Lietuva
europe's 30th most populous country and 26th largest economy.

One of the reasons I moved to Europe was to get a last-minute authentic experience before they ruined it. I came to Kaunas in 2018 — just before they started gentrifying Laisvės Alėja (Liberty Street). I liked it better before.

Liepa
A Lithuanian girl from my past.

Kaunas Mentality
A still from the Polish series, "Czterej pancerni i pies" (Four Tankers and a Dog).

Tastes of the World
My thoughts on Baltic food.

Corruption
It should be no surprise that a country whose capital city name means "Devil" would suffer corruption. Lithuania certainly has redeeming qualities, but the psychopathy deemed normal here cannot go unmentioned.
Imaginary Wars
A song about childhood and environmentalism.
