Rules to follow in Riga

1. Bring an odd number of flowers — even numbers are for funerals

In Latvia (and most Eastern European countries), flowers given as a gift must be in an odd number. An even number of flowers is associated with death and is only appropriate for funeral wreaths.

• Where: Etiquette
• Tip: This matters primarily when giving flowers as a gift to a host. Any market or florist will know the convention.
