>Have you ever been to any Baltic country?

All 4 of them (if you count Poland, counting Finland or Sweden would be even harder). Here is a Latvian joke about Estonia: "no sex or future in Estonia". I have been in pretty much any European country, minus Portugal. No idea where the racism idea comes from, though.

There are only 3 Baltic countries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltic_states), Neither Poland, Finland nor Sweden are Baltic.

Well that's the joke. Other than that I find Gdansk more similar to Riga than Warsaw.
