Today Latvia gets 93 years old. 18th November is our Independence proclamation day - it happened in 1918. Two most important things I wish to Latvia today - united, harmonious society (but based on Latvian language and values, as it's Latvia here after all) and economical prosperity (including social equality). We are able to reach both of them!
Latvian parliament house and government's building both displays stories about independence related themes at "Staro Riga 2011" - in the upper picture you see parliament building which is lightened as a huge Latvian flag, while in lower pictures Cabinet of Ministers building, which displays video film about Latvian flag (you see a scene with Latvian flag in Everest, as one of the places it has been).
