Eden

”...and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.“ The small and idyllic Latvian town of Kuldiga has been recently declared EDEN — a European Destination of Excellence. The title is hardly a hyperbole, with Kuldiga's picturesque and peaceful cityscape. Every year, a number of people equal to Kuldiga's population leaves the country. In Latvia, as in many post-Soviet countries, female population exceeds male.
