Agree,been there I met really great people and they introduced me to their traditional and food specialities, Having learned about their culture and visit some historical places. I only have a warm heart towards them.
Šiauliai is 4th biggest city in that small country like Lithuania. It's not even tourist city at all. So that was not the best option for you. You should visit Vilnius, Kaunas or at least port city Klaipėda. Probably you would like it more and have clear impression about Lithuania:) Good luck!
Nerijus Staponas Can't agree with you more, Śiauliai seems like one of the dullest Lithuanian cities in my opinion. I was born in Klaipėda and even tho the city is small it still is a very beautiful city + the baltic sea is just amazing
what is wrong with you people? Not every city is Bombay or Tokyo by population, yet there are countries with capitals smaller than Šiauliai. It's not about quantity, it's about quality. Everything is relative. There are many truly large but boring places, just like there are plenty of relatively small (but maybe big in their respective country) cities with lots of things to see and to do. Maybe Šiauliai is not that touristy, but places like Palanga, Tartu in Estonia or especially Liepāja in Latvia are great examples of big city life without huge traffic jams and millions of people.
nerijus@kuom klaipeda pranasesne uz siaulius? ogi niekuo.jura balzgana? uostu ? nejuokink ok.paklausk turistu apie LT.visu pirma jie pamines kryziu kalna.
Jeigu pagalvosi logiškai, tai kai varai Anglijos pamatyt, nuvarymas į Londona, yra pats praščiausias Anglijos pamatymas. Čia tas pats kai visi sako atvaryk į Lietuva ir pažiūrėkit Vilniu. Lietuva yra kaimai ir miesteliai, Šiauliai geriausiai atspindi didžiaja dalį Lietuvos. Nors šiaip smagiausia yra Kaune ir Klaipedoi, bet jokiu budu ne Vilnius.
I'm from Poland and I love Lithuania. I've never felt more like home in any other country. I want to learn Lithuanian language so one day I could move there. :3
Nice, i live in england and hope i move to Vilnius one day and i hope to start a Travel channel soon when i go back to vilnius as i am originally from Lithuania and ye the comment u posted is very very late like 3 years.
I am from šiauliai i love that you visited my town but there is much more to see next time come for a longer stay. I recommed to see Vilnius the capital, Druskiningai its very beautiful and has lots of lovely Spa, also visit the coast Palanga Klaipėda, Nida i hope you'll love our beaches. And if you'll visit Šiauliai again there are few more sites you can visit. like the villa of Frenkelis and golden boy statue it is not as grand as sights in Vilnius but Šiauliai was destroyed a lot durring WW II so that is why there is not much here also next time go to the candy factory called Rūta it makes amazing sweets
As a Lithuanian can definitely say the hill of crosses is one of the most beautiful places in Lithuania. Many more places that you can visit if you ever want to come back. Vilnius has a gorgeous castle
Hey guys! Really good quality videos! This was so insane-you filmed the building i grew up in this city! I must admit that this wasn't the best choice for touring Lithuania. The environment really does resemble the "era of great depression", especially in this city. I totally understand your disappointment! Hopefully, if you ever decide to visit the Baltics again, when we have hot Summers (which we do lol), you'll visit the capital city and the seaside region which is breathtaking! However, i am giving a thumbs up! ;)
Šiauliai is one of the worst cities for tourists lol. If you happen to visit Lithuania again and you like nature more than industrial cities you should check out western Lithuania. Mainly Palanga and Kursiu nerija (Curonian Spit)
Interesting video. Have never heard about that hill with the crosses. Will definitely have a look when we are in that area (even if it's a small hill as Nate says). Enjoy the rest of your week where ever you are. Best Regards from Maxi and Maro.
Traveller - Flight Reviews & Travel Videos Lithuania has much more then a hill of crosses. Vilnius- Lithuanian capital owns most oldest old town in all Europe.
Traveller - Flight Reviews & Travel Videos Hi im Lithuanian i can say all ot off words lithuanian ; labas as esu lietuve!!! But this country really sucks trust me!!!
There was nothing wrong with their destination. I find the best places those that have no tourists because you get to see the real country - the real ordinary people and their lives on an ordinary day. I think it was a good choice. If you ever make back to the Baltic countries, visit the capital and Trakai. White sand dunes is another good choice but not always convenient to get to if visiting for a short period of time.
Same with going to UK, visiting only London. That isint what whole island is, and deffinetly not the true United Kingdom. Wanna see how locals live and how it feels for majority of population, visit less tourist friendly cities.
Viltė Malinauskaitė Well it depends on what people are looking for. Klaipėda, Kuršių Nerija, Palanga and Ignalina are the more nature type snd other cities are some other type. It depends of the persons taste. You may like Kaunas they may like Vilnius. Personally I like: 1. Klaipėda, Kuršių Nerija, Ignalina, Vilnius ( they share 1st place for me ) 2. Šiauliai, Druskininkai, Birštonas ( 2nd place all ) 3. Other But if we are talking about Vilnius, Kaunas I like Vilnius more. ( Personally )
My great grandparents are from lithuania. My grandparents were born in the USA then taken back to Kaunas in Lithuania. Hope to go one day to visit my heritage. Thank you for the video.
I hope you're going to Tallinn, Estonia. It's so great, I really think you'd love it. Also as an Australian I always get a kick out Siri telling you what's what.
Hii! I'm from Lithuania and I can tell ypu that this hill was a lot bigger and there was much more crosses, but some man set this hill on fire like couple years ago.. It's really sad becouse it was much more amaizing than now. Also. I'm so happy you decided to visit Lithuania!
The Compiler are your English teachers native or non-native speakers? I wanted to teach English as a Foreign Language, but I saw that the salary was not very good, and that there was racism in this industry.
I was just in Lithuania,I met really great people and they introduced me to their traditional and food specialities, Having learned about their culture and visit some historical places. I only have a warm heart towards them.
We just visited the Hill of Crosses in Lithuania on our Mini Retirement. We saw your cross but the names are long gone and the cross had fallen over with it starting to deteriorate like many of the others. We placed our own on the hill as well. Thanks for the videos and travel ideas.
I've never seen anyone come to Lithuania for such a short experience and odd location choice to be a tourist :). Nevertheless, like you guys said, it was a quick side option for the day. And honestly, any Lithuanian that's a fan of your channel appreciates that you guys at least did a video on it. Keep up the amazing videos!
Agree, enjoy the travel videos, just please next time at the sacred Hill of Crosses, please do not laugh repeatedly in video when walking through, each sacred cross is placed in sacred remembrance of a persecuted soul over several centuries, from martyred priests to innocent civilians who lost their lives to foreign invasions of Lithuania.
Lol you made the equivalent of going to America and only visiting Detroit. Siauliai is too much of a shithole even for us natives, I can't imagine there being anything of interest for foreign tourists
hmmmmm.. Well.. Siauliai is the 4th largest city in Lithuania, so it's equivalent to Huston. If your 4th largest city is a ''shithole'' ,I can't imagine your largest city being that much better. (and by the way, Vilnius was built by poles and jews,hence northen Jerusalem ^.^ )
That comparison is just flat out stupid, look at how many cities there are in US and then in Lithuania. Also Vilnius gets pretty much all the country's money, while the rest are just left to themselves to slowly decay, so there's a pretty major difference between Siauliai and Vilnius, it matters very little who the hell lived there a 200 years ago
My wife is Lithuanian from Siauliai and I have being there some many times since 2010. Cool video, I wish you had more time there, it's a beautiful country. Also wished you could show the church as I wanted to show my mom in Texas where my children were baptized :D But it's ok she will see her city and the Hill of Crosses. I live in Norway for the last 12 years, but plan to move there on the next years, beautiful language, culture and food. Most of the people is lovely once you get to know them well. Next time you are there, try to visit the Trakai Castle and Palanga as well, on the last it's a Amber Museum and a beautiful beach with has a very long extension and thin sand. Amazing on summer! Good luck on your future trips :)
Regarding the cold weather for September, I just checked my world atlas, and in Estonia, you're as far north as Juneau, AK, and even in the UK, you're at the same latitude as Churchill, Manitoba, Canada--the polar bear town on Hudson Bay. The only thing that keeps northern Europe from being a frozen wasteland is the ocean currents.
If you ever go back here's a little advice - the best month to go is June cause due to climate change it is really hot wich is rare in Lithuania and usually in June we have the best weather. Siauliai is like one of the dullest part of Lithuania - I'd say it is MUCH better to visit either kaunas, palanga, vilnius, klaipeda. Also there wasn't many people because august is when school starts and it's usually when it also gets cold.
Hi guys! I am in the process of getting caught up on watching some of your earlier vlogs. Kara, I have to say that your editing skills are getting noticeably better and better. You can have the best subject matter and all of the fancy equipment known to mankind, but if you don't have the ability to put it all together the end result can be mediocre. You are so far from mediocre! I hope that you are able to continue to put your talent to use once you return home.
Lil' Pliosaur fun fact most many of 'Poles' in Lithuania are Lithuanians who got Polonized after living under Polish occupation. Guess they thought by pretending to be Poles they would be treated better and they remained so for generations now. That is why they can't even speak proper Polish. Only of mixture of Polish and Russian. And they are most vocal parts of 'minorities' here too.
"Amber is a thing" for tourists. :) I haven't seen locals really wearing a lot of it. But I love it. Almost ALL bars in LT have garlic bread. That's definitely a thing! With beer. And this summer WAS pretty cold. Visit us again! ^^ Btw, the Hill also looks very impressive at night!
Hi guys nice to see some of the"off the beaten track" places as well as the popular spots. Must say your editing is great. You always nail the music with what you're showing. Nice job
I don't know why, but I feel Lithuania has a lot of 16th century influence intact, almost as if frozen in time. The old castles, lifestyle & dances, housing architecture...It's very interesting for me to see in these modern days. Kind of shocking, actually, lol!
Your smile and good mood and undisturbed reactions are valuable. In my opinion, the most beautiful in Lithuania is the nature and castles, the ancient history we are dwelling on. Good luck to you!
Hey guys! I am from Lithuania and I must say - you must visit the capital of Lithuania - Vilnius and coastal city - Klaipeda ❤️ Šiauliai is not a touristy city at all. It only has ‘Hill Of Crosses’ but that’s about it. Anyway , glad that you got to taste - kepta duona (fried bread) & bulviniai blynai (potatoe pancake) 👍 these are definitely some of Lithuanian treasures 🤗 Loved this video and still can’t believe that you visited my home country 😌
For some reason I really enjoy it this video. You know something different. I travel the world with you guys!! Be safe. Take care. You guys need to go to Rio de Janeiro!!!
Looks like you been on a work day in Šiauliai, nobody is there(everyone has to wok in this copuntry to survive, no parties all day/night ;) ), lol. And yes, this is not a touristy town, it is pretty dead thing to see, you have to go to Kaunas and Vilnius for that, Trakai in summer or other touristy places.
Guys..... lovely video, liked it a lot (hehe its my country after all). Please do come back to Lithuania and visit other town, I especially recommend Klaipeda, Sliltyne, Juodkrante and Neringa. Lovely beaches there (sorry, water not that good) and if you like smoked fish and good bear, its the best place to be ;)
4:00 Actually, normally everything in europe costs a lot, even a bottel of water. You guys keep impressing me with the cost-efficient plans and affordable fun things to do. Way to go!
Samwalton85 Prices is low in smaller towns, but if you go in Vilnius ( the capital of LTU) the price would be like in Paris. But the salaries are realy small
What a shame you only chose to visit this small part of Lithuania and probably the least interesting one too. If you have sacrificed another few days, you would have had much much nicer experiences and views :) If you return I'd recommend to visit Vilnius, Trakai, Kaunas, then you can take a boat to Neringa and explore sand dunes, hill of Witches and beaches... Also, Lithuania has many beautiful castles and mansions...
I'll tell you a secret about my country Lithuania. We do have the main citys, they are preaty, they are easily accsesable, and are most turisty spots out there... what you dont know, that we Lithuanians, mostly pride ourselves with our nature. So if you have a campervan, i suggest you waste some fuel, and drive around less populated roads, to the smaller 'villages'. Trust me, you'll feel like your in modern-medieval country. it's a strange feeling, but very much unique. We dont have mountains, but we have beutifull nature, that we try to pride ourselves with.
Just rewatched this vlog because I stopped at the hill of crosses yesterday. I somehow forgot the part where you show where you have put your cross so I could try to find it. Also, I am hoping as well that you will come back to Lithuania and explore the country more since there are a lot to see besides the the hill of crosses (of course, you chose one of the great places to visit in Lithuania). Best of luck!
Yay!!! First comment. Allan and I were just sitting down to watch you guys and we about to watch an old video until we saw this uploaded one. Much love guys.. we are huge admirers and watch every episode!
Wait, is this how you visit countries? So you visited one of the minor cities of Lithuania, stayed there for 3 hours, haven't seen anything else at all , and you just say 'check'?! :D thats a huge disappointment, you displayed us basically as village people.... big dislike
Interesting video, but seems like Kara and Nate are trying to be wacky or more enthusiastic then is natural for them and it comes off pretty fake, I would just suggest trying to be yourself and finding things your actually excited about.
Lithuania has much more to offer than this trashy hill... it is a pity that you did not see more of the country, only one random nearest city. the landscape is flat in the northern and central part of Lithuania because the glacier formed it 11 K years ago. and the last ice age glacier ended in southeastern Lithuania around our capital Vilnius, so it is nice to see how the landscape changes as you travel through the country.
Love this video,just the thought of what it represents for so many people makes you rejoice for the human spirit.Thanks for taking us so many wonderful places.Love you guys💖😀🇨🇦
I hope you knew that Lithuania has insane internet. 500mb Or 700mb per second, I get to watch every video without disturbances, interneto pavadinimą yra CGates
I really enjoy this type of content. Seeing places I have yet to explore is super motivating. I currently live in China which is always quite an adventure but I love seeing experiences like you have had here in Lithuania. What a great place to make content. Looking forward to the next one.
Hey no worries. I like seeing couples get out there and do cool stuff. I have been lucky to see quite a bit of the world with my girlfriend which is has been so awesome. We live in a place called Qingdao which is really well placed to visit a bunch of destinations. All the best on your next adventures together.
im a roman catholic from south asia. i can see how freely my fellow catholics worship lord jesus christ. while we have to hide and worship jesus because of our faith. never loose your belief in jesus. he is the saviour.
my great grama was from Lithuania! and grandmother on my mom's side was Russian! I suppose at least some were ok with the mix! haha. thank you so much for taking me along on the trip! I could never have imagined seeing my heritage country and you did it! it is so small and an out of the way country with few pictures. Thanks.
If you ever go back to lithuania either visit: palanga which is a beach town resort place (i was born there) or the kaunas area as there is loads of stuff to do there aswell
If you want some spectacular views you should visit Vilnius - the capital and the biggest city in Lithuania! And you must see Vilniu’s old town! It’s beautiful! Good luck
I like that this video was recommended to me on Easter. I loved the hill of crosses. I definitely want to visit Lithuania. I had never heard of the hill of crosses before this video.
RᴀɪɴDᴇᴠᴏᴜʀ Same thing. They are not going to learn any two specific characters. If they did, which ones would they choose? Why? How would they choose? If they learned these two, people would say they should have learned other characters instead. It never ends.
@@martinc.720 It's a pretty universal thing in many European languages and since they insist on pronouncing everything learning them wouldn't be a hassle. It takes a quick google of about 5 seconds and the answer is right there. You most likely are an American. Not culturally woke.
RᴀɪɴDᴇᴠᴏᴜʀ Not American at all. And you said it “European languages”, which they are not familiar with. Stop whining, it’s just a mispronounced word. I’m sure you’re not perfect.
How interesting. I know very little about Lithuania. That is a very cool place, with all those crosses. Never knew such a thing existed, and even if I had, somehow I wouldn't think it would be in Lithuania. As for the country's agriculture, I just did a little research, and it looks like the top 3 crops are: Potatoes, Barley and Wheat. So it was likely one of those crops that had just been harvested when you saw the fields.
I lived in Klaipeda, Lithuania for several months in spring of 2017 and loved every moment of it! It's too bad I didn't know about Kara and Nate then because I could have found their cross and signed it when I visited the hill! Anyway, so glad they tried Kepta Douna (the fried bread with cheese) so yummy and easy to make even in the US, although its not as good as the real thing since our rye bread isn't as dark and ingredients aren't as fresh.
This is one of the BEST videos I've seen on TH-cam for a while. Thanks ever so much for exploring (off the beaten track) and for posting too! :-) Many thanks.
Actually, Šiauliai is also well known for their museums. Bike museum, photography museum, CAT MUSEUM OMG. Please visit again. I am from Kaunas, but Šiauliai is my second favourite city.
I love Kara’s ring, it’s beautiful 😍! What an interesting place, the crosses place! The message you write down, yes! , ohh how I love Jesus! He IS the reason for the ✝️.
What did you do to all the people tell them that you were going to charge them to be on your post the place was deserted for the lovely road and nice buildings must have been a town meeting somewhere stay safe
Bene C Town meetings in Lithuanian? What are you, gay? Just kidding, but we don't do that, only if that's on Christmas when there are concerts at the cathedral, then that night with fellow Lithuanians is lit.
TheDeadLinger well actually it's me who's gay. But it's okay. I guess I should blame myself for having to deal with your hatered, since I could have just killed myself when I was bullied and threatened daily in school
Mhm all lithuanians just hid, you know. Doing "seacret meeting" and "plotting " how to get rid of you. What an duche you are, person. People at work. That's the right answer. If you think everyone will run to meet tourists, it's wrong country. There be like zero people, who would even consider doing the "act" for the post. You would look like weirdo offering money. Maybe people will even call cops on you. And that "stay safe" statement... Are serious? Oh wait the town meeting. I ge it. Be aware of the plot twist. XD
Vilnius, Trakai, Kaunas, Neringa are place's to visit in Lithuania! Vilnius is capital city with nice oldtown and lot's of history, Neringa has amazing nature and beaches!
10000% agree with you. I feel this is how these people are visiting everything else, just to say they were there, when in fact they saw literally nothing. Its the same as when you transit through a country, you say you visited it. lol
Cool video. :) Regarding the garlick bread - there are two distinct types: "black" rye bread with lots of garlick (often no cheese), and "white" bread with mostly salt and cheese.
In Lithiania only Hills of crosses?? Guys, you miss a lot
Greta Cha 😁😁😁
XD correct
Agree,been there
I met really great people and they introduced me to their traditional and food specialities,
Having learned about their culture and visit some historical places.
I only have a warm heart towards them.

Haha. Paklausus turistų apie LT, visų pirma jie paminės Vilnių, Trakus, Kauną ir tik kokioj 5 ar 6 vietoj - kryžių kalną.
August is usually hot, but this summer is exceptionally cold and rainy all over Europe.
not every where in europe - south of Austria and in Austria it was one of the hottest summer ever :)
in Germany it was raining almost every day
Raivis K still raining in London
it was cold august last year as well...
Raivis K nigga in lithuania we sometimes have snow in june
Oh man.. you have missed so much more of this country... hope you revisit it some day for a week or so and see all the beutifull places...
Come to Lithuania and go to Siauliai... u didnt see any of Lithuania. Go to Kaunas or Vilnius
Elvinas Irkam or Klaipėda/Kuršių Nėrija
There's nothing to do in Lithuania anyways
Jeigu pagalvosi logiškai, tai kai varai Anglijos pamatyt, nuvarymas į Londona, yra pats praščiausias Anglijos pamatymas. Čia tas pats kai visi sako atvaryk į Lietuva ir pažiūrėkit Vilniu. Lietuva yra kaimai ir miesteliai, Šiauliai geriausiai atspindi didžiaja dalį Lietuvos. Nors šiaip smagiausia yra Kaune ir Klaipedoi, bet jokiu budu ne Vilnius.

I recommed to see Vilnius the capital, Druskiningai its very beautiful and has lots of lovely Spa, also visit the coast Palanga Klaipėda, Nida i hope you'll love our beaches. And if you'll visit Šiauliai again there are few more sites you can visit. like the villa of Frenkelis and golden boy statue it is not as grand as sights in Vilnius but Šiauliai was destroyed a lot durring WW II so that is why there is not much here also next time go to the candy factory called Rūta it makes amazing sweets

You should visit Kaunas, Vilnius or Palanga in Lithuania because these towns are made more for tourists, you would liked it more there
Viltė Malinauskaitė Well it depends on what people are looking for. Klaipėda, Kuršių Nerija, Palanga and Ignalina are the more nature type snd other cities are some other type. It depends of the persons taste. You may like Kaunas they may like Vilnius. Personally I like:
1. Klaipėda, Kuršių Nerija, Ignalina, Vilnius ( they share 1st place for me )
2. Šiauliai, Druskininkai, Birštonas ( 2nd place all )
3. Other
But if we are talking about Vilnius, Kaunas I like Vilnius more. ( Personally )
My biological paternal grandmother was from Kaunas. I was adopted from Poland. She was born in 1930.
My great grandparents are from lithuania. My grandparents were born in the USA then taken back to Kaunas in Lithuania. Hope to go one day to visit my heritage. Thank you for the video.
I hope you're going to Tallinn, Estonia. It's so great, I really think you'd love it. Also as an Australian I always get a kick out Siri telling you what's what.
+Vanessa Norlander We did 🤗 next vlog! Haha love my Aussie Siri!!!
I hope one day you guys get a chance to explore Lithuania more. It's definitely one of my top travel destinations.
Hii! I'm from Lithuania and I can tell ypu that this hill was a lot bigger and there was much more crosses, but some man set this hill on fire like couple years ago.. It's really sad becouse it was much more amaizing than now.
Also. I'm so happy you decided to visit Lithuania!
Same
Hi. Can we speak English and Russian in Lithuania?
The Compiler thanks for sharing. I am curious as to how English is taught in Lithuania. I presume it is taught as a foreign language?
The Compiler are your English teachers native or non-native speakers? I wanted to teach English as a Foreign Language, but I saw that the salary was not very good, and that there was racism in this industry.
I was just in Lithuania,I met really great people and they introduced me to their traditional and food specialities,
Having learned about their culture and visit some historical places.

Lol you made the equivalent of going to America and only visiting Detroit. Siauliai is too much of a shithole even for us natives, I can't imagine there being anything of interest for foreign tourists
hmmmmm.. Well.. Siauliai is the 4th largest city in Lithuania, so it's equivalent to Huston. If your 4th largest city is a ''shithole'' ,I can't imagine your largest city being that much better. (and by the way, Vilnius was built by poles and jews,hence northen Jerusalem ^.^ )
That comparison is just flat out stupid, look at how many cities there are in US and then in Lithuania. Also Vilnius gets pretty much all the country's money, while the rest are just left to themselves to slowly decay, so there's a pretty major difference between Siauliai and Vilnius, it matters very little who the hell lived there a 200 years ago
by poles and jews? vilnius was build in medievel times by lithuanian king mindaugas
Vidmantas Briska Iam from Lithuania as you can from my name and surename 🇱🇹🇱🇹🇱🇹
no way sherlock
Heeyy. Latvian here. Hope you had fun!🕺🏽🇱🇻
+Venue of course!

Um this iš not Lithuania

My wife is Lithuanian from Siauliai and I have being there some many times since 2010. Cool video, I wish you had more time there, it's a beautiful country. Also wished you could show the church as I wanted to show my mom in Texas where my children were baptized :D But it's ok she will see her city and the Hill of Crosses.
I live in Norway for the last 12 years, but plan to move there on the next years, beautiful language, culture and food. Most of the people is lovely once you get to know them well.
Next time you are there, try to visit the Trakai Castle and Palanga as well, on the last it's a Amber Museum and a beautiful beach with has a very long extension and thin sand. Amazing on summer!
Good luck on your future trips :)
Thank you for being open with your faith and not editing it out or picking something else to vlog to avoid possible hate. Its such an encouragement!
Amen! I love how open they are with their faith as Christians
MWN
No Vilnius and Trakai castle=No Lithuania :( Šiauliai is not a touristy place.
Vilnius is not lithuanian. It was built by jews and poles and had a lihuanian population of 0.8-3% from 1870 till 1930's
Lemon Compiler in those times didn't matter what nationality people lived in cities, everything was decided by rulers.
so whhat now isnt 1930s and lithuanians make 80procent population in that city
Regarding the cold weather for September, I just checked my world atlas, and in Estonia, you're as far north as Juneau, AK, and even in the UK, you're at the same latitude as Churchill, Manitoba, Canada--the polar bear town on Hudson Bay. The only thing that keeps northern Europe from being a frozen wasteland is the ocean currents.
If you ever go back here's a little advice - the best month to go is June cause due to climate change it is really hot wich is rare in Lithuania and usually in June we have the best weather. Siauliai is like one of the dullest part of Lithuania - I'd say it is MUCH better to visit either kaunas, palanga, vilnius, klaipeda. Also there wasn't many people because august is when school starts and it's usually when it also gets cold.
Blet atvaziavo i Lietuva ir aplanke tik kaima.. mldc..
Koki dar kaima? Siauliai vienas is didziausiu Lietuvos miestu, grybe tu.
Oh please. Jei siauliai ne kaimas tai Vilnius ne miestas.
Vilnius Lenkija yra ;)
Ignaz jo, 4 pagal dydi miestas lietuvoje, bet vistiek toks mazas miestas, kad galima butu priskaityti kjp miesteli
Kaip jokinga blet Siauliai ne kaimas asile 😂😂😂 vadinasi 'miestas' jog
My husbands last ame is from Lithuania, Narbutas, I want to go there.
Hi guys!
I am in the process of getting caught up on watching some of your earlier vlogs. Kara, I have to say that your editing skills are getting noticeably better and better. You can have the best subject matter and all of the fancy equipment known to mankind, but if you don't have the ability to put it all together the end result can be mediocre. You are so far from mediocre! I hope that you are able to continue to put your talent to use once you return home.
>went to Lithuania
>failed to visit Vilnius
>Seen nothing
While I visited Nashville TN at that time LOL
Lil' Pliosaur historical monuments for starters?
Lil' Pliosaur you mean smaller and with terrible roads? No thanks.
It's funny, because now Kaunas has much much better roads than other cities in LT
ignorant what's wrong with polish people
Lil' Pliosaur fun fact most many of 'Poles' in Lithuania are Lithuanians who got Polonized after living under Polish occupation. Guess they thought by pretending to be Poles they would be treated better and they remained so for generations now. That is why they can't even speak proper Polish. Only of mixture of Polish and Russian. And they are most vocal parts of 'minorities' here too.
Your comment at the end if anybody reads it....I do. I think your posts/videos are awesome and please don't stop with the written epilogues!
+smthbear808 aww thanks! Good to know 😉
"Amber is a thing" for tourists. :) I haven't seen locals really wearing a lot of it. But I love it. Almost ALL bars in LT have garlic bread. That's definitely a thing! With beer. And this summer WAS pretty cold. Visit us again! ^^
Btw, the Hill also looks very impressive at night!
Hi guys nice to see some of the"off the beaten track" places as well as the popular spots. Must say your editing is great. You always nail the music with what you're showing. Nice job
+Chris Muir Thanks so much!!! 😁
I am from Lithuania 🇱🇹
Same!!!! But I was born in Ireland and my parents are from Lithuania ;-;
Kams Msp I was born in Lithuania but I live in Ireland
Glalie AS IRGI MATAS
I Am too!
Hi
they have a huge street and there is no people" you know why? cause all are emigrated, or drinking piwa in some ciuvakas house:D
White Dog true lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
Or it was actualy a work day and they are working there asses to feed there family -.-
Emigrated ? Where
oh that was so cute guys ;) come back anytime and visit as well Nida, Klaipeda, Palanga, Kretinga ;) seaside is great! x
Nice video guys. Just been there and did a vlog from Kaunas and Vilnius.
I don't know why, but I feel Lithuania has a lot of 16th century influence intact, almost as if frozen in time. The old castles, lifestyle & dances, housing architecture...It's very interesting for me to see in these modern days. Kind of shocking, actually, lol!
Your smile and good mood and undisturbed reactions are valuable. In my opinion, the most beautiful in Lithuania is the nature and castles, the ancient history we are dwelling on. Good luck to you!
Hey guys! I am from Lithuania and I must say - you must visit the capital of Lithuania - Vilnius and coastal city - Klaipeda ❤️ Šiauliai is not a touristy city at all. It only has ‘Hill Of Crosses’ but that’s about it.
Anyway , glad that you got to taste - kepta duona (fried bread) & bulviniai blynai (potatoe pancake) 👍 these are definitely some of Lithuanian treasures 🤗
Loved this video and still can’t believe that you visited my home country 😌
For some reason I really enjoy it this video. You know something different. I travel the world with you guys!! Be safe. Take care. You guys need to go to Rio de Janeiro!!!
You should have visited vilnius in lithuania. It has some realy nice views and a cool old part of the town
Looks like you been on a work day in Šiauliai, nobody is there(everyone has to wok in this copuntry to survive, no parties all day/night ;) ), lol. And yes, this is not a touristy town, it is pretty dead thing to see, you have to go to Kaunas and Vilnius for that, Trakai in summer or other touristy places.
and druskininkus too
Guys..... lovely video, liked it a lot (hehe its my country after all). Please do come back to Lithuania and visit other town, I especially recommend Klaipeda, Sliltyne, Juodkrante and Neringa. Lovely beaches there (sorry, water not that good) and if you like smoked fish and good bear, its the best place to be ;)
4:00 Actually, normally everything in europe costs a lot, even a bottel of water. You guys keep impressing me with the cost-efficient plans and affordable fun things to do. Way to go!
+Samwalton85 we were super impressed with the Baltic's prices!!
Samwalton85 Prices is low in smaller towns, but if you go in Vilnius ( the capital of LTU) the price would be like in Paris. But the salaries are realy small
12 euros for a meal is crazy expensive for a normal Lithuanian though.
Samwalton85 Sega buvo labai populiari Lietuvoje 90's^^,)
In Greece is very cheap you can find a bottle of water for only 30 cents
Yeahh you should re visit Lithuania some time and visit our capital Vilnius or Kaunas Šiauliai isnt the best option for tourists
Welp... we have Vilnius, the capital. And Kaunas, Šiauliai. What about Klaipedą? You missed alot ppl
What a shame you only chose to visit this small part of Lithuania and probably the least interesting one too. If you have sacrificed another few days, you would have had much much nicer experiences and views :) If you return I'd recommend to visit Vilnius, Trakai, Kaunas, then you can take a boat to Neringa and explore sand dunes, hill of Witches and beaches... Also, Lithuania has many beautiful castles and mansions...
I was in Lithuania and I can speak Lithuanian my mom,dad and my brother were born in Lithuania
Toma Pelakauskaite Your acount name is also Lithuanian
Toma Pelakauskaitė
I might be interested in moving to Kaunas or Vilnius, do a lot of people over there speak Russian?
My brother and my sister were born in Ireland but me my mum and my dad were born in Lithuania and I can also speak Lithuanian XD
I'll tell you a secret about my country Lithuania. We do have the main citys, they are preaty, they are easily accsesable, and are most turisty spots out there...
what you dont know, that we Lithuanians, mostly pride ourselves with our nature. So if you have a campervan, i suggest you waste some fuel, and drive around less populated roads, to the smaller 'villages'. Trust me, you'll feel like your in modern-medieval country. it's a strange feeling, but very much unique.
We dont have mountains, but we have beutifull nature, that we try to pride ourselves with.
75%Lithuanians watching this video (me)
25%People from other countries are watching this
Just rewatched this vlog because I stopped at the hill of crosses yesterday. I somehow forgot the part where you show where you have put your cross so I could try to find it. Also, I am hoping as well that you will come back to Lithuania and explore the country more since there are a lot to see besides the the hill of crosses (of course, you chose one of the great places to visit in Lithuania). Best of luck!
Yay!!! First comment. Allan and I were just sitting down to watch you guys and we about to watch an old video until we saw this uploaded one. Much love guys.. we are huge admirers and watch every episode!
Kati Budgell I rewatch old ones while waiting for new videos too!
heavenlylight317 OMG I was doing the same thing lol.
+Kati Budgell woot woot! Hahaha that is so great! Glad we were on the same schedule so you could watch a fresh one!
+jeff hayward 👍🏻
+heavenlylight317 too funny y'all!
Wait, is this how you visit countries? So you visited one of the minor cities of Lithuania, stayed there for 3 hours, haven't seen anything else at all , and you just say 'check'?! :D thats a huge disappointment, you displayed us basically as village people.... big dislike
Why didn’t u go to Kaunas or maybe Vilnius
Or Taurage
Interesting video, but seems like Kara and Nate are trying to be wacky or more enthusiastic then is natural for them and it comes off pretty fake, I would just suggest trying to be yourself and finding things your actually excited about.
Hi! Your crosse is still there 💞 checked two minutes ago 💕
Lithuania has much more to offer than this trashy hill... it is a pity that you did not see more of the country, only one random nearest city.
the landscape is flat
in the northern and central part of Lithuania because the glacier formed it 11 K years ago. and the last ice age glacier ended in southeastern Lithuania around our capital Vilnius, so it is nice to see how the landscape changes as you travel through the country.
Love this video,just the thought of what it represents for so many people makes you rejoice for the human spirit.Thanks for taking us so many wonderful places.Love you guys💖😀🇨🇦
+Susan Duquette glad you liked it 💜
I hope you knew that Lithuania has insane internet. 500mb Or 700mb per second, I get to watch every video without disturbances, interneto pavadinimą yra CGates
I really enjoy this type of content. Seeing places I have yet to explore is super motivating. I currently live in China which is always quite an adventure but I love seeing experiences like you have had here in Lithuania. What a great place to make content. Looking forward to the next one.
+jackrubycrew So great to hear! Glad you are enjoying our videos! Thank you 🤗
Hey no worries. I like seeing couples get out there and do cool stuff. I have been lucky to see quite a bit of the world with my girlfriend which is has been so awesome. We live in a place called Qingdao which is really well placed to visit a bunch of destinations. All the best on your next adventures together.
im a roman catholic from south asia. i can see how freely my fellow catholics worship lord jesus christ. while we have to hide and worship jesus because of our faith. never loose your belief in jesus. he is the saviour.
Idk i don’t live in Lithuania anymore. Siauliai is where I used to live and it’s not really a touristy place. Vilnius is where I LOVEEE going though.
This iš hat happens when your grandparents were idiotus. IT gous from gen to gen.
@@deino3037 Tavo seneliai tikrai buvo idiotai. Nedaryk sau gėdos jei nemoki angliškai rašyti. Sėkmės tau.
my great grama was from Lithuania! and grandmother on my mom's side was Russian! I suppose at least some were ok with the mix! haha. thank you so much for taking me along on the trip! I could never have imagined seeing my heritage country and you did it! it is so small and an out of the way country with few pictures. Thanks.
Sveiki

Hello
*From lithuania*
labsdiens is latvian in lithuanian it would be laba diena
Žinau
If you ever go back to lithuania either visit: palanga which is a beach town resort place (i was born there) or the kaunas area as there is loads of stuff to do there aswell
If you want some spectacular views you should visit Vilnius - the capital and the biggest city in Lithuania! And you must see Vilniu’s old town! It’s beautiful! Good luck
I like that this video was recommended to me on Easter. I loved the hill of crosses. I definitely want to visit Lithuania. I had never heard of the hill of crosses before this video.
Ch - č
*Cmon its not that hard*
Sh - š
zZap It’s not “hard”, but when you don’t know, you don’t know. No one is going to learn a new language for a day trip!
@@martinc.720 imagine thinking you need to learn a language to be able to memorise two easy characters LOL way to blow it out of proportion
RᴀɪɴDᴇᴠᴏᴜʀ Same thing. They are not going to learn any two specific characters. If they did, which ones would they choose? Why? How would they choose? If they learned these two, people would say they should have learned other characters instead. It never ends.
@@martinc.720 It's a pretty universal thing in many European languages and since they insist on pronouncing everything learning them wouldn't be a hassle.
It takes a quick google of about 5 seconds and the answer is right there.
You most likely are an American. Not culturally woke.
RᴀɪɴDᴇᴠᴏᴜʀ Not American at all. And you said it “European languages”, which they are not familiar with. Stop whining, it’s just a mispronounced word. I’m sure you’re not perfect.
How interesting. I know very little about Lithuania. That is a very cool place, with all those crosses. Never knew such a thing existed, and even if I had, somehow I wouldn't think it would be in Lithuania.
As for the country's agriculture, I just did a little research, and it looks like the top 3 crops are: Potatoes, Barley and Wheat. So it was likely one of those crops that had just been harvested when you saw the fields.
I really love watching Kara talking about food. We share the same passion :)
💜
I lived in Klaipeda, Lithuania for several months in spring of 2017 and loved every moment of it! It's too bad I didn't know about Kara and Nate then because I could have found their cross and signed it when I visited the hill! Anyway, so glad they tried Kepta Douna (the fried bread with cheese) so yummy and easy to make even in the US, although its not as good as the real thing since our rye bread isn't as dark and ingredients aren't as fresh.
I've been there cause I'm lithuanian
Like your video, but there are lots of better places to see in Lithuania. I hope you will have a chance to visit again. 😄
Can you help me ,and tell me how to learn LITHUANIA language ( LITHUANIAN)?!
Hearing it from Ronaldo is great! :)
This is one of the BEST videos I've seen on TH-cam for a while. Thanks ever so much for exploring (off the beaten track) and for posting too! :-) Many thanks.
I live in Lithuania Siauliai!
Actually, Šiauliai is also well known for their museums. Bike museum, photography museum, CAT MUSEUM OMG. Please visit again. I am from Kaunas, but Šiauliai is my second favourite city.
I am from Lithuania gues this Laba diena
Hahaha
cringe
Yup

Guys you have only visited Hail of Crosses, you are missing a lot of things
Yes, Jesus does love you!
I love Kara’s ring, it’s beautiful 😍! What an interesting place, the crosses place! The message you write down, yes! , ohh how I love Jesus! He IS the reason for the ✝️.
What did you do to all the people tell them that you were going to charge them to be on your post the place was deserted for the lovely road and nice buildings must have been a town meeting somewhere stay safe
Bene C Lt doesn't do town meetings. There are actually not that many people populating the country
Bene C Town meetings in Lithuanian? What are you, gay? Just kidding, but we don't do that, only if that's on Christmas when there are concerts at the cathedral, then that night with fellow Lithuanians is lit.
TheDeadLinger well actually it's me who's gay. But it's okay. I guess I should blame myself for having to deal with your hatered, since I could have just killed myself when I was bullied and threatened daily in school
population density in lithuania and latvia is very low.
Mhm all lithuanians just hid, you know. Doing "seacret meeting" and "plotting " how to get rid of you. What an duche you are, person. People at work. That's the right answer. If you think everyone will run to meet tourists, it's wrong country. There be like zero people, who would even consider doing the "act" for the post. You would look like weirdo offering money. Maybe people will even call cops on you. And that "stay safe" statement... Are serious? Oh wait the town meeting. I ge it. Be aware of the plot twist. XD
Vilnius, Trakai, Kaunas, Neringa are place's to visit in Lithuania! Vilnius is capital city with nice oldtown and lot's of history, Neringa has amazing nature and beaches!
Jesus is so amazing! Such inspiration that hill
We found your cross. It is still there 😉
you should go to Vilnius to the tower
Cia tipo i Gedimina?
Vaidas Tribulauskas which is sliding...
Vaidas Tribulauskas yeah! ¡!!! Its so cool
Vaidas Tribulauskas yo
Jo
2023....will you return & visit again ?
At least siauliai is a 100% Lithuanian city,not as a Russian-speaking Vilnius or Klaipėda
I am from Šiauliai and i love that you guys came to visit.
So? still love Klaipeda the most
Yup xdd It's what lithuania is all about. Leave Vilnnius plox, go back to Bibiskis lithuanians.
Vilnius and Klaipeda isnt russian speaking lithuanians make from 80procent of population in those cities
I am from Ireland, But my parents are Originally from Lithuania!
Sorry but this is quite a terrible video. you literally showed nothing about Lithuania. why you even said Lithuania in the title?
10000% agree with you. I feel this is how these people are visiting everything else, just to say they were there, when in fact they saw literally nothing. Its the same as when you transit through a country, you say you visited it. lol
Siauliai yay as esu siaulete
Cool video. :)
Regarding the garlick bread - there are two distinct types: "black" rye bread with lots of garlick (often no cheese), and "white" bread with mostly salt and cheese.
