Extractions: Since the 1960s Riga has enjoyed a reputation as an innovative centre in the arts. Latvia’s young avant-garde attracts considerable attention, not just locally but internationally too. In photography, the "Riga Poetic School" has developed a distinctive style. Inta Ruka is one of the country’s outstanding photographic artists, while Ivars Seleckis, Juris Podnieks (1950-92) and Ilona Bruver are the best known documentary film-makers. National poet The Hanseatic city of Riga With a population of one million, Riga is the largest city on the Baltic. It was founded in 1201 on the site of a Livonian-Latvian fishing village that was already an important trading centre. According to legend, every hundred years the devil lifts his head out of the Daugava river and asks: "Is Riga finished?" And it is said that if ever the answer is "yes", the city will sink beneath the waves - so it is ceaselessly being embellished and added to year by year. Flowering custom

Extractions: Latvia Culture Few Latvian artistic figures or works are internationally known. The country's literature was kickstarted in the 19th century with the writing of a national epic poem called Lacplesis (The Bear Slayer) by Andrejs Pumpurs, which was based on traditional folk tales. The giant of Latvian literature is Janis Rainis, whom Latvians claim might have enjoyed the acclaim of Shakespeare or Goethe had he written in a less obscure language. Latvian verses known as dainas are often short and poetic and have been compared to the Japanese haiku. In the 19th century, great collections of folk lyrics and tunes were made by Krisjanis Barons. In fact, over 1.4 million folk lyrics and 30,000 tunes have been written down in Latvia. The first major Latvian painter was Janis Rozentals, who painted scenes of peasant life and portraits in the early 20th century. Vilhelms Purvitis and Janis Valters were the outstanding landscape artists of the time. Karlis Rudevics, a leading figure in Latvia's Gypsy community, is known for his translations of Gypsy poetry and his striking paintings inspired by Gypsy legends. Latvian is one of only two surviving languages of the Baltic branch of the Indo-European language family, and speakers of Latvian regard it as an endangered species. Just over half the people in the country speak it as their first language. The language spoken in east and west Latvia has dialectical differences from the standard Latvian spoken in the central portion of the country.

Extractions: About Latvia Those who dub Latvia the 'Switzerland of the Baltics' need a thorough talking-to. For a start, a tenth of the country is below sea level, sometimes up to 50m, and Latvia toes a most-un-Alpine line in being the small, flat and largely boggy meat in the sandwich between its Baltic neighbours - Estonia and Lithuania. Lat packs a lot in though: Riga, its vibrant coastal capital, is a chief visitor magnet. From Riga, it's an easy day trip to the coastal resort of Jurmala, the Sigulda castles overlooking the scenic Gauja river valley and the Rastrelli palace at Rundale.

Extractions: Shaking hands during introductions is customary, as is using professional titles. Using a first name after a first meeting is considered disrespectful. Use formal names, unless invited to do otherwise. Latvian business people feel an obligation to entertain foreign business guests after normal working hours. Invitations to their homes are rare, however, so obtaining one is considered an honor. Latvian businesspeople shun discussing business in social settings; however, if a host initiates the subject, it is proper to join in the conversation. Discussing Russian policy in a complimentary manner is not suggested. DECISION MAKING Details of agreements need to be spelled out clearly before agreement. Many Latvians are new to private business and may not strictly adhere to the terms of a signed agreement; not many laws pertaining to business transactions are yet in place. Before signing agreements in Latvia, you should always verify if your prospective business associates actually have legal rights to the holdings or firm they claim to represent. Keep in mind that Latvian bureaucracy may stall some decisionmaking.
