    My wonderful Lietuva! I am Italian, precisely Neapolitan, but it's been almost three years I've fallen in love with this little wonderful Baltic gem that was once the widest European country. I've had two trips thorugh Lietuva so far, I've visited the Baltic shoreline up to Vilnius, passing through Kaunas, Trakai and many other places. There's something magical about this country, when you visit it for the first time having almost no clue what it hides, you do get an unknown good vibe that is typical of all those places and peoples who counted in history and who stood out in the centuries. I am a historian, so I immediately sought to master my knowledge of Lithuanian history and now I coudl brag about being an expert at it! No wonder my upcoming bachelor's degree's topic is medieval Lithuania, from Mindaugas up to the battle of Tannenberg that Lithuanians call Žalgiris. I've got severa Lithuanian friends, also a couple of exes along the way and I can say that Lithuanians are fantastic too. I have got only good memories and I can't wait to come back. Just a little word of advice for Benjamin and Johnny: treat Lithuanians as such, without trying to put them in comparison with Slavs and other people. They are Baltic, they are of a different kind. When Lithuanians understand you are aware of their heritage and their importance in history, they will open up much more easily. The label of minor country is not suitable at all for Lietuva and we shall all recover and appreciate that mighty and pivotal heritage the Soviets tried to erase shamefully.

    I met Bald by chance in Warsaw Airport a few months ago. First I wasn't sure it was him and I was a little apprehensive to approach him because I wasn't sure he wanted people bothering him. But I was happy to find out that not only was it really him, but he was more than happy to chat, he answered questions I had about his UA-cam career, talked about his personal life and took interest in mine, we joked, had banter. I wanted to leave him be (he actually said he was taking a break from UA-cam at the time), but he offered to take a selfie with me.
    Truly genuine and all round lovely person. I wish him well on all his journeys

    It's so nice to see the people and the country having changed a lot - a lot more positive, a lot kinder, braver, more open minded, more extroverted etc. It's so nice to see that. Lithuanian people striking a conversation with a stranger - as little as 10 years ago I wouldn't have thought I'd ever see that! I'm happy for the country and the people.

They say Lithuanian is as close to Proto-Indo-European language (a possible ancestor for Sanskrit, Latin and Greek - a theoretical reconstructed concept) as it gets due to its archaic/conservative structure (in philological terms) and for that it is studied at universities worldwide. 😉
