A word on Lithuanians: they are incredibly charming, hospitable, and hell-bent on having a good time. Upon our first outing into the unknown streets of the city at night for example , we had the good fortune of asking two young university students directions to a bar that no longer existed.
In reply, one of the young ladies produced two handles of alcohol one vodka, one tequila from her handbag and bade us drink up while we waited idly for the little green man to usher us through the crosswalk.
An unprovoked diatribe against the self-proclaimed stereotype that Lithuanians are all vodka-swilling alcoholics though the evidence was rather irrefutable shortly followed, and soon we found ourselves in the midst of a university party at Bix , surrounded by college-age girls, drinking the aforementioned handles quite openly in the upstairs. We could go on to describe the sunrise that morning and the circumstances of sleeping arrangements, but the point is that Lithuanians are extremely friendly, accommodating and love little more than a good time.
