low in customer service - Salt & Pepper Cafe |

cook at
Salt & Pepper Cafe on Palasta Street the REFUSED
(yes refused) my simple and quite eatery normal
request to take a knife and cut a hamburger in half
before it was served so my wife and I could share the
tasty morsel. Its
your choice; but, TGI Fridays is only 3 blocks
away and the service is FAR superior and the burger
almost as tasty though slightly higher in price.
TGIF will be my choice from now on. |

your Cash
From July 2006 a new law for incoming visitors
declaring cash came into effect in Latvia. According

their cash if they have more than EUR 10,000 with
them. So far, only three people have declared such
sums.

New Airlines may fly in/out Riga
The president of Riga International Airport, Dzintars
Pomers, has announced that in spring 2007 several new
airlines will be flying to Riga. The capacity of the
airport allows for twice as many passengers as there
are now, he says. There will be between three and 10
new airlines, but the exact number is not yet known.
Pomers says he will welcome more low-cost airlines,
but he understands the tough competition hazards due
to the aggressive price policy of Ryanair, which has
until now been delighted with its business in Riga.

As
of next summer all passengers travelling outside the
EU or from third countries into the EU must declare
cash of over EUR 10,000.
