المعنى
Asking for the location of a store.
خلفية ثقافية
Latvians are very proud of their local rye bread (rupjmaize). When you find the 'veikals', look for the bakery section! Most stores in Latvia are open on Sundays, unlike in some Western European countries like Germany. In small towns, the local store is often the social heart of the community where news is exchanged. Plastic bags are not free in Latvian stores; you are encouraged to bring your own 'maisiņš'.
Look for the signs
In Latvia, grocery stores are often marked with 'Pārtika' (Food) signs even if the store name is different.
Alcohol hours
Stores in Latvia cannot sell alcohol after 10:00 PM. Don't ask for the 'veikals' for beer late at night!

Use 'atrodas'
If you want to sound more like a native, use 'Kur atrodas...' instead of 'Kur ir...' when asking for landmarks.
