    I'm glad to see you are enjoying your time in Lithuania! What's next on your list to visit? Trakai Castle looks nice in Autumn, also all the west coast including Klaipėda (third biggest city, former German Prussian territory of Memelland), Palanga (resort), Kuršių Nerija national park. Telšiai unofficial capital of western ethnographic region of Lithuania, calm and quiet village. That's my two cents. Can't wait for your next vlog!

    Great video, and I expected nothing less. thank you! I know that you may be overwhelmed with suggestions and sometimes feel lost what to follow from that list but...have you ever considered visiting The Palace of Dukes? Or "Valdovu Rumai" in Lith.? The national museum you have visited was kinda disappointment to me (when I was there) but the Palace of Dukes is right next door and is much more impressive. Also I want to comment on your frequent remarks about weather "it is chilly, not to chilly" - actually if you will manage to survive the real Litho [a slang for Lithuania] winter you realize that the life and activities don't stop even then! Life goes on:-) Thank you so much I had really good time watching this and am waiting for a next one impatiently. have a great day!

      @@crixttian8922 yes, Lithuania is very cozy, clean and fast growing country. Lithuania gets Euro zone funding for the development of infrastructure, so in few more years it will be absolutely perfect. The salaries are growing every year and will reach a normal level of well developed Euro countries. Lithuania has 4 climate seasons, so if you're coming from a warm country, it might be very unusual or the cold seasons might be a little depressing. But summers are usually super hot, I would say tropical. Lots of things to consider before moving permanently to Lithuania. Good luck and all the best!
