hello. First time writer here. In you last video you mention that your parents are coming to visit. May i suggest visiting open air museum of Lithuania. Its a museum of old Lithuanian houses and how they lived in that time. Just that the museum is in Rumšiškės, near Kaunas. Also great videos :)
As somebody studying science, lined paper is the bane of my existence and I regret buying a few big A4 ones on accident instead of graph ones :') Honestly, there are no reason to have big lined ones when you're studying here. You either won't write down that much (a foreign language class) or the teacher doesn't like big ones as she likes to collect them and mark your homework. And with carrying a few other A4 ones, you definitely don't want to add to that weight. Carrying a 7kg backpack is no joke. Oh yeah, adults here prefer using small, diary type notebooks :) Never seen others used.
So different! But for science class in the US, we also use graph paper :) I've noticed that the lines on lined paper is much larger here - our lined paper at home is much more narrow for older students/adults.
@@LifeinLithuania The lines might be wider due to the metric system used in manufacturing and pretty much everywhere else. For example the graph paper - two collums is exactly 1 centimeter wide. So a student can use it as a basic ruler if he needs it :) I guess they use the same machines for the line paper as well, they just remove vertical lines, so the gaps are wider probably at 1 centimeter wide.
Amber neclace :) Love it!!!! Its nice to see good people in Lithuania:) Its nice you visited Humana and Kalvariju turgus :) Its very nice to see your parents in Lithuania!:)
Your hair is so pretty! The red and the curls are a nice frame for your face. Natural curls? I love my deals from the thrift store. You'll save a lot of money that way.
@@LifeinLithuania My curly hair daughters , in their 40's now, did the same as you. Tried to straighten then embraced it.

In school's students use lined notebooks, but mostly just for language classes. Most of them prefer graph notebooks. I prefer graph notebooks too. It's good for writing too, and it's better if you want to draw something up - some graph, etc. It's more universal. I can't remember seeing a student in university that used lined notebook. Adult's usually use graph notebooks too. If there would be no language classes in schools, i think it would be even harder to find lined notebooks.
oh wow, that explains it! i would honestly never choose to write on graph paper - we only use that for math/science class in the US. that is such a random cultural difference 😅
Greetings from Sydney, Australia! Can’t wait to get back to Lithuania this fall. Missing out on my Lilac’s :( As Americans in LT, did you guys figure out a way to get vaccinated?
That demonstration was probably on Sakartvelo's (Georgian) independence day. As for why such gestures exist so far away, in 2008 Russia started a war in Georgia and occupies parts of the country to this day, similar to Ukraine. Lithuania is a very vocal supporter of the non NATO countries in the East that have become victims of Russian Imperialism (Belarus, Ukraine, Sakartvelo)
This May was the RAINIEST month in 80 years, as told by meteorologists! Not that i can change the weather but... as a lithuanian, I almost feel guilty you guys had to experience such an awful spring xD
Yes we all write on grid thats what we do. No one uses plain paper note books. Plain note books are viewed more for drawing and sketching not writing. I have graduated from uni in uk and in at least my class in england we all had note books with grid. Maybe this is a european thing?
More great video! I'm with you on the lined paper! Just wanted to reach out and tell you both that I tried to get a message over to Alex on the Foreigners in Vilnius page. Would love to meet up with you two for coffee! Thanks again for the cool views!
Line notebooks are useless - you can easilly write on graph and you write more compactly. It's more convenient to draw a quick table of something. Never in my adult life have I ever reached for line paper, even when i was studying foreign languages. Kids do use line paper in language lessons, but theirs are smaller, a only use a B sized ones. A4 is not popular in lines.
we have 'college ruled' paper in the US which is narrow, for writing smaller. i would never use graph paper as a diary lol different strokes for different folks 🤷♀️
You guys should follow current political affairs so you know if it's a time to flee the country. Well, ok, maybe not so scary. :D But Putin is onto something recently. :)
@@user-cs4fg7bh4r have you seen a size deference? No matter how strong we will get, we don't have enough human resources to go against them, our best shot and biggest hope us NATO
@@gintarestanyte3812 Why NATO is a hope ? We already in NATO and NATO defending us. NATO is like 1000 times stronger and bigger than russians old rusted tech :D and min min are you brainwashed ? There is 0% that Putka will attack us :D As soon as Russia puts its foot in the Baltic countries, it will sign the death sentence for itself that day :)

that's a great idea, thank you!
I'm really happy for you guys :) hopefully your parents will also like Lithuania :)
I especially love it when you photograph the very ordinary back alleys, architecture, and parks. Nice job once again!

i spent my teen years having my hair straightened every week & a few years ago, i finally embraced my natural curls. thank you!! :' )

Hi!!! Yes, I got my first shot yesterday & Alex got his today! yipeee!
Your Humana shopping spree has some serious Macklemore vibes.

Can you do a vlog in Alytus? Really good videos :) watched a lot of them!
Check The Lost Brit channel, it was still winter in the vid, now it's super pretty town!!

Please can you share the location of the market
This was Kalvariju Turgus in Zirmunai!
Can't wait till they gonna discover flavoured sunflower seeds 😂

When I was living in France, the 'grid' paper is meant for writing. It is hard to find the notebooks we are used to!
yes, everyone writes in grid notebooks
Is your necklace part amber? The color looks like it.
You can find actuall chipotle in Rimi or really good home made chipotle to buy in Drama Burger restaurant near Lukiskes square
In Korea its kind of the same. The typical composition notebook or college ruled notebook is really an American thing.
Nice editing!
