The unfinished symphony...

...I mean blog post.
Written after our return from Riga, this was all I managed to write down. Better late than never, and better something than nothing.

So Amit and I boarded the M/S Cinderella and set sail for Riga, Latvia. A quick look around the terminal told us that this wasn't a popular destination among young people - we were the only two people between 15 and 55. We ended up doing quite a bit of walking around the ship just to make sure we didn't miss anything that was going on. But we could rest assured... nothing was happening. We did spend quite a bit of time at the casino, watching people throw away tons of money at roulette and blackjack. We tried to figure out how we could beat the system, but as hard as we tried, we just couldn't do it. We did play a little ourselves, too. I put in 1 Crown into a slot machine, and got 4 back. I decided my luck was up and cashed out. Later, Amit put in a 20, and a few pulls later, ended up with 46. We re-invested 6 of those, and promptly lost them, so figured we should stop. Amit thought he had roulette figured out, so he put 5 SEK on red. But the croupier told him there was a 20 Crown minimum, so he put another 15 down. Black 22. Later we saw a machine that had 1 credit left on it. Amit pushed the button, won 5 SEK, cashed out, and we quit, happy to be 8 crowns ahead.
