Little by Little Latvia!

I watched Eurovision song festival the other day. Congratulations, Latvians! I am happy for you. But I also have a theory to explain your success.

It is not a secret, that foreigners do not remember the name for Lithuania. They usually use this phrase when talking about Lithuania: "L...L...Lllatvia??"

So, I hypothesise, that Little by Little Lithuania turned into Latvia. :D

P.S. Congratulations to Estonians as well, for representing Swiss nation.

How did I like my studies?

Anticipating many questions from friends and acquaintances about my studies in RSM Erasmus University, I decided to prepare a standard answer to this question. As usual, I will use an analogy.

>>>>>
Studing here is like picking mushrooms (lit: grybavimas). When you go to pick mushrooms, you normally find some, but even if you don't, you are delighted because you have had a stroll in the forest, relaxed or met many nice animals and birds. One day you find more mushrooms, the other day you find less. But overall, if you go picking mushrooms for 9 months, you definitely end up with a great pile of mushrooms (assuming it is the right season).
So, here I am with a huge pile of different mushrooms...
What I am going to do now, is try to cook them...and ultimately see, which of them are edible.

That's what I can say about my studies.
After May 25 I will enter the part-time mode of studying: I will be writing my master thesis in Lithuania and working at the same time in OVC (www.ovc.lt), my previous job.

Synergies in religions

Co-existence of several religions in one country is good. Good for me. Good for my shopping exdperience. I explain:

Muslims celebrate Friday. ==> go to christian groceries on Fridays.
Christians celebrate Sunday ==> go to Turkish groceries on Sundays.

The rule does not apply to Lithuania: Maxima always works.
