psammy:
everybody is saying here is latvia girls are cheap or some kind of prostitutes and stuff like that
Ok, so
everybody in your country is saying this, right? It doesn't mean ALL say that.
It was the vulgar answer to the vulgar question, nothing else.
One of the purposes to run this forum is to show that we are not like it's described in foreign mass media. It affects not only girls, but also many other myths and untrue stories about Latvia.
It's obvious that Latvian girls are really nice, and there are some ethnic background reason, and I would say it honestly, because I've been around the glove in many countries, and no country has so nice and beautiful women like Latvians. But it doesn't mean we cultivate prostitution or ripping off.
Being under pressure of mass media, you actually always hear only
bad news. We are here to provide
good news. Good news are, that despite we sometimes may have bad news, they are not so bad like they are described, and they do not happen so often like good news.
Prostitutes?.. Show me a country where there are no prostitutes. Check
European prostitutes article. Prostitution is legal and regulated in Latvia the same as in Belgium, Denmark, Chezh Republic,
Finland, Germany, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Switzerland, Turkey - all the progressive countries. Who gives you a right to call Latvia a "sex tourism" country, in time when there is a lot of countries which deserve the same title? And pay attention, how many countries have
prostitution itself not illegal... where is the logic to believe
bad news saying that?
Pub owners want to ripp off? Show me a country where there is totally no ripp-off, or even more it's regulated by government, may be, huh?.. If you go to a bar or night club, be ready to take some risk, it's your choice. Don't
eat policemen ears after you discovered you are not enough to pay or you want to make more scandals.
Latvia is really peaceful country... Now when we are out of USSR, our nature start to recover. If you will be in Latvia, don't make your standard cycle in the Old Riga, there is A LOT of prostitutes and bouncers willing to ripp you off... Take a train to Jurmala or visit any of the memorable Latvian cities - Talsi, Kuldiga, Liepaja, Ventspils or where the road will bring you... You will see a lot of pretty nice girls around, just see them, don't try hook them, almost all of them will be busy

Please your eyes if you need so.
