Number of days: 64 days Per capita: 25,000

This trip to the Baltic Sea took bus for the entire trip. The reason is that in the past, people always said that taking a train is the best way to travel in Europe. We also tried this method in 2014, and it took about the same time as this time, 64 days. Most of the time we took trains. We felt that actually buying a Eurail pass and taking trains is not necessarily the best way. For example, taking the train in France For VGA and Spanish Express, you need to book at the station. You also need to buy tickets in advance for the sleeper car. You need to buy additional tickets to travel to Switzerland, and you need to buy Eurostar separately (I personally feel that British Rail is the most convenient, and it is truly a one-ticket pass). Buy The purpose of Eurail was to save trouble, but it didn’t save any more trouble. Especially for the last stop, we wanted to go from Frankfurt to Amsterdam, but they didn’t let us use Eurail and forced us to buy a new ticket. It was simply discrimination.

So this time I have already decided to switch to the bus. First of all, I heard that the bus is cheap. In addition, the bus company has some websites. I have tried it a few times in China and have become familiar with the operation. I feel that point-to-point is at the city center or subway interchange. It is very convenient, and taking the bus during the day is a good choice to watch the scenery outside the window, so I wanted to take the bus for the whole journey or most of the time. Later we also did the same. The car we took was beautiful, there were toilets (no smell), and Free coffee and water, and some even have waiters delivering them to you, which feels really good.

It started to rain when we arrived in Riga, and until we left Riga, it was almost always cloudy even if it didn’t rain, so the experience in Riga was not as good as Tallinn, but I still have some memories.

On the bus to Riga, I sat next to a tall young man. He teaches university mathematics in Tallinn, but his family is in Riga, so he goes back once a week. He told me some local knowledge. Information, I asked him which restaurant had good food, and he introduced me to a fast food restaurant, which he said was very popular among young people, and even used his mobile phone to book the location for me. Later, I went to have a meal, ah, It was unpalatable and there were not many diners that day.

I asked Riga what specialties there are, and he said amber is very cheap. He also said that it usually costs less than 5 euros, and if it exceeds 10 euros, you should not buy it. Later, I went to several amber shops, but there was no one. Such good things all cost tens of euros or more. Hee hee, but they kindly told me after all, and we said goodbye happily after getting off the bus.

After getting off the bus, I first saw several large semicircular buildings. It turned out that there were various markets inside. The first one I entered was a fish market. Wow, the scale of the fish sold here scared me. I was surprised to see that there were so many varieties! I became excited just looking at it, thinking that I would have to work hard to eat fish this time. Unexpectedly, when I found the hotel I originally booked, I was told that they would give it to me without my consent. Instead, I was still required to walk four to five hundred meters with my backpack on my back. I was so angry that I had to give in. Fortunately, the new hostel was closer to the market and the old town, but the conditions seemed not as good as before. There was only a microwave but no stove, so how could I eat fish? I had no choice but to go back to the fish market and watch the locals buy one. I also bought a large piece of fish larvae, but my appetite was not satisfied and I had to buy some canned fish.

Beyond the fish market, there are three large round sheds. One sells fruits and vegetables, and the other sells meat, milk, bread and meat and dairy products. There are also many varieties. Finally, there is a market for small commodities such as clothes, which is close to the outside. There are a long row of awnings, and some people are selling agricultural and sideline products. The things outside are cheaper than those inside. For example, there is a kind of fried sugar dough that only costs a dime (European). It makes me feel like I am back under the roof of socialism. I I bought a bunch of cherries, radishes, pears and a bunch of food for a full meal.

The next day I went out to browse in the rain with an umbrella, and still searched according to the pictures. I found 14 of the 15 originally scheduled tourist attractions, which was a good achievement. However, my shoes got wet after walking for a whole day. I met a young man and woman walking towards me on the stone road. I thought they were lovers, but it turned out they were not. The girl was just helping the man. The young man told me that his girlfriend had her birthday today, but she was not here today. Riga, he wanted to give her a special gift. He just wanted to find a hundred people he didn't know on the street to say "Happy Birthday!" to her in front of his mobile phone video camera! He would read her name later, but you have to know , this girl is probably Russian, her name is very long, probably something like Avdeyevna Avdotyyushka, fortunately, I was in the third grade of elementary school in a foreign language school, so I am not afraid of this, After listening to it twice, I basically rushed out of my mouth.

On the day I moved in, I returned to the dormitory and saw a middle-aged and elderly woman sitting on the sofa in the living room chatting with a young man. I just listened to her talking non-stop. I was thinking about the relationship between the elderly and young people. So many words? It turned out that he (she) was in the same room as us. The young man left the next day, leaving me and this eldest cousin. She started chatting with me in very fluent English. She started by saying The owner of this shop is a Russian. How bad is it? She said she was Dutch, and then she said she was retired. I was about to ask her how old she was, and she immediately said that actually I haven’t reached retirement age yet, but I earn a lot of money. Enough money I need, why can't I retire, I want to enjoy life and so on, I quickly said your idea is right, and then he started to complain to a new Russian woman who had walked out, she said You see, she didn’t even say hello to us. It’s so rude. I thought maybe it was because we were all talking, so she didn’t have the chance to say hello to you.

Where is HELLO, but she didn’t think so. , seems to have great prejudice against Russians. This super talkative chatterbox chatted with me, a stranger, for most of the day, so I had to stop and say that I was going to visit the city (otherwise my energy would be very high for a long time and I would often not understand what she was saying. Too tired).

There is an old restaurant on the street that marks the year 1221.

It is small but very popular. Taking advantage of the after-effects of eating deer steak in Tallinn last night, I wanted to try the same thing. The pleasure of enjoying delicious food can last for eight or nine hundred years in a small shop. This is unimaginable in China. Unfortunately, this small shop is full. The waiter said that if you are patient, you can wait until after nine o'clock in the evening to come back. This is unlikely, no matter what. He said he was already hungry and it was hard to tell whether he would be able to find this store again in the evening, so he had to give up.

I fried the roe and cooked the noodles in the evening, but the roe was very fishy, ??so I barely swallowed it because I spent a lot of money. Alas, the decision was wrong.
