Dear students from Valle,
It was pleasure to meet you at Valle- your wonderful school, to see your classrooms, surroundings and feel the spirit of your site, experience Norway itself.
You are coming to Latvia, to Smiltene. I hope your teacher Ewa has already told you how students from Smiltene and Valle have been working together for nearly 2 years. Now it is time for you to take a floor- to try yourselves how things work.
Write, please, about your expectations when coming to Latvia. Think if you know anything about the country you are going to visit or how it would be like there. You may have a look at the very first entry of the blog where your colleagues have already expressed their knowledge (22th April 2009), but we would be like to know your personal thoughts.
And the next step- if you have any questions to ask – do not hesitate! Ask! The students (your peers, hopefully your new friends) from Smiltene Centre Secondary will reply you!
Mind! Even if you do not have anything to ask about the country or your stay here- ask about the project! Enquire about things and activities you are going to do together!
My dear new friends- two tasks altogether- your expectations and at least 3 questions (whether about practical issues in connection of your stay or about our school, students, project etc.)
We are really looking forward to seeing you in Smiltene,
Sincerely, Gundega
How is the people there, are they nice?
Are there a lot of malls there, with good clothes?
Is there a lot of crime in Latvia?
Well if we talk about our people... usually most of them are nice and helpful, of course with some exceptions. Malls with good clothes... Well I'm not right person to talk about shopping centers, because I'm not big shopping fan :( Crime... I don't think our crime level is big. The worst you can except is few drunken people in streets at night, that's all. :)
I think that people in Latvia are nice, if you are nice to them, they are nice to you.
Yes, there are a lot of good shopping centre in Riga and there are some shops in Smiltene.
I wouldn't say that there are a lot of crime in Latvia, so you don't have to worry.

I agree with Linda, that people are nice here...
I think here are a lot of good malls, maybe not so much in Smiltene, but in Riga (offcourse) are a lot of good shoping centres!
About crime level in Latvia, I dont think that in Latvia this level is verry high! again I can totally agree with Linda that you don't have to worry about it! :)
