I'm a foreigner.
I want to become a sexy latvian.
So what do I have to do to become one.
Maybe if your dress sense was less 'thrown together',
and aimed more at building an image of self confidence
and good posture.
A lot tof girls probably don't like beards.
Hair... more like: "A rubbish bin on your head" !!! (latv. expression for 'shaggy, scruffy')
Yes!
Rudis followed the latvian advice
and decided to give up his old style,
seduced into undergoing a transformation.
Mission No. 1: The Hairdressers!
It won't be punk... or elegant.
More the casual look.
I think it's going to turn out ok.
Oh, so much hair...
Straight hair! Amazing!
wow... straight hair.
Mission No. 2: To get advice from a stylist.
Not totally comfortable, but totally sexy!
Here I've chosen some scarves
to give you a traditional Latvian look.
Traditional women's skirts have a similar striped pattern.
Rudis gets the first opinion of independent expert...
...Maija Rozīte
because looking good is part of Maija's daily routine.
It looks good on him.
I think the stylists did a very good job.
Through the next experiment Rudis wants to find out
how people tradtionally get to know eachother in Latvia.
Look! Can you see the blonde woman over there?
I like the look of her a lot.
But she's Latvian.
What should I do?
How do I chat up a Latvian girl?
- Hi. How's it going?
- Well, I speak a bit of Latvian, but...
...what do you do, when you see a woman like that?
- I'd just say: "I'd like to get to know you."
I don't know. Maybe just ask her something?
- But what?... Don't know...
What do you think she'd be interested in?
Dynamo Riga?
Ice hockey? All Latvians like ice hockey.
- Ok...
- The best thing for me would be
to ask for help with something.
Like: "Can you help me please?
I'm a foreigner."
That's all.
Yes, and if you have a city map
you can ask,
if she could show you the way to the opera house.
That would be the best thing.
And then, slowly, you'd start a conversation.
So, let's see how successful the advice
that Rudis chose turned out to be the most effective.
I'm a foreigner.
I need to know how to get to the national opera house.
- Could you help me please? - Yes.
Maybe I could invite you for a coffee?
- Yes. - For a chat?
I'm Rudis.
Do you have a moment?
I'd like to have a chat with you. I'm a foreigner.
Can I buy you a coffee? If you have the time?
- Or we could got to a tea room? - Thanks, that's very kind.
There's a nice tea house over there.
- Where do you come from?
- Switzerland.
The effectiveness of the sexy Latvian image
and the openess of the Latvian women takes Rudis by surprise.
Rudis feels sexier in Latvia than in his homeland.
Ask Rudis youself for a more detailed description of the experiment,
For in this ocean of Latvian beauties
Rudis simply disappeared from the camera's eye.
