It seems like the closer we are, the more homogeneous we become. One thing is to use this globalization for the best purposes and the other is to abuse the simple access to information and traditions from other countries.

The same happens with Mexico, we have our own traditions for this part of the year called "day of the dead ones" but it is being rapidly replaced by the U.S. "Halloween". Younger generations dont even care about the mysticism behind our own culture.

I didn't know about Latvian culture but it seems very interesting and folklore-like. You just made me want to read more about it.

You already know i like your art,so i won't mention that :P
