random.

So this post is pictures and random facts I think you should all know about Lithuania. All these pictures have been taken from my phone - so don't be expecting artful bliss this time.

Fun facts.


  • Don't smile at people, you will look like an idiot. And no one will smile back. (I catch myself smiling all the time and feel stupid.)
  • Cashiers at the grocery store WILL ask you for exact change. If you don't have it.. too bad, they'll mutter things in Lithuanian.
  • Do not whistle indoors (it calls the devil). My roommate stops me all the time for whistling. 
  • Don't make eye contact on the bus. Just don't.
  • People swear that if a woman sits on the concrete here it will make her infertile. People SWEAR by it.
  • People also swear by when there is a draft from a window and door being open you will get sick. Well I'm sick.. so maybe i'll start believing that one.
That's all I have so far. And here are really random pictures!


This is milk. It comes in plastic bags and actually goes bad after a week (fresh!). Strange.
This is a cobblestone street in a town square I walk through to get downtown.

At the coffee shop Max, cappuccino, brownie, and homework.

On the walk from school to downtown. Bike lanes are on the sidewalk!

Newer downtown area.. sorry I don't have any pictures of oldtown. I'll get some this weekend!

This is near the post office. I just thought it was cool.
Slits 4 lyfe and Whit and Mo. Miss you guys
Pics of Mom, Dad, Whit, Mo, Tiny Group, Joy and Brian, and Yosemite. Things I miss the most.
Bed and desk
fridge
Living facilities - no it's not always this messy. It's the middle of the week cut us some slack.
That's the post office! I think it used to be a church, and it plays bells  in the morning. So cool.
I live in Klaipeda!

Aaaaaand my bus ticket is cheaper than yours!!! .90 cents means only .36 cents in US.









Hope you're having a good week!

  2. I was utterly amused with your comments on Lithuania... I don't know if I'd like the lack of friendly-ness and whistling.

  3. yeah. it's weird.. but you kind of get used to it and keep to yourself. only i frequently find myself beaming from ear to ear to strangers I pass and then realize what I'm doing after I get a weird glare back.. oh well a smile won't kill em :]
