Day 1:

Today I went to live for some time in other city. In the evening I was celebrating Ligo fest with my friends and relatives. Later I got an invite to private house party. We danced and singed. I have never seen so much food. Party organizers made a Swedish table. Everyone who pased this house were jealous. They looked how much fun we had and wanted to join us, and some were even dancing near fence. Later that night even more people joined out company and we all went to park. There was another dance party. We were dancing so attractive that other people on dance party joined our company. So we danced until the morning came.

Day 2:

Today I slept until noon after last night. One of local guys came to my home. He was vaunting about his succesful hunt near lake side. I guess, rest of that day stood still.

Day 3:

Today I got an invite to visit another interessting city-Aglona. Legend tells that God’s mother came to that city and people built church near area where she was seen by people. We walked all around city. Church and whole complex of buildings around it was amazing. Everything was in white color. We went inside church there were many beautiful icons. Later we went to balcony. There was a huge icon with God and his mother on it, and under icon were many pieces of jewelry. Above icon, on the ceiling was Eye of Providence symbol. Text on icon was in Latin. Under icon were displayed many pieces of jewelry with Eye of Providence on them. After seeing all of city’s sights I got invited to a pick nick near lake. I bought some food, drinks and went there. We had a great time and weather was wonderful. Not a cloud in the sky. Later I was singing for everyone on local stage. Everyone enjoyed my concert.
I stayed in that city until evening. Then people who invited me there gave me a ride back.

Day 4:

Today I went sightseeing in city where I lived now. I didn’t have much time because I was going back to my hometown that evening. There was graveyard that was completely destroyed during the war. I saw crosses that had bullet holes in them. Later I went to lake area. There were figures of humans and animals made out of wood. When we went up the mountain, there were small houses that were built by Germans during the war.

Germans were hiding in those houses(so they wouldn’t get shot). Lake itself was huge. Many people were fishing there. Water was transparent and I could see fishes, cancers in there. There were many beautiful white water lilies in the lake.
After trip to lake I packed my bags and went to bus station. I went back to my hometown.

Day 5:

Today I went shopping. I found something useful for my house. I wanted to buy a gift for my relative, but I just couldn’t find what I wanted. Today I got back to work. I got really exhausted at work. And today it was like in a sauna at my work.

Day 6:

This morning I went to watch new sci-fi movie called “Zero hour” with my friends. It was like private watch because we were only ones there. Everyone else usually is at work in the morning. Movie was about device which could stop all electric devices and it got stolen.
Later that day I went shopping. I bought something really cute at the new store.


Day 7:

Today was my birthday. I don’t know if I was working hard today or hardly working. :D After all of days work was done, I went to our building’s roof. I took food and drinks there. My work colleagues came to congratulate me. They gave me amazing gifts. One of them was flower made from candy. I love it!

We were eating and drinking red wine. We were joking about work stuff. Suddenly, uninvited guest came to our table. It was guy from my work. He’s desperately in love with me. I don’t like him, so I didn’t tell him about my birthday and invite him. He found out somehow and came. I treated him politely, even though, I didn’t want to see him there. I gave him piece of my birthday cake. After that he decided to clear roof from other people, so our company would be only ones there. That was really nice of him.

Day 8:

Today I went shopping. I bought new travel bag because old one ripped apart. I’ll never buy bags on sales again. I also bought present for my relative. At the mall I met Angel. Angel is one of my friends. He was guiding a tour and telling tourists about our city.

Day 9:

Today I went shopping and bought this cute pink dress. Later at work I laughed about this accident. I know, it’s not good to laugh at others, but it was so funny. Woman fell down the stairs. She looked like superman returning from the mall.

:D Her hands were straight, in front of her and she didn’t let go of shopping bags. Luckily, she didn’t break anything, but all the food in the bags was destroyed.

Day 10:

Today I’m going to visit Liepaja. I got an invite. Liepaja is beach city and is divided by river in two sides- left and right. I can’t wait to see local charity shop “Otra Elpa Pludmale”. This shop was made based on project I wrote, so I’m partly responsible for shop’s existence. When I arrived, person who invited me there met me at the bus station. They(people who invited me) had quite a program for me- in few days I’ll stay there. They planned to show me almost all city. First, I went to their home to leave my travel bag there and get something to eat. After we ate all our company went shopping. First shop we visited was “Otra Elpa Pludmale”. I was surprised to see Elina there and she was surprised to see me. Elina is other charity shop’s “Otra Elpa”, which is in Riga, owner. I looked around shop, we talked. I just love the design. After that we went to shoe store near and I bought beach shoes. We went through the city and I looked at city’s sights.
City itself was very beautiful. Liepaja is city of seven winds, so you can never know for sure what weather will be after few hours. After we went through city we came to beach. On the beach everyone was in his own element. No one argued or discriminated others. Everyone was nice and friendly. I had a great time. We were swimming in the sea, playing handball in the sand. I even got tanned. After all day on beach we went to look around left side of the city. There were many graffiti’s on the walls of buildings, but they all were about peace and friendliness. On every door of huge mall there is sticker that says, “You are welcome!” When you leave the mall, on the other side of the door there is sticker that says, “Thank you for visit! Come again!”
They showed me old time buildings that are left from Swedish times.

It was five o’clock when we arrived home. And the storm started. We were dining and talking about city. Later one of women said to me phrase from Lady Gaga’s song: “Don’t be a drag, be a queen!” Makeover party got started. We all put on new clothes, tried new looks and new styles of make-up. After we were finished I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror. Guys were shy.
Later that evening we went to see harbor. There were so many ships. I saw the only one battle ship that is left in my country. :D There was a small arena and young people were sitting and drinking beer. People in Liepaja are friendly. Young people were informals, but from different groups. They weren’t fighting or arguing like it happens in my city. After we looked around harbor we went home.

Day 11:

Today I got invited to diner. Before diner I went to look at other side of the city. I saw more historical buildings. We went to city’s market. There were selling many types of fruit, that was offer of the day, but everything was very expensive. There were many beautiful flowers. At the market I met Janis. This guy works at “Otra Elpa Pludmale” shop. Today was his day off.
Unfortunately, almost all shops were closed and I didn’t buy any souvenirs. After long walk around right side of Liepaja, I crossed bridge and came home. At 14 o’clock our company arrived to diner. We had such a great time. We were talking about our adventures and life in different cities. This family likes to go shopping to Los Angeles, they brought home many souvenirs and clothes. They gave me a bag filled with fashionable clothes and make-up.
After dinner party I took my stuff and went to spend a night at hotel.

Day 12:

Today in the early morning I returned home.

I saw Angel, he was showing tourists our city. I went to local shop to buy food. Then I went home. I prepared and went to work. After work I watched the news because many things have changed before I came home.

Day 13:

Today there was charity event (people donated their stuff to employees from charity shop “Otra Elpa”) on central market, but I didn’t attend because had other stuff to do. I donated my stuff to the Red Cross. We have so many charity organizations, but they still can’t help everyone who is in need. Many people are just to shy or ashamed to ask for help.

Day 14:

Today I had a busy day at work. At work I met colleague, who I haven’t seen in a while.

Day 15:

Today I went shopping because one of largest mall’s had a sale. I bought new pair of sunglasses. Old ones broke apart after another party.

They were selling clothes, bags make-up, but I didn’t like quality of those things. At work there was another scandal because our guests saw something that they shouldn’t see.

Day 16:

Finally, Saturday is here and I was planning to go sunbathing on the beach. Unfortunately, plans got ruined because someone broke into my garden and stole poles from the fence. Fence was lying on the ground. I ordered new fence poles made from tree. They got delivered very fast. I called my family members and together we fixed the fence.

Day 17:

Today those who invited me to Liepaja will come to my city. They won’t be long here, but, at least, I will show them part of the city. After I said goodbye to my guests, I went shopping. I bought new perfume. It has sweet and fresh smell. I was at home, suddenly my phone rang. It was my neighbor he told me that someone broke into our garden again. I was shocked. I called my relatives again. They came after hour and we went to garden. When we were driving by other gardens, it looked like tornado ruined their fences (not the burglars).

It looks like the same gang that was here yesterday came again.
