    Could you make some video about Lithuanian music? There used (or even still is) a big culture of poetry here, leading to the genre of sung poetry. Also bard music and other stuff, like our modern pop. It would be interesting for you to say your oppinion on our music

    It’s the convention to quote earnings and salaries as monthly post-tax. So the €3,300 salary is about £60,000 in the uk accounting for deductions. Is there a nurse or medic salary there? It’s €1,400 which is very low for the work.

      Just like FBI - HRT you can go on youtube and see what kind of things FBI - HRT oficers do.
