Geography Now! Lithuania 

Time to finish up the Baltics. What better way than to put Keith in my mom's muumuu. Oh by they way, Feel free to send Anyone on the GN team Fanmail! Not just me. Ken, Keith, Noah, Kaleb and introducing my new research / production assistant KAI! (You see him for a brief moment in the skit at 2:05

I am simple Latvian.. I see Lithuania.. I upvote.

Fun fact: Lithuania 🇱🇹 was the first country to recognize my country Armenia 🇦🇲

I love the Baltics. Some of the most underrated countries in the world. Love from Finland 🇫🇮❤️🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪

3:46 Apparently my grandfather and great-grandmother when comparing Germany and the USSR moving in on Lithuania 'At least the Nazis didn't pretend to be liberating us'.

*Anyone from Lithuania?*

Niekas: Lietuviai: Ė

As an Indian, Proud to Have Lithuanian As A Close Ties with Our Ancient Sanskrit Language!❤🇮🇳🇱🇹

I want to go to Lithuania but it’s so far to go to it with a car. Love from the Netherlands and my native country Norway 🇳🇴🇳🇱❤️🇱🇹

I am a Lithuanian-Brazilian and I have a huge respect and admiration for this amazing country. My Lithuanian great-grandmother always told me stories about Lithuania, especially how beautiful it was in the Spring. Much love to all the Lithuanians all over the world!

The reason why everyone thinks that Latvia and Lithuania are like sisters/brothers is that when we are growing up, we are told that Lithuania is our biggest friend(which is true) and we are the same. That's why we are calling each other "braļuhas" - "brothers". If latvian is traveling to Lithuania, you feel like home and everyone is nice to you. That's why we love each other so much.

Love from Poland 🇵🇱♥️🇱🇹

Im a simple Pole. I see Lithuania, i press the like button.

I'm Lithuanian so every time he pronounced something I shouted at my screen how to say it

In georgia (sakartvelo) we call Lithuania "Lietuva"

Love from Āryāvarta.🇮🇳🇱🇹 Lithuania is a very nice country.

Wooaah... Lithuanian and Sanskrit have similar words. Great. Love from india. 🇮🇳❤️🇱🇹

Im a simple latvian, i see Lietuva, i give thumbs up! čau braļukas!

Just a few things: Gediminas wasn't the king the only king was Mindaugas, the guy who died before becoming the king is not Vytautynas, his name was Vytautas. I am a Lithuanian, I am watching this and crying from laughter. We never think that hill of crosses is scary.

Honestly, I’ve seen a lot of videos trying to inform people about my country Lithuania and usually I see a lot of weird and false claims but this video has done a very good job! Really, it might be one of the best ones yet; sure there were like 1,2 mistakes but all in all very informative! Good job!!! :))

Love Lithuania from Poland 🇵🇱❤🇱🇹

Hello Lithuania!🇱🇹💕 Greetings from Estonia 🇪🇪💕

As Lithuanian I can say that the country is not creepy at all - sorry I can't finish this comment, as my child is whistling and it means that it can burn our house and we can lost all our food supplies which we are keeping in case of Vikings raid.

Thanks for covering such an amazing country! 🇱🇹

Much respect form Denmark to Lithuania. Hope to visit soon 🇱🇹🇩🇰

Gediminas wasn't a king, Mindaugas was the only king.

I had one Lithuanian guy in my school and he would bring šakotis to class every year. They were delicious

Him: says "king Gediminas" Lithuanians: ANGRY NOISES

it was pretty good, a couple things tho: -Mindaugas was the one to unite us and he was the only king in Lithuanian history -you’re pronunciations are absolutely horrid but it’s ok you tried -if u ever do an updated version you should mention the traditional Lithuanian dances and songs

Just a little side note about the basketball part. Not only do we practice basketball as a religion, we also have a single national basketball team with roughly 2.8 million coaches.

im a simple latvian, i see lithuania, i click. sveiki!! 💕

You dont know how good it feels to see that somewon finally spoted my country thx you

So good to see whos creating stuff about my country thx so much, so glad 🙂💥💯

Me as a lithuanian watching him pronounce all the words wrong :👁️💧👄💧👁️

Zydrunas Savickas anyone? Strongest man in the world? Yeah,he's from there....

I’m a Lithuanian and just want to let you guys know nobody thinks the hill of crosses is creepy. its simply a small hill with crosses and crucifixes that is actually very holy. we do know why the hill of crosses started but it is not very interesting haha

greetings from Lithuania! :)) u rock! you do a great job with this channel!!

Kiek mūsų Lietuvių čia? ⬇️

Gott aclear some things: 1. Nobody ever thought about The hill of crosses as creepy. Its a christian monument started long time ago, later serving as a symbol of resistence against russia (tzar and soviet), it was desroyed several times but after each time it grew back even bigger. 2. Crosses are our national monument. In the 18-20th century, many crossroads, and houses had their own cross. They were being made from carved wood or metal. It served as a place of meditation or prayer for those who could not attend the church or for other reasons. These crosses have their own stylized curves and carvings, which closely relate to the paganism (documented in books). My grandfather, a professional blacksmith used to make those in his free time. (this tradition was had poland as well i think) 3. The KGB bunkers and interogation experiences are small local businesses, not something "big" that everybody knows about. 4. If there is anything creepy about lithuania at all, its the politics and inherited public pesimism. After the destruction of soviet union, the former communists took control of the government which resulted in kind of significant lagging in development and essential reforms. Lots of money were stolen by those people, and remanants of the party are still leeching. (thanks to active a few active people (tapinas, maldeikiene, etc.) investigational journalism and ballzy politicians crack down the money leechers and corrupted ones. 5. Bogs and swamps are not "creepy" and there are not too many of them. There are only about 5 decently sized marshes, which are protected and can only be accessed by a wooden footpath. Once a year a number people are issued permissions to harvest the marsh. There are tons berries and mushrooms. Ive heard my uncle tell a story where he used to carry 80kg bag of pristine mushrooms back home. (yes, forest goods were essential to survival (mostly winter) about 30-40 years back, now these goods are still very sought after.)

Love from Latvia 🇱🇻 my brothers

Wonderful program. My grandma came to America in 1899. She tells of a very very long sea trip🙏

Love from latvia to Lithuania mans braluka 🇱🇻🇱🇹🇱🇻🇱🇹🇱🇻🇱🇹🇱🇻🇱🇹 Damn this is the most likes i have ever had

I think Lithuanians are one of the most beautiful people in the world. They tend to have very refined facial features, model-like appearance. Both men and women from Lithuania are very attractive. He mentioned that many Lithuanians live in Brazil.. can you imagine how gorgeous Lithuanian-Brazilian mix looks like?! I loved to visit Palanga in Lithuania! Love from Estonia xx

Hearing how old my second language is that I got from one of my parents and that it's the last of the few Baltic languages makes me want to make sure I don't forget it so I can pass it on

Love ur Videoes Bro! interesting learning about other countries :D

Everything is on point but I can't believe you forgot to add like the strongest man on earth - Big Z Savickas.

That was a smooth Bass line.

Greetings from latvia🇱🇻❤🇱🇹

2:00 well, after trying to count the distance from the point to the Northern-, Southern-, Western-, and Eastern- most point of Europe, I can kinda approve that :)

Kisses from estonia 🇪🇪

Gediminas wasn't a king. The only king was Mindaugas

Thank you for the video! Looked a bit rushed as if you just have to do it. Other than that, great knowledge and some random facts that are probably not known for even Lithuanians themselves. :) Every country is beautiful, best wishes to everyone!

Love to Pagan country Lithuania from India 🇮🇳🇱🇹. Both are very far from each other but shares same culture and language family.

I'm Latvian but I feel proud after watching this video 😎

Wrong facts: Lithuania didn't cut off that little tail village from Belarus. It was the opposite: Lithuanian villages were just randomly sliced off by occupants forming a border, but that particular village fought their way back to be united with Lithuania. Lots of villages next to Belarus border still speak Lithuanian.

okay I'm from Lithuania and this video is the best thing I have seen so far I'm laughing so hard thank you!! XD

As lithuanian loved this video commenting about my home country. Great video. Liked it in your own fun way!

Much love to all the braliukai out there from your Latvian brālis. :)

I am Georgian .I respect Lithuania . Lithuania is a good friend of Georgia !

as a lithuanian, and who lived near siauliai, the siauliai airport is a military airport and nobody in siauliai uses it, we use kaunus or riga

I remembered when i tried learning whistling and my parents would beat me with the dirzas or the slepete. the great and happy memories.

Oh, so many positive memories back from 2010 and my studies at Vilniaus university. You guys rock!! Sveikinu iš Čekijos.

"They have an easter grandma instead of a bunny, yeah!" "Most hot air balloons per capita, awesome!" "Their own national perfume, wicked" "Some of the best internet speeds in the world, cool!" "Don't whistle inside or your house will explode, wait what"

4:01 fun fact! i live REALLY REALLY close to this area! i often go there with my mom whenever we need to buy something cuz there are a lot of stores near it

Geography now, I started watching you when learning about Latin American countries. As a anthropologist I love these videos, and as a viewer these videos are GREAT for dinner conversations, watch 1 video and You have plenty to talk about culture, people's, politics and Geography lol

I'm from Poland and I loooove Lithuania 🇱🇹❤🇵🇱

Few corrections: 1) Our only king was Mindaugas. Gediminas was a Grand Duke. 2) We actually know how hill of crosses started. It was a part of resistance movement against Russia. It actually have quite a story of it's own. Otherwise nice job :)

Hello Lithuania! greetings from sakartvelo! hopefully i can visit someday

Wow, Sanskrit and Lithuanian is connected! Love from India

Ačiū for making the Lithuania episode! :) Love from Latvia :)

Lietuva! Greetings from Georgia! Our best friends

thanks to Lithuania. i'm from Taiwan. i searched this video after Lithuania decide to donate vaccine to Taiwan.

That dock in Palanga is actually a simple bridge for people to walk a bit over the baltic sea :)

Lithuania looks really beautiful, interesting and exciting! Love from Germany to Lithuania!😘 🇩🇪🇱🇹

I’m from Bulgaria. My friend is from Lithuania Any time I see Lithuania, I click like 🇱🇹❤️🇧🇬

That's some groovy sculpture there!

I can comfirm I whistled once as a child in Lithuania and my house got exploded

I really want to know more about the "book smuggling years" so I'm going to type a comment out instead of typing it into google like a normal person.

I am from Denmark, and I fondly remember my early high school years, when I would spend my savings taking lithuanian language courses in Copenhagen. We were only 7 students, but damn it was fun. =) Lithuania was also the first country I visited alone at an age of 14. It is one of the best memories I ever had. 2 years ago I wanted to share these memories with my wife who is from Japan and wanted a romantic holiday in Europe. So I convinced her that we should spend our holiday in Vilnius. The one thing I remember most was her looking around in horror as we exited Vilnius station and asking "Where the hell have you taken me?" xD

I am American with Lithuanian ethnicity. My great grandparents moved here in the early 1900s. When I have the opportunity, I want to be the first person in my family to return to Lithuania. My ancestors came from the Kaunas region. I know this because I've done a lot of research.

Lithuania has some damn good beer too. Svyturys. Even though Smithwicks of Ireland is one of my favorites. ☘️🇮🇪☘️🇱🇹☘️🍻

Well, ACTUALLY, the Nuclear Plant is closed due to safety concerns and that the EU said to close it, not because of emigration.

Kisses from Poland to you Lithuania! ❤

Hey yo big support from Georgia to our Best friends🇬🇪🇱🇹

I am Lithuanian, and i am very happy, that you and your team i guess, made this video, since Lithuania is mostly not that well known. Thank you.

It is worth to mention Čiurlionis was a REALLY good composer

Oh nonono gediminas wasn’t a king it was Mindaugas

1:30 that small dinky bridge is number 1 tourist attraction :DDD its sad, i know... I mean many prefers to come to Palanga in summer , meanwhile Klaipeda is like a industrial version of it like was said in this video - all the ships and transportation logistics goes through this city. Resume - klaipeda is for industrial and transport work, Palanga is for tourism.

Love from BG. Interesting episode.

Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩 Lithuania 🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹

Greetings from your Baltic sister - Estonia! 🇪🇪🇱🇹

Lots of love❤ to Lithuania🇱🇹 from India🇮🇳

It's great to see that alot of people care about my country from other countrys.

I'm glad you took time off for your life, but am I happy to see you back!! :)

About Lithuania and hot air baloons they are kind of crazy. Most pilots won't start when wind is above 5m/s, but not lithuanians. They love to start above it. Once whole competition was on hold due to wind 11m/s and lithuanian pilots started and landed in those conditions. Crazy man.

Much love from Latvia :D

2:22 There is a leged that when they drewn the map Stalin put his cigar on the map and that no one was brave enought to move it (because if they did they woud be killed). So they did the only logical thing and drewn around it. At least thats what my grandma told me

Lithuania, the country of dark humour!!!

I’m Lithuanian and if I whistle in the house my mam says that you whistle all the money away and out of the house

0:10 I love that “The Shining” reference
