On the topic of small talk, First Lithuania is more similar to Nordic countries small talk is just not a thing there, and second the country had a turbulent and violent history. In the times on the soviet occupation there were KGB (soviet secret service) spies, and people could get arrested (and even exiled) for saying something antigovernment, so people did not talk to strangers. And remember the occupation ended not that long ago. Most of the older generation lived through this. Lithuanians are starting to be more open but changes take time, especially for a country that has been hurt in the past.
Окупация советская началась в 1721г с нештадского договора? Когда всю Прибалтику вместе со скотом и холопами продали русскому царю? Или Камень город ( теперь Вильнюс) который был пограничным городом Полоцкого княжества, вернуть надо бы.... Или с продвижения католичества на восток самым показательным событием которого является основания Риги с буллой папы римского
Society in Lithuania might be open to the idea of divorce, but my grandmother is NOT! :D I think it's a generational shift, younger people are less conservative. Lithuanians love to get married, but also we love to get divorced.
Wow! I was born in Cape Town, South Africa.. I’m Lithuanian-Africana.. And visited your country twice.. We do have differences, I couldn’t take a walk at night time in Nairobi, I was shot and somebody told me because I’m..white.. I think it was nothing about racism, just I’m too bright with my skin .. So, did you get a problem to take a walk in night time or any time? 🇱🇹🇺🇸🇿🇦
Enjoyed your video. It's interesting how things that look natural to you might be something unusual to somebody from another culture. Talking about small talk, if you would go to some villages, people there tend to be warmer and more keen on talking with strangers. People in cities are living in their personal bubbles.

Thanks for this perspective. My former professor told us the same thing. It's good that foreigners are aware of this dynamic 🥰🥰

Really? Lithuanians are far more talkative than Scandinavians. Nothing even to compare with. Lithuanians are very balanced. Best best best nation!
We preserve energy in the north, therefore no small talk 😂
😅😅😅😅 ain't that the truth!!! Makes perfect sense 👌

So true, I've met several 30 year old girls, who have already been married twice. Here I am without a boyfriend 😅😅😅
Good helpful video. Watching this a year later. Will be in Vilnius this month from SA.
You are welcome I hope you'll have a great time
Perhaps if you learn Lithuanian, you can make more connections there.

Yes Nairobi has some unsafe places for sure. In Lithuania I can take a walk anytime and I feel safe. Nothing has ever happened to me😘
I tinka, Afrika is waiting for you
Always that's my first home
