Innovative Aussie Tips to help make your life in a foreign land a little easier. . 1.Your opportunity is to buy grass and flower seeds for less than 10 LVL and dig up the small barren dirt areas near your Riga apartment on the street verge. An example of Aussie greening in progress is on Stabu street between Barona and Caka. The parks in Riga receive new dirt and grass seeds every 10 years giving old ladies many years of sweeping success creating barren areas. So if you do not do this your home environment will stay looking like Soviet times and not the New Latvia we expect. . 2. Go to this website http://www.abc.net.au/services/podcasting and select the Australian Radio Programmes you would like to listen to on your MP3 Player. They download automatically each week. Then buy a Belkin FM transmitter from Lattelekom or other mobile phone retailers. Plug in the transmitter in to your MP3 player then listed to Aussie programs in your car or at home via normal FM. . 3. Aussie Samaritan attitude gets a lot of leverage in Latvia as Latvians are not yet very helpful to fellow Latvians that are stangers to them. Stock your car with ride-side assistance tools. As you drive around Latvia on occassion you will come across people needing help with their car. They will tell you stories of how no one stopped for hours and you can see their minds ticking over as to why someone that can not speak Latvian is willing to help them. A Samaritan Aussie in Latvia is similar to a child let loose in a lolly shop. |
