About apples, they are kind of like a national fruit since they are so popular and are eaten all year round.
I'm Lithuanian American and I have never been to Lithuania but I can see how beautiful Lithuania is. Really want to go to Lithuania before my time on earth is over
@@gujjo9825(i am Lithuanian) if you want to live here no one is gonna stop you brother 😁
I'm Ukrainian Lithuanian 😊. Welcom to Lithuania.
No different from most Americans who never venture outside of your own country. Get off your ass and go
Welcome back home
I'm Lithuanian,to me it's nothing special all about it,but food.Food and beer is really good in Lithuania and I would recommend to visit Vilnius in Christmas time,you really will be impressed.
Lithuanias are crazy for Christmas,they follow many traditions and they spend A LOOOT of money just for decorating it's towns and Christmas trees.
So yeah, everyone is welcome in Lithuania 😊 and I really mean everyone.
As a Lithuanian that grow up in Vilnius : very educated vlogers hats off 🎩
What a great vlog! It can be seen clearly that you have done your homework and actually did some deeper research into the country you're visiting. You mentioned that the Grand Duchy Of Lithuania was once the biggest country in Europe, all other videos about Lithuania I've seen just mentions something about Lithuania uniting with Poland and the united state being the largest in Europe but no one ever digs deep enough to find out that the GDL on it's own was the largest even before the union. And the fact about bagels originating in the GDL was new even to me and I've been living my whole life in Lithuania.
Lithuania is absolutely beautiful. I am Lithuanian American and have so many fond childhood memories of the dishes that my Mother would make. It is a beautiful country I would love to visit someday. 🇺🇸 🇱🇹
It's nice to see big balls Lithuania! I will be visiting once Taiwan sort out their covid rules! One of the few European countries who recognize the correct China!
Nice, you’ll love it! 🇱🇹
@@KeepGoingPlaces My old man went there for a training camp in the army, said he loved it.
Just to correct you Lithuania does not 'recognize' Taiwan and officially abides by One China policy. Current events reflect more of the current government short-term agenda rather than any long term strategy of Lithuania.
@@DS.J Exactly. There is always a man who loves USA propaganda when they invade other countries by stealing their resources or making them controllable. Although thanks to the author for the positive view!
@@dzitiatri Not sure what you mean by that and what does USA have to do with that. I'm talking about Lithuanian politics only.
I am a Lithuanian American and I am glad that you got to experience the wonders of Lithuania! It’s so fun there! Thank you for all the appreciation! Im flattered.🤭 Ačiu!❤
Labas
thank you for making such a beautiful vlog about Vilnius. lovely to see people enjoying my city and tourists who respect the country they came to.
Absolutely, we really enjoyed Vilnius, Lithuania! 🇱🇹 Thank you
Never would have guessed that bagels are from Lithuania 🇱🇹 🥯 my great grandparents are from Lithuania but I’ve never been-living vicariously through you both until we can get there for ourselves!
Us either! Glad we could give you a sneak peek to hold you over. You’ll love it there! 🇱🇹
Bagels are not originally Lithuanian creation - its Jewish. However, it was large population of Jewish people before WW2, thats why someone might think that bagels originally came from Lithuania. The same is with Poland. They are sometimes even called “Polish Jewish bagels”.
Lithuanian Jews, descendants of Polish Jews, began to settle in Lithuania when both countries began the process of integration which eventually led to the establishment of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Labas!!!!
I love this video so much, thank you for all the beautiful words you said about Lithuania 😭😆. Even if it is a small country, it just warms my heart to know that more and more people come visit. Im so happy that you really liked your visit here.🇱🇹
Iki kito karto!
Thank you so much for this comment! We truly loved our visit to Lithuania 🇱🇹
Lithuania is amazing beautiful and has many things to do and eat and enjoy
I usually eat at least 2 cepelinai lol glad you enjoyed your stay in Lithuania.
On an empty stomach, maybe we could too! They’re huge and so delicious 😋 loved our visit to Lithuania 🇱🇹
i am from lithuania,labas-hello to everyone valio- yay
Such a great place - we enjoyed our visit! 🇱🇹
Honestly guys, I’d come to Vilnius first of all because of the food. We have sooo many awesome restaurants to visit over here 🤤
The food is great there! 🇱🇹
anywhere you'd suggest to stay Vilnius - maybe 40 euros a night if possible? thanks
Hi. Labas
@@chezruss Not sure if you’d find a decent hotel for this price, rather a hostel. Though you could rent Airbnb for 40-50€ in Old town and have most places to visit at a walking distance.
Užupis is the district that I live in. It's a small republic of contrasts. You can see a beggar next to a Bentley, old grandma next to a top of the art beauty salon. I really admire that you've liked my city, every proper Lithuanian puts a lot of effort to deliver foreigners good hospitality when they visit. Good luck and take care ! ❤️
Love your comment! My grandparents on my mother's side were from Lithuania. In the last couple of years or so I have been trying to learn more about your country's history - particularly the 20th century - and language and am planning a trip there in the summer of 2023 to return to my roots. I will appreciate your hospitality! My efforts at your language will be sketchy, but I will visit with much respect and admiration! Lithuania - the little guy that just wouldn't quit!
Thank you so much for this video. Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia are on my list to visit. You two are simply wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻👍
same!
Smagu kad patiko Lietuvoje 😍. Smagių nuotykių ir linkėjimai 😍
Jie nezino lietuviu kalbos
Hi, Thank you so much for visiting my home lithuania, i really agree when you said that lithuania is very underated, becouse our history and culture is really interesting. Also its cool that you ate cepelinai, and also we here eat not only one but sometimes even three or four cepelinus. Thank you for the video it was amazing!
thanks for the video! I need to visit this country!
Quick note on the "sveika" at the very beginning, we have a few different versions of the same word that are used when referring to different people, "sveika" is used when you say hi to one female person, "sveikas" when referring to one male person, "sveikos" when referring to a group of female people and "sveiki" when referring to a group of male people or as a gender neutral way of saying hi to everyone. So definitely would recommend saying "sveiki" in the beginning of videos. (Which you might already know about considering this is an old video, but l figured it may be interesting for other people to hear too)
It's so strange to hear or to see comments of people sometimes calling Vilnius a town and not a city. Loved the video! It's so nice to see more and more videos of people exploring my home country 😊
Thank you! We loved Vilnius 🇱🇹 Cheers!
Hi❤
Another fantastic vlog guys, I really enjoyed learning the history and the culture. The bagels looked delicious and you captured some excellent footage of the food and the city. I'm really enjoying this trip and thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks guys for representing my native country in such a nice and entertaining way. Happy for You.
I didn't know we invented bagels..
Very nice video, I enjoyed it. Please come back, there is more to see!
Neat huh?! 🥯 Thank you! We can’t wait to come back one day 🇱🇹
Amazing video! Vilnius is so nice! 🤗
My grandparents and mom were born there. They fled Stalin going to England. Hearts of gold and great cooks.
Thanks For Making this video! This video is beautiful about my city and country. I hope you guys had fun In Our country!
I am from Nepal 🇳🇵🤝
fun fact, hales turgus at friday evening turning to music and dance club :D
Im from lithuania so enjoy there
every time i hear people talking about Lithuania, i feel special and proud, because i somehow born in LT, the fact that Lithuania was biggest country in EU hits me so hard, even i was born many years later... and it's one of the oldest language in the world makes me feel so proud about it!
damn, just now i found out about the portal thing xD, looks freakin awesome!
Loved the video! You should come visit our Lithuanian food truck in Cary, North Carolina! We are the first and only in the U.S. since 2018!
Keep up the content and hope to meet you one day! :) - Baltic Bites
Wonderful and so personally aesthetic
As always 👑💚
Thank you! 😊
I want to travel to Eastern Europe so bad! I'm reading a book on all of the countries and learning so much. Go to more, please!!
Can you first educate your self, Lithuania Latvia and Estonia are North Europe Baltic See Coast States. Look at the EU map. Actually, Lithuania is a geographical centre of European continent. Learn some geography!
No it's part of eastern Europe. Stop thinking that's a BAD thing. It's a GREAT thing. These places are the GEMS of Europe. I am very knowledgeable of the history and modern present of what this country is like. @@l.st.6445
Ačiū, labai gražus reportažas apie Lietuvą ❤😊
Glad you enjoyed our country 🙃
Thank you! We loved it!
I love my country
Great video! I love how you guys describe the food. Some people online will say “yeah, this tastes pretty good!”. But you two actually describe the texture and flavor. Love the extra scenes of the city too. You have a new subscriber now!
Amazing!! I'm glad you enjoy Lithuanian food :)
I really miss all the bagel 🥯 places that were so trendy in the late 90's so Lithuania 🇱🇹 is definitely for me ! Awesome to see a city strive & apparently succeed to truly be a community. It's on my list .. 👋
The bagels were delicious 😋 And Vilnius was great! Definitely go in the Summer; the weather is beautiful.
Hey! I work as a border guard and my strong advice is not to have a souvenir stamps on your passport. They can really get you in trouble at some borders and you might get denied to enter some countries. Also visa applications can be refused if there are souvenir stamps on the passport. Passports are considered invalid if they have markings which are not official stamps from the borders. I hope this tip helps with your future travels!
Thank you so much for this! Very helpful. That stamp is definitely not worth the hassle 🙃
One of the best videos of my city, thanks :)
Most likely (judging by the colour) the thing at 8:00 is apple cheese. Traditional lithuanian dish.
Hi ❤
The cinnamon bread looks delicious! The townscape is also beautiful.
positivity flows from you, nice!
Wonderful video! I so want to go now on April 1st!
Haha, that would be so cool to get that passport stamp (and use the currency)!
I recommend you visiting western Lithuania like Curonian Split or Klaipėda/Šventoji or just visit some Samagotian Lakes
Omg! My home town. I was watching and was happy that you liked it. Really nice video, just showed it to my husband, as he is going to visit it in a few days for the first time. He liked it too and can't wait to see it himself. Brialliant xx
Yay, thank you!! So glad you both enjoyed it. He’ll love it there! 🇱🇹
Hi ❤
I think that candy looking thing you ate was something like a Turkish delight 😊
Ah, thank you! I think you’re right! It looked much different than another Turkish Delight we’ve had.
The red and green rolls that are next to the one pistachio one are definitely Turkish delight, so...
Hi ❤
Good job guys ! I enjoyed watching
Nice! What a trip.
It's my city! I really enjoyed your video and that you liked it! Next time come to Lithuania for a longer time, we really have what to show!
Beautiful video 😍 and nice presentation ‼️
I like the idea with the portal ;)
You are great guys! Liked your video :)
Thank you!! 😊
Ačiū! Love your blog.
Your channel keeps growing👍keep it up
Those bagels looked freakin' delicious..
It's shockingly difficult to find good bagels in a lot of European cities. I lived in Budapest for two years, which has a large Jewish population, and they barely existed.
I already had Vilnius on the list, but now I'm even more excited to visit!
And that dessert you tried looked a lot like Turkish delight. 🤔
The bagels really were good 🤤 You’ll love Vilnius! I think you’re right about the dessert bring Turkish delight. Glad you enjoyed the video!
Just found your channel, really quality content and you seem like a fun couple.
WOW SO COOL EVEN THAT COOL THAT YOU MADE A MISTAKE IN THE TITLE!
I'm Lithuanian
Thanks for the video! It's a pity you had only one day in Vilnius. It's too big for one day visit. But I am really surprised you visited Užupis' cat. This is my fave there. But probably you've missed a metal pig near Užupis' Angel. It's also worth th to see. Užupis for me is artistically crazy place and I love it. Maybe most 'spicy' place worth to visit (including Old Town, for sure).
Thanks for visiting us
Very cool!
I got blueberry bagels downstairs but I seen yours I want that instead you always want what you don't have right lol. Great work you two always do amazing taking us with you
Now I want a blueberry bagel! 😂 thanks; glad you enjoyed it!
@@KeepGoingPlaces 🤣🤣 I will trade you a blueberry bagel and a snack pack for your bagel and cream cheese
I am the Albany NY Uzupis Ambassador of Fearlessness and Love. Tomas Chepaitis, whom I call 'cousin', is one of its founders. Aciu for this!
Fellow CZcams here :)
I'm nomading around Europe and want to travel to less-touristy countries.
How do you go about discovering/planning your trips? I would never have thought of or known about somewhere like Vilnius which seems like a great place with good food, people and a nice old-town vibe.
Hi, well, we’ve already visited almost all of Western Europe, Central Europe, Scandinavia and the Mediterranean Europe. So, we just picked Eastern Europe for this big travel series. From there, each country’s tourism board website lists a ton of great things to do!
uzupis is a community of artists and it is wonderful.
What a beautiful town! Loved the portal to Poland and those bagels looked wonderful. You may have said this and I missed it, but am wondering how you travelled from Romania or Bulgaria to Lithuania. Plane or train?
The portal was so fun! And those bagels were perfect 🤩 We flew to Vilnius 🇱🇹 from Sofia 🇧🇬
Train? It's not 1922 lol 🤣
nice video! Glad you liked Lithuania. But regarding the food in the video, nothing seems to be traditional Lithuanian or commonly consumed in Lithuania. Cepelinai is common, but it's usually ordered with meat filling. I hope you guys are vegetarians, because otherwise its a sin to eat Cepelinai with cottage cheese :D you should really have tried pink soup either being vegetarian or not. Green sweet is Turkish and bagel is Polish. Not sure about cinnamon bun relation to Lithuania, but it looked really good :) backstage coffee - really good choice! The most traditionally and commonly consumed thing in the video was pickled cucumbers i think ;D
Thanks! Yep, you guessed it; we’re vegetarian. Thanks for the info!
@@KeepGoingPlaces Eating Cepelinai with cottage cheese trully is a sin xD Of course no hard feelings appreciate your visit haha. But man that cinnamon bun looked good.
Wow 😲
Right?!
Yep, pickled vegies is definitely a thing here :D
Hi Texans greetings from Oklahoma and one of your newest Bulgarian Subscribers.
It was such a nice and refreshing thing to see y'all's videos about our beautiful country. Like Lithuania Bulgaria has also been one of the largest countries in Europe the 4th largest at all times actually, Plovdiv where I am from is the oldest still active city in Europe, and the Cyrillic was given to the world by Us yes thats right not Russia....
The bacteria for
Yogurt making grows naturally inly in our country and many big countries buy it fresh to make yogurt these days - lactobacillus bulgaricus it is! As well as several other strains that you will get to see a lot. Why I am commenting this here is because I watched the cinnamon rolls that you all had in this video and that made me think of a very old amish town in Kansas called yoder! When you are back please have that place in mind there is nothing like it :) thank you for the tour of Lithuania sending smiles from super super hot OKC 😊😊😊
Thank you so much for reaching out and sharing! Glad you’re enjoying our videos 🤗 We’ll have to make it back to Plovdiv one day. We heard about the Bulgarian yogurt bacteria - amazing! And noted on those cinnamon rolls in Kansas!
@@KeepGoingPlaces you are so very welcome, there are so many hidden gems one can find in parts of Europe that are not as obvious indeed :)
Please do, that place in KS is amazing! Also not sure of you have visited Kanyon, TX which I am suspecting you have but if not you must go, they have a great coffee house downtown, and one of the best vegan lates - the aztec :)
I am one of the first diy vloggers in Bulgaria so just wanted to reach out as a fellow friend :) sending a smile it sure is hot in Oklahoma 🥵🌸.
I like LT, from love from Riga!
Hi and thank you for wonderful video about my City! Please stop Calling us East Europe, we are North Europe!
Thanks, we enjoyed it!
The jelly candy 8:00 iš actually turkish delight :D
Ah, thank you!!
The jelly candies in Lithuania are different from the Turkish ones in that they are a lot lighter in taste, contain more sour substance and do not stick to your teeth. I also love Lithuanian marshmallows. Just try them to see the difference from the American ones. No barbecue with Lithuanian marshmallows. 😘 🔆 We are at the beach right now, bathing in a quiet sea, temperatures around 28 degrees Centigrade and a fabulous night life!
great city!
Thanks 👍
I live and came from lithuania... :)
Should hang out more in old town. Climb up to castle or 3 cross hill, visit one of the oldest N. Europe Vilnius university. Kudos for vid, want to book some holidays and spend there couple of days. Was a living broke student there for 4 years, now I want to raid all them cafes, bars and eat at least 2-3 zeppelins.
wow, so nice video I like it
I love your videos🤩
Thank you!! 🤗 So glad you enjoy them!
Stikliu Street and Halės market👌 awesome and famous for Beigel and Užupis
👍👍👍
Thank you!
you should visit Žemaitija to try authentic lithuanian food
and btw it should be nustebino not nustebeno
Very beautiful nice video sir
that sweet thing u ate at the market i think is apple cheese
🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹😍😍😍😍
I am Lithuanian but I just heard about Užupis
It’s a neat place!
amazing video i love to watch it
I also love pakistani food
love from pakistan and i subscribed 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
You forgot to try the best Neapolitan pizza outside of Italy. And such a pizzeria is in Užupis. This pizzeria won the Neapolitan Pizza World Award for the best Neapolitan pizza outside of Naples ;)
By the way - UZUPIS - translates as "other side of the river" ;)
Next time you should try cypelinai su mesa (with meat)
Did you try pink cold beetroot soup?
No, we didn’t see it on the menu at the restaurant we went to and didn’t want to go to another place just for that. Next time for sure though!
Guys...what is with the background music? 🤣 Thanks for the Video, though.
Gorgeous
Thank you!
Lithania - SUPER
