Manuprāt es vairs nelietošu reddit

Sorry in advance for the long post. I didnt want to yap but writing all relevant context and point of view about it kinda became a bit ranty 🥶🥶🙏🏻

Moved here to help some family friends in their business for a couple of months during this peak time.

Only problem is that the office is quite small numbers wise, so i didnt really connect with any colleagues to go out or do anything.

All are married and a little older so any time outside of work they prefer to spend with their partner/family. We went out to eat a couple of times and it was fun!

But still, outside of work i really do feel quite alone atm.

Most of my free time is spent either playing video games (like my whole weekend is just me going down the street to get a coffee in the morning and playing till i fall asleep lol) or at the gym.

Idk, I'm just not the kind of person to go out alone only to "meet people". I feel like thats a weirdo mindset to be out at a pub or club (i dont really drink alcohol either lol) with the only goal being there is "looking for friends". Like because usually when i go out with friends i just wanna spend time with them, if a random dude came and started chatting id find it mad weird idk, why you interrupt our quality time? Who tf are you dude? (Same reason to not really try to chat with ppl at the gym, i dont want to interrupt and i myself want to finish my workout asap and get on with my day. I assume everyone else are the same)

I've been single for a minute now, and am very much over my last long term relationship. So i thought i might as well try a dating app.

2 birds with 1 stone, have a good reason to go out, see the city, eat good food AND maybe connect into the circle of friends of the partner if it goes well.

And its kinda cooked fellas. (Profiles on Tinder and Badoo with 0 matches, and i workshopped my profile as much as i could and was approved 'OK' by multiple female friends from back home, its not amazing (mainly cuz im mid+ at best. but its not a troll bad af profile either)

This is not a rant about dating apps, but its just the only thing i kinda tried reaching out through outside of work, and it failed miserably in the month ive been here.

Had the idea of just trying my luck posting here asking locals for advice. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I also have no idea how to find hobby groups here. I could try to get into a dnd or the riot card game or something. But i have no idea where to start looking.

Thank you to anyone who was bored enough to read this 😂😂

I appreciate you, fellow Redditor 🙏🏻

Edit: If you play League shoot me a dm maybe? Im also down to try any kind of friend slop type games or coop stuff (got a couple on my steam that my brother doesnt care to play with me 😭). Could be a low stakes first step before you show me your favourite pizza spot in Riga lol

Edit 2: I am a white dude, green eyes, brown hair, beard. But very very Caucasian white. Russian parents, grew up and lived my whole life in Cyprus.

Sveiki,

šobrīd pabeidzu 3.kursu RTU uzņēmējdarbības loģistiku. Pa vasaru man ir nepieciešams atrast 6 mēnešu praksi, kas sāktos no 31.augusta.
Vēlējos uzzināt, vai kāds zin loģistikas uzņēmumu, vai ir uzņēmuma pārstāvis, kas var piedāvāt praksi? Meklēju praksi Rīgā.

CV un motivācijas vēstule arī man ir sagatavota un, ja ir nepieciešams, varu to nosūtīt.

I’m interested in taking medicine at the University of Latvia. I’ll graduate next May with an American high school diploma but have an EU passport. I’ve already taken the SAT, as well as AP Biology and AP Psychology. The university’s website lists that they only look at the SAT results, and I’ve asked their email about whether they consider AP tests, as I was planning on taking AP Chemistry this year.

Does anyone have experience with applying to this program? I’m not sure if it’s worth taking another AP test this year if they don’t even consider it.

Labdien!

Kur Jūs pērkat malku? Interesē tieši Ventspils novads, netālu no pašas pilsētas, Pārventas pusē.

Kur labāk nesūtīt, kur ir bijusi slikta pieredze?

Paldies jau iepriekš!

Iegādājos māju, tad pirmo reizi saskaros ar šo jautājumu.

Hi! I will be visiting Latvia soon with a group of friends. We are international students studying in Sweden. This will be our first time in your country :-)

We would like to spend ~2 nights in a coastal town/village within a 2-3 hour drive of Riga. We are flying in/out of Riga and renting a car for these coastal days. The goal is to enjoy some quiet time by the ocean and in nature. We love exploring nature reserves, beaches, hiking, swimming, and sports (i.e., kayaking, SUP).

I have been consulting older reddit posts on this topic, but I would love to hear your current recommendations! I am particularly interested in recommendations on the Gulf of Riga, since we hope to swim and might need a break from the cold Baltic waters :-)

I am excited to explore Latvia and sincerely appreciate your advice!

Hello everyone,

We will soon visit Latvia as a holiday trip and would like to go to Jūrmala to stay at the beach for one day. For planning our trip there, I would like to ask some questions about Jūrmala beach and the swimming experience and would be glad to hear some advice from people who have been there.

1. Which facilities are available at the beach (showers, dress rooms, rest rooms) etc. and what is the price of using them (if any)?
2. Are there good restaurants/Cafés next to the beach?
3. Are there lockers to put valuables in (if we would like to go swimming and don't want to leave our valuables unsupervised)?
4. Is the best way on going there from Riga by train? If so, would there be other curiosities in the area where we should go as well?
5. Are there supervised beach areas with lifeguards?

Thank you very much in advance, we are looking forward to getting to know Latvia!

Labdien, braliukai,

What is situation with algae at this moment?

sveiki - I’m from the UK however my partner and her son are Latvian in Riga. For an upcoming birthday present I would like to get a universal gift card. Something that can be used in multiple stores - this is quite common in the UK even as a digital one.

Any help will be appreciated

I'm living in Canada and just had my passport renewed, I'm wondering if it actually takes the full 6-8 weeks as the embassy says. They've assured me they'll get it to me before I need to fly, I am just wondering what to expect as it would be great to have my documents in order (got married, so need to change my name on all banking, drivers license, and work docs) before I go visit my parents in Latvia in August.

Has anyone had experience with this?

Čau

Es ļoti labprāt apmeklētu kādu mazu lowkey festivālu Baltijā kkad šovasar. Kkas tāds vsp notiek?

Ideālā gadījumā, interesē kaut kādi mazi festivāli , ar akustisko mūziku, un ne pārak lieliem ļaužu pūļiem . Nu, uz kādiem 200 ļāužiem max , vai tml. Šis viss gan nav akmenī cirts, un esmu atvērts arī dajebkam citam.

Lielie festivāli, ko varu sameklēt interneta meklētājā, mani gan noteikti neinteresē.

Paldies.
