Dos and Don'ts of a Trip to Latvija

  • Do bake cookies for your colleagues on the bus
  • Don't use 4 minutes mixed oats instead of 1 minutes instant oats for oatmeal-raisin cookies
  • Don't order anything with mushroom sauce in Biržai
  • Do give them your Lugan passport at the border, the U.S. one will need to be checked for 10 minutes
  • Don't stay anyplace besides where i stayed, if you like a fantastic breakfast, a fifteen foot three room single with a giant bed, flat screen tv, and free wifi.
  • Do bring your laptop to the seminar, it'll get boring at the end, boring (I'm writing this during the Belorussian's speech)
  • Don't save room for lunch during the first coffee break, the croissant sandwiches are way better than the buffet lunch (also when the Latvian told us about lunch he pronounced the T in "buffet lunch")
  • Do drink on the bus on the way home

i'm still eating the cookies, as ice cream topping, they're totally edible.

also, way to use up all the laundry detergent, i still need to do like 2984765 loads.

also something not to do, lose you passport on the way. When we were heading back from st. petersburg my passport fell out on the bus and it took like 10 minutes to find it before we could get back in LT. That was sucky i was freaking out even though i was positive i brought it on the bus it was nowhere to be found.

Also that doesn't sound like the kind of endorsement i'd be hoping for, for cookies. Try some they're totally edible. next time i'm eating something totally delicious and someone asks me about it that's what i'll say so that they don't try. Yeah go for it, it's totally edible.

This is my counter:
