As a Lithuanian, i live in UK for years, and let me tell you this: I Missed camping in the forest and swimming in a lake. In UK, you just couldn't "interfering with Nature" they called, and you forced to join 3000 people in a public swimming place. In Lithuania? just go to the Forest, find a spot next to the body of water, and Boom.

@chloesharp23 Год назад

There's a lot of coastline if you want a free swim though

@rinkairiozuki7245 Год назад

@@chloesharp23 yes, if you want to drive 3-4 hours 1 way. While in Lithuania, you just find a lake, and it's gonna be a campside there. And most people, if they see it ocupied, they just go to the next one.

@onlinemusiclessonsadamphil4677 Год назад

Come to Scotland 👍

@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx 10 месяцев назад

And when three thousand other people decide to go to the lake at the same time as you...?

@mpb6491 8 месяцев назад

Come to the lake District! In the county called Cumbria. You can do this. There are many lakes people swim in all the time. Of course it's a bit of a hotspot. But it's close to it. Unfortunately you still have to be assigned to "camping patches." Which is forcing you to deal with people again. But it's nice up here. It may remind you a little of home. *when I visit vilnius. I can tell you if it definitely will remind you of home or not

Hello from France one thing that surprised me in Lithuania as a Frenchman is the cars that stop at the pedestrian crossing because in my country many drivers do not respect the stop at a pedestrian crossing

@aleksandras2411 Год назад

I would say we're polite to pedestrians, but it also comes with the rules, which are pretty strict regarding pedestrian crosswalks✌

@deividasb6860 Год назад

The same goes for Italy, as a lithuanian I was shocked at how much drivers don't respect pedestrians at crosswalks in Italy.

You might become pedestrian pretty quickly with such behavior., fine is 60-90eur + you can lose driving license from 1-6 months.

As another visitor [13 times] who lived in Lithuania for 10 months and taught at Vytautas Magnus University helping to establish the first graduate school of Social Work in any of the former SSRs, I can confirm that Lithuania is beautiful and its people incredible. The country was once the largest in Europe and its cultural significance in European history goes far beyond just the way they retained their identity and faith even in the face of very harsh Soviet measures to keep them submissive to the Soviet system.

My mother used to get very upset if, when we were walking down the street, I allowed something to come between us (like a lamp post). If it did, we both had to say, « Bread and butter ». Meaning, we both will always be as close as butter is to bread. Her parents were from Ukraine and Poland. This superstition sounds similar to what you have described in Lithuania.

@mignas Год назад

Theres one thing you got wrong: Lithuanians are not superstitious. The way you hand a knife or scisors is dictated by ethics, not superstition. Pagan roots have little to do with that. Anyways, we leave superstitions for the russians. The only thing coming closest to superstition and pagan roots at the same time is love and respect for the nature at the dna level. Being in the forest feels like monday mornings under the blanket. Picking berries and mushrooms is somewhat a communion of the person and nature, and in a way proving of survival skills.

Lithuania is an incredibly beautiful country and really worth a visit. The curonian split is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to. One thing should be added to all this information: Yes, Lithuania was ruled by the Soviets for a long time - but before WW II a big part of Lithuania belonged to Germany.

@crabLT Год назад

If we go even farther back, then the whole of Ukraine and a huge part of Russia also belonged to Lithuania.

@times4937 Год назад

You mean Prussia? This state was a vassal of the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Lithuania in one person before gaining full independence in the 17th century

@TheLocalLt 7 месяцев назад

⁠@@times4937and before it was a vassal of Poland it was independent as the Deutsche Ordensstaat. It actually started as a crusader colony of the Holy Roman Empire and Papacy, but by the 15th century was an independent power in its own right. Then in the decades following the Battle of Grunwald/Tannenberg it became a Polish and Lithuanian fief, eventually converting to Protestantism, before regaining independence under the Great Elector.

My family left Lithuania during the diaspora around 100 years ago, my granddad being the first of us to be born in Scotland. Alas they left a place of persecution to arrive in the west of Scotland that wasn't quite open or happy to see immigrants, especially Catholic ones. Our surname was stolen from us and replaced by Smith - that still hurts. I have so many friends who have names that begin with Mc or Mac or end in a ri or li which screams of their scottish or Italian heritage - and whilst it seems a trivial thing as it causes no physical pain - the loss of our name feels like the loss of our history and heritage too. I may be Scottish, but I want my Lithuanian name back - but to be honest the fcking hassle of banks, passports, drivers licence, phone bills.....
