Nice post, MrNumbers!
Although Google-Translator is not very good with Latvian to German translation I think I could understand the text. ;)

[MrNumbers]

If some of the text remained completely misunderstood, ask me for translation ;)

Hi MrNumbers,
you gave me a gift - a great cup.

There is a picture with a cat on that cup.
Does the cat has a story at your home in Riga?

Greetings

[MrNumbers]

Hi, kettlefish!

Yes, the cat has his own story. You can read it in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat_House_(Riga)

More text is in the Russian version of this article, so using google-translate you can find out more, just switch the language of that article.

This I found in German:

Thank you MrNumbers

[MrNumbers]

You are welcome, kettlefish! ;) I am happy that you like the cup

[Benny]

My cup looks slightly different.

MrNumbers told me on the fair that the cat has a famous position in the history of Riga. Now I now the story (I forgot to google it ).
Thanks MrNumbers, of course also again for the nice cup!

MrNumbers,
we have here in Germany many stories in different towns.

For example:

Bremen: "Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten" - "The Bremen town musicians"
Hameln: "Der Rattenfänger von Hameln" - "The Pied Piper of Hamelin"

You are welcome! It is great that you like the cup too
That was the idea - to bring different cups Maik and Melanie have one more type of a cup, with two cats ;)

I knew about Bremen musicians. I will tell you more: we have Bremen musicians here in Riga! Take a look:

And here is the better photo: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/l ... 5%ABra.jpg

But about The Pied Piper of Hamelin I didn't know so it was interesting to read about his story.
