 ==Culture/language==
 Latvian is a member of the Baltic language family, which is only related to Lithuanian (not close to Russian).  Young people do tend to speak English, and we didn't have trouble getting around without knowing any Latvian.
-There is a very significant Russian minority in Latvia (~30%, or higher in Riga), and there is a lot of tension between the two groups.  Individually, they were both nice to us, but each was unhappy with the other groups.  There are a number of people with Russian heritage without citizenship (to any country)-- they need to learn Latvian to be eligible.
