Million Reasons
A friend of mine directed me to this site, listing many reasons why Latvia is a great country. Some of them are true, some not.
Here’s the sampling:
Latvia is the best country in the world
…because only in our woods, while going mushroom-picking one can find a well-hidden Maserati Quattroporte.
…because only our government goes to China on an experience exchange visit.
…because employees at McDonalds make more than our teachers.
…because in our version of “Who wants to be a millionaire?“, one can win 50,000 lats.
… because in Latvia, a bottle of beer costs less than a bottle of water.
… because our inflation is easily noticed. The larger the inflation, the larger the Prime Minister.
… because only in Latvia, we have a president who doesn’t pretend to be stupid. He really is.
… because America has a Freedom statue, we have a monument.
… because Latvian Prime Minister soon won’t fit into a TV set to announce the latest inflation figures.
… because our government is very stable. You can cry, you can picket, you can demonstrate. You can sue it, but nothing will bring it down.
… because only in Latvia, you can say I love my fatherland and be called a fascist.
