water level temporarily lowered in the big river, leaving behind crunchy paths, alien textures, vintage cola bottles.

Latvia - Riga
I played tourist in Riga. Just strolling trough the old town, looked at historical building, visited churches and parks and learned a bit from its history. Not going to bore you with many details about Riga, what you could find in a better way online, but post some impressions on my walk trough the city, before i found a quite place for the night just at the bank of the river Daugava.

During World War II, the Zemgales bridge was blown up in battle on June 29, 1941, and again in October 1944. It was never rebuilt..

5, 10, 11 and 13 ? :3c
5. favourite song in your native language?
Oh, this is a tough one. For modern music I'd probably say "Kom hem nu" by Lars Winnerbäck, off his album Daugava, or "Flyktingarna" by Eskefeurat. For older music probably "Visa i Midsommartid".
10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?
Kuken, probably (literally means "the dick"). At least that's what tends to slip out :-D but the one I just love the mouthfeel of is "sillstrypare" (herring strangler)!
11. favourite native writer/poet?
Oooh, another hard one... for older poets probably Gustaf Fröding or Karin Boye. For younger ones Daniel Boyacioglu. Fave author I must say John Ajvide Lindqvist, my favourite author to never re-read :-D
13. does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders?
Svenskbiten (the Swedish piece). You can never take the last piece of something, a cake or a dish or something, you just keep slicing it in half indefinitely until it reaches absurdity. Very weird custom!
