Despite having grown up in Seattle where ppl are more introverted nothing really prepared me for visiting Lithuania or Finland, people are SUPER introverted BUT they are also the most friendliest people I have met. So small talk definitely isn't a thing in Lithuania.

Was just in Lithuania and loved it, what an amazing Country

It's so nice that you did a video on Lithuania! I agree on almost everything, but especially on calling Lithuania part of Russia or thinking that Lithuania's national language is Russian is a huge NO NO. We HATE and I tell you HATE when people assume that.

I was there for the first time during summer.
It was an awesome experience with delicious food and wonderful people.
Totally recommend visiting. 👍🏽

Hi, I'm Lithuanian. We do not like people misbehaving and littering. We like respect in our own country.

About the tea thing. You are correct about everything you said if your friend asks you for some tea. However, if somebody you don't know asks you for tea in the streets, they are asking you to spare them some change. Same goes for delivery people or waiters, although it's almost impossible for them to just outright ask you for a tip, on the super rare occasion that they do ask, they will probably ask for "tea", meaning they want a tip.

Very insightful and accurate points.
Although, as a Lithuanian, I truly hate the "shots" one. Of course, when you want to drink, it is cool and somewhat enhances the feeling of closeness between friends. But when you don't want to drink and others think they can make you do it in this way... it's just nasty. There were times when I spiled out "my" vodka, if a simple "no" did not suffice.

My wife and bonus kids are Lithuanian and we travel there alot. You are right with your points, but also just use common sense and be nice and polite. Gets you far wherever you are :)

[critterverse]

First time seeing your video. Now a subscriber. ;) I agree, that the worst thing is to say that Lithuania is a part of russia. That is an insult. :)

[ChestMenasYraMldc]

Great video! Me being Lithuanian myself I haven't really noticed these things being different from other cultures but its so true!

[xarmi]

Wow that was on point! You really know what you are talking about, everything you said was 101% correct. Also if tourists go to the Hill of Crosses, please don't light any candles! Some chinese tourist did that and a lot of those wooden crosses were burned down. Anyway, nice video!

I’m in Kaunas Lithuania as I type. Been here for 4 days. Lovely place nice people. Good dumplings. Good beer. Beautiful architecture. What’s not to like. I’m from England. Will definitely be back.

I'm a lithuanian and this is so true

[skarfacedits]

Im Lithuanian You Got Everything Correct! The reason everyone speaks Russian is because we were forced to learn it when the soviets invaded the baltics

[tesiogdarius]

nah man you good, you're plenty polite don't take it too seriously now, im lithuanian and i practically don't much care about those stuff u mentioned, but the car thing was quite spot on i do like my car :D

[laurab]

This is great! 😂😄I am sending it to my friend Kestutis.

[LionQueen]

3:16 we speak Russian because the earlier generation (from 40 years old up) grew up in soviet Lithuania and they were forced to learn Russian

[karybai]
