Too long in Riga
I've been here too long. While the city is beutiful and I enjoy the people I hang out with it's to small and untill I teach my girlfriend to play something decent enough to stake her for SNG's or something at the Casino I can't really grind while I'm traveling with her. Did anyone say the rake of life? It's not that bad, I've only spent about 500-600€ or so on crap I don't enjoy so far, but I really itch to play a bit. I guess it's just a buy in or two down the drain but yea, I wish I'd have time to grind a bit without feeling like a super crappy boy friend. Anyone knows how to solve this? I'm thinking making a schedual or something.
Went to a good resturant or two. http://www.fellini.lv/ was really good but a little expensive. I think I spent 120 lvl (that's like 160€ or something) including tips on a dinner for two, but the food was really good and I loved the service. It was really relaxed and the wine list was nice. They had a Amarone della Valpolicella I wanted to try out but I can't really bring myself to spend 100€ on a bottle of red wine a tuesday evening. Had some sicilian Nero wine that I can't remmember the name of but I kind of liked. The Swordfish was the 2nd best fish I've ever eaten.
Yesterday I had a really bad Kebab-plate for lunch and then me and the girlfriend went to some resturant I think was called ”province” with Dan and his wife and then took a trip to the Casino. Glimne went into a private room and played with a chess board and the really big Russian security guy that informed us that we couldn't be there and that it was a private room looked somewhat confused by his actions. I think he was somewhat unsure if Dan was just too rich to give a fuck or old and not 100% clear in the head. I found it hilarious. I'm not useally intimidated by security people but the guys at the casino, while very nice, are among the biggest and most scary looking security people I've ever seen. Most of them make me think of the Russian mecinaries in ”Rock'n'rolla”. To put it in short: I won't mess with this people.
I'm going to upload some picture of the casino when I get home. It looks really cool and overall it feels like a good place to play poker. I saw Lex ”Raszi” Veldhuis in the casino bar yesterday. That guy is scary as fuck, I hope I don't end up at the same table with him tommorow.
Going to go to a resutrant called ”Gastronome” and with my girl tonight and then take a trip to the sky bar at Radisson. She's turning 25 today. Glimne managed to say that she turns ”a quarter of a century” which may or may not have been the best thing he's ever said.
Wish me luck tommorow. I miss my cat.

They have a fanstastic restaurant in Riga called Vincents. It's a star restaurant with a fantastic chef. It might cost around 100-160 (depending on wine, how many dishes etc.) euros each to eat there, but in Stockholm you pay 3x the price for the same quality. Definitely recommend if you can spend the cash. |
