The Flea Market (Latgales tirgus)

The official name of the flea market in Latvian Language is Latgales Tirgus and this is what is written on a sign in its entrance.

The Flee Market in Riga is a place where you can find very cheap second hand products like: electronic equipments, suitcases, old coins, books, and basically many many old products that are sold for very cheap prices.

Most of the sellers in the market are Russian.

Note that taking pictures is not allowed in The Flee Market, but One place where I did manage to find a picture of it is here.

Personally I like markets since there is an atmosphere there of the working people that are buying and selling.

I bought in the flea market a Nikon Camera, in a very low price of 20 LV (including charger + memory card of 4 GB)

I expected this camera to stop working but surprisingly it still works and had no problems since I bought it a year ago, so I guess that I made a good deal there :)
