Last week NEW ladies

I am currently engaged to a wonderful woman from Kyrgyzstan and have to applaud you on your explanation on what they have to offer along with what they are looking for in a relationship. I too have studied Philosophy, and it has given me allot of depth when dealing with our relationship, along with the ability to understand their way of culture and the way they think. I can only give you a brief description on it and attest to their ability to look at life like no other Westernized Women, At first she was very defensive with her feelings and did not want to discuss "LOVE" I did not understand this at first, since we talk about it all the time. (Americans) I will never forget her first email, and the words she used to describe her feelings, "You are a wonderful man, very polite, romantic and thoughtful. I love your soul". This took me by surprise, ( I love your soul) part. We never think like this, and this confused me at first. I found it flattering and interesting as well, as only one should. I later ask her to explain the meaning of it, and with the explanation came a whole new way of looking at love, feelings and their inner self when it comes to the thinking process of true love and commitment. I had to understand so much more than just our simple way of courting if you will. It took her 2 months to really trust me and open up with her feelings. I am a very patient man and have come to realize the benefit if this as well over time. The most rewarding aspect of this all is when she finally did open up and "let me in". I have never felt so much, nor been treated so well before in a relationship when it comes to ours. (and I was married for 12 years to a "Southern Girl"). The ability to share everything and want to is incredible. The loyalty, honesty and faithfulness is beyond approach. I just wanted you to know that reading your information on your site explained so much more to me. Good work and keep it up. She has such wonderful characteristics and a incredible look on life. I look forward to a wonderful life with her for many years to come. Sincerely PS: Plus the Roses do help! Thank you for an informative and honest site. It's a great relief to finally get some straight information and answers on the topic of Russian-American courtship. Keep up the good work! Mark, USA |

Riga's History
The small Riga River wound like a
narrow ribon along marshes and sands
and flowed into the Daugava River.
Near the river's bend a settlement of
Liv merchants and craftsmen was
located (in the area of present day
Audeju and Kaleju streets in Old Town
of Riga). 
They used to build low houses
made of pine or fir logs with straw or
reed roofs and basements made of
boulders os oak-wood wells. They
worked in smithies, built vessels,
traded at the Market Square. Foreign
merchants who travelled by the
Daugava River were frequent visitors
there.
A little bit further, close to the Daugava, the second Liv settlement appeared - the fishermen's one (in the area of Marstalu and Brivibas streets). These two settlements were connected with castles of Livs and Latgals and settlements of craftsmen situeted at the second most important river - the Gauja - by the only ground road - the Sand Road. It followed the path of present-day Brivibas street and turned to Liv settlement near the Powder Tower.
In spring 1200 Pope in his bull declared
crusade against Livonia peoples. From
that time more and more often foreign
ships arrived to the harbour on the
Riga River - not with goods but with
armoured knights. At last bishop Albert
arrived - with knights and squadron of
23 ships. for the whole summer they
negotiated with local elders and
examined the harbour.
And on one autumn day guets arrived to bishop Albert. They were chiefs of Livs from castles upon the Daugava River and Turaida region who had been christened. When the feast was at its peak the bishop secretly ordered to close all the outer doors and windows. After that he declared to the invited that they were his captives and unless they yielded to his will they would be shackled and sent to exile. And bishop Albert demanded the land near Riga settlements to be given to him and his people. Having received the promise bishop set chiefs of Livs free. But he took thirty sons of the chiefs as hostages and brought them to Germany. That was how the building of Riga had been started.
