After job

Autumn/winter• Indoor drinking, opera

(really cheap compared to italy), frozing activities: 5 min outside in January and you will become an ice lolly!

• T.A.I Sunday Thanks Anna it’s Sunday: italian gastronomical exhibition at my place!

Spring/Summer• The city you have never

known: Riga as soon as sees a + behind temperature completely changes!

Surving

• If you are Italian and your new friends want to taste something Italian, looking for ingredients at supermarket without knowing latvian could be … challenging! But you can always have a lasagna party

• Always if you are Italian, from the South, you just have to think about a warm 15° August on the beach, ALWAYS.
