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.

Lithuania is Europes toilet let's be honest most people commit suicide in this country per capita also very little salary and raining all the time.

[@azazinate]

Totally agree. I grew up in Spokane and I've been in the Baltics for a month and it's like super introvert but very kind and friendly if you just put a little effort into talking to them about something a little deeper than the weather.

[@kokomiko6370]

I am from lithuania i was born hear and still live hear and we may look introverted bc we are kind of weirdly raised that way idk or it just lithuanian geens to not smile in the streets or not start random smal talk (like you said) out of nowhere bc we will just look at you weirdly and just walk away. But if you get to know us we have a lot of iteresting people here to talk to or just hang out. Just dont be scared to aproche a person with a bitch resting face in lithuania and you will be fine (sry for the bad grammar)

We're an American family that just returned from a Christmas/New Year's vacation in Lithuania and the other Baltic Countries. Many of our friends and family thought we were crazy for going to the Baltics in Winter. "Where are those countries?" "Aren't you worried about the war in Ukraine?" Man, were they wrong. Lithuania is lovely with an amazing history. Vilnius is a fantastic capital. We especially liked the Republic of Užupis. The Hill of Crosses was so cool. The people of Lithuania could not have been more friendly and hospitable (we were wrongly told they were "cold"). And, the weather really wasn't bad at all. We will definitely be back to visit again. Lithuania definitely earned a 10/10.

[@biruteramanauskiene8731]

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.

[@backin80s]

A great video, a few of the don'ts are supperstitions and may vary from person to person. 1. The number one that gets us upset is calling us russians. you must understand the contex, the country was occupied by the russian empire and the ussr, and its been only 30 years since Lithuania became a free county, so the wounds left by those times are still quite fresh. 2. Lituanians generaly do not like loud people, be it in the cafe or public transport. This is common in all more northern counties. 3. Small talk - lituanians are know to be colder, and less chaty, witch is again comon in northern countries. But also lithuanian lack of trust to strangers comes back to history. When the country was ocupied there were goverment spies, and people could go to jail or get exiled to siberia for saying something that could be antigovernment, so talking to people that you don't know was not a good idea. Lithuania is and it's people are becoming more open to the world, but for a country that has been hurt a lot trust takes some time.

[@brassgrass935]

On the other side of this topic, lithuanians (as a lithuanian) love when people try and speak our language! Don't know what is it, but it always cheers us up

I would not say that Lithuanians are just tea drinkers :D I know more coffee lovers (like myself) to be honest ;)

[@tomsengelis9212]

Lithuania used to be part of the Russian Empire after the partition of the Lithuanian-Polish commonwealth from 1795 until 1918. There was even a ban on Latin script during the 19th century. Many people speak Russian in Lithuania because it was a mandatory language taught at schools and used in public administration. You can still use Russian in all Baltic State capitals, Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn, and most people will understand you. I believe today it is very backward to refer to the three Baltic States as "Russia" or "Eastern Europe." It wouldn't be a surprise 30 years ago, but now the Baltic States are completely different than they used to be back then.

[@TheKhamuhl]

It mostly depends on the generation of person you are talking to. Most of the young people speak English instead of Russian as a second language. I'm 30, originally from Vilnius and I don't know a word of Russian, most of my friends and colleagues too. Almost all people over 40 can understand Russian, as it was forced on the populace during the occupation.

While it's pretty solid advice and true in most cases, you shouldn't really take it that seriously. The drinking rules in particular mostly apply to the 45-70 y.o. generation and you wouldn't find 20-somethings doing the whole "pressuring you into drinking" thing and putting non-drinkers on the spot like that. Perhaps the one thing worth taking away from this is the eye contact in social situations, such as when greeting someone and shaking their hand. You're not gonna believe me, but Lithuanians are otherwise a completely introverted people who don't smile, don't make small talk, keep their distance and don't say hi to strangers. Don't even know how the importance of eye contact came to exist in such a setting but indeed it's there now. Oh, and needless to say, the heyday of Lithuanian basketball is now behind us. It's not that important to speak highly of it anymore. We're all about that swimming and discus throwing now.

Well, I’d say that’s a bit too categorical. I speak Russian as a learned language, and sometimes it has been very handy. Last summer I traveled across Europe and met Ukrainian refugees in several countries who didn’t speak English, but they spoke Russian, and it was wonderful to communicate. Also, when I was in rural parts of Poland I found most older locals didn’t speak English but they spoke some level of Russian. Usually, I’d try to work in pretty quickly that I’m not Russian, and, if it was natural to broach, I’d express my vehement opposition to Putin’s war (which just about all Poles despise). So I met and chatted with wonderful people in contexts that could have been very problematic, but instead were useful at the least, and bonding at the best.

I Vilnius (capital) russian is very common language, native Poles, Russian (of course) Belorussians, Ukrainians (that one is strange).

Hello and thank you for fair and informative video. I wanna comment why Lithos like natural foods. It is actually because we almost don't have processed foods (except sausages and even those are usually 98% real meat). It is all because of poverty. We don't have the technology and money to turn real milk into powder and then back to milk because it requires extra investement into industry. As well as turning real eggs into pausterized mix for omelets, because it is cheaper for us to buy/sell just real eggs. We have too many cows and pigs and chickens and only 3 million people so we barely know what to do with all that real milk, pork, beef, eggs, poultry... Forget about spending extra buck on expensive installment for turning all those foods into processed one. That is the only reason why😁 When Lithos will become more developed and rich the will eat processed foods just like the rest of wealthy nations. And not because they are health-conscious. That's all🙂
