what I learned about Lithuania while staying in Germany.

You know, strange thing happened here, while staying in Germany. It may sound funny, but I learned a lot about Lithuania here. The thing is that being from a country, that nobody actually knows, where exactly that is, makes you feel like you are talking about the movie, that no one else has seen. You all should agree with me that it's way more easier for people, who are from well-known countries: you can say one word (that you won't be asked to repeat!), France, and that's it. The response, like Oh, Paris is so beautiful! or I love omelette du fromage! is guaranteed. But when you say Lithuania, it's like abracadabra - and everyone stops talking and stares at you with this poker face, when they pretend that they know, where that is, but at the same time they are scared, that you can ask them something about it. 

For you to image it better, this is how the statistics would look like:

Good morning, my dears,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Me and other Erasmus students went to a football match, Deutsche Bundesliga, Nürnberg vs Berlin (2:0)!
To see football game in Germany live was my wish from the beginning! Actually I was also watching the game in the stadium for the first time in my life and I must say it is soooooo fun! (Not to mention the fact that it is the only place, where you can drink alcohol in public at a day time and no one will judge you, haha.)

Anyway, now I know I will definately go to the basketball game in Lithuania (as basketball is our religion)! 

I promise I will share some photos during this week from the football match and as for now, I think this amazing video based on Dr. Seuss's final book will blow your mind!
My favorite part -

Except when you don't. 

Because sometimes you won't.

So simple, but still we manage to forget. 

That sometimes you don't.

Have a nice week,

xoxo

congrats to our national basketball team!!!!

Euro-basket 2011 came to an end last night - congratulations to the winners, viva España!!!! I'm a fan of this great team, so I am very happy for them!
Lithuanian national team won the 5th place!! And although it was kind of sad to watch the game with Macedonia, when we were winning all the match, but on the last second the luck turned off from us and we didn't get the chance to fight for the medals, I'm still very happy for our team! And I must say a big thank you for the guys, who played as hard as they could! You were great :)!
Although this kind of victories usually has some bitterness in it, that's how it always is. Sometimes you win the battle, but you loose the war.
Someone once said on the television that every real fan will be happy for every real victory of their team. And that is true. Congrats, my lovelies!

P. S. I adore this picture - it's traditional Mantas Kalnietis (my absolutely favorite player) and Rimantas Kaukėnas victory dance :)!
xoxo,
Ak.
