American in Latvia: January 2011
http://americaninlatvia.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
The Swastika in Latvia. Monday, January 10, 2011. This post has been coming for a long time, but I never really knew exactly how to approach it. I don't know when I first noticed the swastika; it probably was in some sort of pattern on mittens or socks or a restaurant menu or something of the kind. In Latvia the swastika is called the Ugunskrusts. Fire Cross and Thunder Cross, depending on if it is rotating clockwise or counterclockwise.). A screencap of a live TV broadcast of a folk dance event:. This i...

American in Latvia: December 2010
http://americaninlatvia.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Latvian Pop Music and Prāta Vētra Concert. Sunday, December 12, 2010. 2) Around two thirds of Prāta Vētra songs have to end in "lalala" or "dadida" or a short phrase repeated multiple times for maximum sing-a-long capacity. Wikipedia has a fairly informative page on Prāta Vētra. Also, I apologize for the way the embedding shows up on the blog; it messes up the layout and fonts, but as I am not a technical genius and I am tired, I will leave it for now. Only Mr. God Knows Why). Na zarye - At. I couldn't f...

American in Latvia: March 2011

The Blog Police: A Conversation. Thursday, March 10, 2011. Don’t you have to close your Latvia blog? Yes, don’t you have to shut it down? Why would I have to do that? Well, you're home - you're not an American in Latvia anymore. So the blog police will come to my house and demand I close my blog? I don’t know how the blog police work. Maybe. Note: Conversation reconstructed from actual dialogue. There will be no shutting down of this blog, unless there is an unexpected raid by the blog police.). When Ame...

American in Latvia: September 2010
http://americaninlatvia.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
I Don't Even Have a Title for This. Friday, September 24, 2010. So, I have been a bad blogger and have failed to update for the past week or so. I am really much too lazy right now to do a day-by-day, so I'll just write about what I can remember. We register runners; make the medals; hand out bags that contain coupons, candy bars, vitamins, a banana, and a loaf of bread; drink ten cups of free tea; "test" the bouncy house; work at the bag check (I know all my Latvian numbers! They gave us participation c...

American in Latvia: August 2010
http://americaninlatvia.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Lauku - the Countryside. Monday, August 30, 2010. Jokes, but apparently Latvians are unfamiliar with such riddles and my puns were met with stares. Most of the day at the country was spent walking around outside, eating vegetables straight from the garden, climbing the "mountain" (hill) and walking on the ruins of an ancient castle, and more eating. We had amazing crepes that Gatis insisted were pancakes (just because in Latvian they're called pankūkas. Does not mean they are pancakes! Me on the lake.

American in Latvia: "Where is your baby?"
http://americaninlatvia.blogspot.com/2011/02/where-is-your-baby.html
Where is your baby? Wednesday, February 9, 2011. The good thing about me being back in the hospital is that I have a treat for everyone - an exclusive look inside a Latvian hospital room! 5 Response to " Where is your baby? February 9, 2011 at 12:33 PM. That room must have been recently remodeled.there is no peeling floor or peeling paint on the walls, and the metal beds look white, almost , dare I say, fresh- not peeling gray / white. You must have gotten the Frequent Customer room upgrade! Monty Python...
