This post is like a plaintive nocturne

From The Baltic Times, (Which covers Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) we get a handy list of "10 things not to say to a Latvian woman."

They include the obvious:

9) "Oh man, you still live with your parents!"

The subtle:

7) "You Russian girls are really sexy." That one speaks for itself.
8) "You kind of remind me of that girl in t.A.T.u." See point (7).

(Get it? They're Latvian, not Russian!)

The obscure:

2) "Your voice is like a plaintive nocturne." She will think you're making fun of her.

The obvious, but for the wrong reasons:

3) "Your melons are very juicy." She will confusedly insist that Latvia doesn't grow melons.

And the telling and culturally loaded:

1) "You are very beautiful." She will only think you're a stupid foreigner if you do.

Also of note is the list of "10 things not to say to a Latvian cop" which has surprisingly little overlap.
