done, hope it helps you
though I have to admit I have no opinion on Latvia, all I know is that life there ain't all that great from the financial point of view, lots of poor people and such. I've never been to Japan, but I def. know a lot more about the culture there, history, etc.
So point being, Latvia is kinda off the radars, not much info is really circling the world so it's kinda hard to have an opinion on something you know very little or nothing of.
Only reason I have Latvia memorized well in my head is from my school days when we had to learn about Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - in Croatian language, there are actually 4 names in this mix, since two of those are used for Lithuania, but beats me, too lazy to remember it now ♦
