    Nice to see a member from Latvia here that gives ous some updates :)


    I have some questions for u:


    1. How is the intrest for volleyball in Latvia, and then first of all for women? How is the future looking?
    2. When I was in Riga in autumn 2009, I saw a lot of very tall girls, in a week maybe 2-3 over 200cm, and I noticed the girls was almost as tall as the guys. Was it just a coincidence, or is it common with tall girls in Latvia?
    3. How is the financial situation for Latvia nowadays? When I was there, it was not very good, I remember many people asked for money and ciggarettes on the streets. The salaries was also very low I remember.


    Btw, I have never seen so many really beautiful girls as when I was in Riga! :)

    Quote from Anton1989

    In general as much as the construction workers from Poland that comes to Sweden dreams about being able to buy a meal at McDonalds in the future, so extremly much, yes.

    As You see- Poland is the best. From other way- why do You pay Them so less?

    Its because they are easy victims for they dont earn much at home and many of them cant speak english, or at least very bad, so they dont know they get paid way to less.
