Clues to look for
Latvian has long marks over vowels (ā, ē, ī, ū) and letters like š and ž. Flat forest and farmland, wooden houses, and the occasional Soviet-era block.
Driving side
Cars in Latvia drive on the right. So do Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Faroe Islands, which are also in Northern Europe. Most of the world drives on the right, so this alone won't narrow it down much: check the signs next.
