Diskusija/Discussion Rave culture

7 Upvotes

Man ir interesanti, kā jūs kopumā uztverat reiva kultūru un cilvēkus, kuri regulāri apmeklē reivus? Cik margināla, jūsuprāt, ir šī kultūra? Kāda ir jūsu attieksme pret reiva mūziku un to, kas parasti notiek klubos?

Vai jūs reiva kultūru pieskaitītu kontrkultūrai? Subkulturai?

Jautājums/Question Christmas kn Riga?

2 Upvotes

Me and partner want to travel during Christmas (from 24th to 27th Dec), but so many european cites are closed down and quiet,. But with some research Riga seems to be more open and lively, is that right? Are shopping malls open on 25th amd 26th? And the Christmas market as well?

Thanks and looking forward

Palīdzība/Help Looking for a Latvian-English interpreter in Riga

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

I need a small favour. I have a free legal aid intake interview at the University of Latvia (Raiņa bulvāris 19) about a tenancy deposit dispute. The interview is held in Latvian, and I need someone fluent in Latvian and English to come along as an interpreter. It would be roughly an hour.

The interview was originally set for Monday 12 Oct at 10:00, but the centre cancelled it until I find an interpreter, once I have someone, they will schedule a new slot. The centre asked me to confirm by this Friday (9 Oct) at noon, so timing is a bit tight.

Happy to pay for your time, or at least coffee and lunch are on me. If you can help or know someone who can, please DM me.

Paldies!

Diskusija/Discussion When buying a home in Riga, did you consider resale or focus on your own needs?

0 Upvotes

If you’ve bought an apartment in Riga, how much did the possibility of selling it later influence your choice?

For transparency, I work in real estate. One question I find interesting is how people balance a home they personally love with practical considerations if they eventually need to move.

For example, would you choose an unusual layout that suits you perfectly, even if it might not suit many other buyers? Would you compromise on the neighbourhood to get a better apartment, or accept a less appealing interior for a building in better condition?

I’m particularly interested in experiences from Riga and the surrounding area. If you have since sold your home, what mattered to buyers that you hadn’t considered when purchasing it?

And if you bought intending to stay long term, did future resale matter to you at all?

Jautājums/Question Seemingly random fireworks show

4 Upvotes

Does anyone know who puts on the seemingly random fireworks shows? There was one this evening that seemed to be coming from the direction of the cruise port. Is it a specific cruise line? I recall other days when there were unannounced fireworks. (I’m not referring to the 825 one, which was announced.) Was tonight’s in honor of the Saeima elections? Or … ?

Palīdzība/Help Thoughts on RTU studies

1 Upvotes

I'm currently studying in my first year at the BMF faculty. I've been struggling for a while to figure out whether I want to go into computer science or mechanical engineering. Right now, I'm feeling kind of unsure about this, and I wanted to know if anyone has switched faculties? What was your experience? I think I should have gone for the computer science faculty instead... it seems more interesting to me now, and I'm feeling a bit down that I might have made the wrong choice, but I don't know... I'm pretty confused. For now, I’m giving this program a chance. I'm interested in either information technology or telecommunications at DITF.

I understand that ultimately the choice is mine, but I’d really like to hear some advice, experiences, etc.
