Museum of Occupation, Riga Latvia
The Museum of Occupation is next to the Tourist Information Office in Riga with free admittance. It is depressing but a traveler would be negligent not to learn about a country's history. Poor Latvia underwent 51 years of occupation. First the Soviets, then Nazis, then Soviets once again. Inhuman conditions and brutal Siberian exile for entire families. It's no wonder the older people in the Baltics don't smile. They've been repressed for their entire lives.
It is estimated that over 6 million people died in the Russian gulags!

Riga. The Fabric of the City
The film explores the different layers that constitute Riga city similarly to various wool threads in a colorful fabric. The short mentions the terrain and the history of Riga city zoning as the main elements in shaping the planning of the city, and discusses the city zoning from the time when the territory of Riga held a simple settlement for knights, the clergy and merchants, to the present day, when multistoried buildings, as well as modern trade and business centers are built, at the same time paying a lot of attention to preserving the cultural heritage.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
