My own little corner

I live in Latvia (historically Lettonia, or Lettland),is a country in Northern Europe. Latvia shares land borders with Estonia to the north, Lithuania to the south — and both Russia and Belarus to the east. It is separated from Sweden in the west by the Baltic Sea. The capital of Latvia is Riga (Latvian: Rīga). Latvia has been a member state of the European Union since May 1, 2004 and a member of NATO since March 29, 2004.

I live in Riga, which is situated on the Baltic Sea coast on the mouth of the river Daugava. Riga is the largest city in the Baltic states.
the city is particularly notable for its extensive Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) architecture.
I live in a so called "sleeping region", 15-20 min from the center, which is a good point, since the center is a noisy place, and also the real estate there cost huge.
But no wonder why, with a such an architecture, in the old town.
