Latvia to buy spring.
Although the "booming" of this industry has indeed led to the growth of Latvia's economy to a certain extent, and it accounts for a large proportion of the country's GDP, it has also brought a lot of hidden worries, after all, it has also labeled Latvia badly, and even damaged the country's image.
Food, clothing, housing and transportation of Latvians
1. Latvians are still very concerned about their dress, they like to wear beautiful clothes, and they usually wear casual clothes.
Versatile jeans are a favorite item of every Latvian, and they can be worn with a shirt, and although they are simple, they are also a perfect expression of the Latvian style of dressing.
2. The diet of Latvians is based on rice and potatoes, they like to eat beef and mutton, lunch is the main meal of Latvians, and they have the Xi of eating dessert after meals.
Latvians are particularly fond of drinking, both men and women, who drink very well. I went to Latvia, but I couldn't drink the Latvian beauties anyway, but I was drunk by others.
3. Modern high-rise buildings are rarely seen in Latvia, where the atmosphere of commercialization is not heavy, and the urban infrastructure is relatively backward.
Many Latvians live in houses built during the Soviet Union and have a history of several decades, although the quality of the houses is very good, but the decoration and supporting facilities inside are not perfect, and the living experience is not very good.
4. Latvia's public transportation network is perfect, the frequency of subways and buses is very frequent, and it is very punctual, and the riding experience is still very good. There are also quite a few taxis in Latvia, but they need to be booked in advance.
Almost every Latvian has a private car, and traffic jams are common in Riga, the capital of Latvia. Latvians drive aggressively, so when you cross the road in Latvia, you should be observant.
Latvian girls marry offward
The difference between men and women in Latvia was one to ten at the time, so there was also a discussion about whether or not to be polygamous, but Latvia was firmly monogamous and did not support polygamy regardless of the cultural traditions or religious beliefs they accepted.
As for foreign marriage, Latvia has indeed had a lot of girls marry into other countries, but in terms Xi of emotions and customs, most of them go to Europe, and they don't think much about Asia.
I didn't know until I arrived in Latvia
1. When I arrived in Latvia, I learned that Latvian girls are generally very good-looking, they have a bumpy figure, they are also keen on physical exercise, and have a high level of education, but they also have their own troubles.
There are more women than men in Latvia, and there are many excellent Latvian girls who can't get married, which is really because there are too few boys in Latvia, so there are many tourists from European countries who like to travel to Latvia.
2. When I arrived in Latvia, I learned that Latvians enjoy a comfortable state of life. Latvians do not have the Xi of saving money, they generally spend instantly, and their concept is to enjoy life.
Walking down the streets of Latvia, you won't see passers-by in a hurry, nor will you see commuters catching the subway. Going to that Latvia will give you the impression that they love coffee.
3. When I arrived in Latvia, I learned that Latvians are very pragmatic. Whether they live or work, they don't pay attention to pomp and vanity. Latvians prefer to spend their extra money on tourist vacations rather than on indifferent things.

5. When I arrived in Latvia, I learned that the climate of Latvia is very comfortable and pleasant, with an average annual temperature of only 22 degrees, and the coldest time in winter will not exceed minus 5 degrees. To say that the weather in Latvia is not without disadvantages, the only disadvantage may be that there are more light rainy days, and in this kind of weather, Latvians generally do not wear umbrellas or raincoats.
6. When I arrived in Latvia, I learned that Latvia is also a tipping country. Tipping is required for eating at a restaurant, playing at a playground, and having afternoon tea at a café in Latvia. Remember not to use coins.
