Here we are in Lithuania/ klaipeda. We did Latvian folk dance with Lithuanians. I learned that they have pretty similar history. We visited some museums and aquarium to see dolphins. We had had good time.

Culture shocks in Latvia

– They don’t kiss each other when they meet.
– They aren’t talkative as much as Turkish people.
– They don’t go out with pajamas. I did it once and they were looking at me like I am weirdo.
– They don’t have bad words in their language. In my language you can write poem with bad words but here there isn’t even single one bad word. Some of them are using Russian bad words for that.
-People are so calm in traffic and THEY GIVE WAY TO PEOPLE WHO IS TRYING TO ACROSS WAY. If you do that in Ankara , you may die with suffer.
– They are tall.

Seriously, that’s quite difficult to see shorter people then me. I have middle height for my country and Ifeel like hobbit when I am walking with them. The interesting part is the Latvıan women are wearing high heels. Just doesn’t make any sense they are tall and wearing high heels. Well I am little Turkish guy who is trying to walk with them.

– Food
They have interesting food taste. What I mean by that ? I learned that If someone says it’s traditional Latvian food I should stay away from that. I usually try some of pieces if they ask me ( I am still trying to find something interesting to eat)
Difficult to find many stuff in Balvi. If I find some of them but there is another problem. EXPENSIVE prices. ( Spicy, Beef , Yogurt etc )

– Celebrations
These people are celebrating everything. They have events for every special days. They wear well , smelling good and coming together.
They like to dancing, singing. I have seen a lot of people who can play piano. it’s like nothing for them they don’t find it special gift or ability. It’s totally super power to me.

We prepared another Turkish event. This one needed more time for preparation. People were really interested with this one. I cooked some Turkish food and offered them. I am glad that I have this kinda opportunity which gives me chance to change some of stereotypes about my people.
It was quite nice. I am hoping to do this again.

My mentor and her father went to forest for cut this cute tree. They offered me one more tree for myself but I refused that I hope they didn’t offense.
This was interesting experience, I also learned that each Latvian family can cut one tree for legally.
İn my country it’s totally forbidden.
