Latvian Ethnographic open-air museum 1
The first article will focus on the buildings in the open-air museum. I should be ashamed, because I don't know much about Latvian culture, despite being Latvian.
All buildings were made from wood and had reed roofs. Latvians originally were farmers...

How to post articles
This might be a stupid thing to do, but as one of the "people encouragement" actions I decided to write an article on "How to post articles". Some of you might see this as useful while others will just ignore it. Anyway, enjoy ^^
