Unce upon a time....there was no electricity.

Such lanterns are used by tourists in Cesis castle museum.

Can you imagine life without electricity now? It`s hard... but sometimes it`s nice to forget about electricity: suddenly there are things you can`t do and there are new things you can do, working and living conditions change, different thoughts come to your mind. In winter 2005/2006 we had a big storm in Latvia and almost all households, shops etc. were without electricity for a day and even more. We were sitting in dark at candle lights, drinking strong tea and talking, talking, talking... Suddenly we got so much time to spend just on one another, no TV, no books, no computer. Great!

What`s wrong with the law&order?.....

Some people can brake your property, threaten your employees, but police just laugh and say that they don`t want to get into it, tell them to calm down and drive away. Next few days you get misleading information from police - one says that there is nothing they can do, other says that those people will get sued. It`s like I have to know how police should work, otherwise I`ll get fooled....There is definitely something wrong with the law&order. Seems, that the ones who brake law have more rights. It`s miserable if people can`t trust the police!
