    What's it like to study in Lithuania?
    Lithuania is where Kaunas is located. Lithuanians are some of the nicest people I have met during my life away from home. They're nice, provided that you don't confuse them for Russians, or Slavs, because they're not Russians, and they're not Slavs. They're Balts, speak Lithuanian, and they're Lithuanians, and their culture is very old and their cuisine is amazing. Try their Šaltibarščiai.
