And their National Opera is by far the best in the world. Everybody sings. Literally. They won their independence with a "singing Revolution" and where most countries have National stadiums they have a National Singing Bowl !

I don't know about Estonia, but I don't think that the living standards of the Russians in Latvia have significantly dropped. But I guess in Latvia there's much more interaction between Latvians and Russians, even their languages are quite closely related.
Btw, Latvians also sing (and dance) very well! I was really impressed.

I believe there was another thread about Estonians.

You're right. Usually I'm more attracted to guys physically, but in Latvia I had no time to look at guys because the gals were just amazing!!
Where's the other thread about Estonia btw?
