1950s maybe a St Linka and then look at
this facade right here this is built in

A BRIT LOST in LITHUANIA
Join me was we meet the locals of Lithuania and discover how well they speak English.
We walk around the suburbs of Vilnius, in Bulgaria, and ask the locals for directions.
In this video, we see how friendly and helpful the locals are and snack on a local delicacy.
If you enjoy adventure videos from the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, then grab your vodka, some zakusky and join me as we meet the helpful and kind locals of Varna Bulgaria.
Thank you to all my Patreons for your support and helping make this channel what it is!

Lithuania 👍👍👍
https://youtu.be/Q4VTEVdT7A8?t=465 80% of construction and city service workers are not locals.
Bald and bankrupt from wish
I would assume you actually wanted to get lost because after they gave correct directions you still ended up near the Town Hall 😀 Funny video gj
Puts the other bald lad to shame so he does
Keep it up pal
It's a pleasure to watch you explore
You're a gentleman and its a pleasure to watch you explore psl
Much appreciated 👍
What a chauvinist the author. Maybe to us many people speak in inglish, but you are so impolite. Do you know how many times we did hear vu govorite po russky, or now do you speak in inglish? And you? Do you know just few words in lithuanian language?
I imagine that a lot more people you spoke to speak English. The thing is, Lithuanians aren't that fond of socializing with complete strangers, unless it's night time at a bar. Some of the girls you spoke to probably thought you were going to hit on them or something 😀
Come on mate. I was teaching English in Lithuania in 95. My Lithuanian colleagues had been teaching English decades before then.
Thing is ,find some foreigners who speak Lithuanian. Still not many of us about.
It is St Stephens street by the way
2;10sek trollybus hahahahah
Bro, the first segmemt of the video you shot on Šopeno street near central railroad/bus station is close to local needle exchange, I am always extremely upset they set it up so close to the literal gates of our nation (I agree we need harm reduction facilities but for fuck sakes not at the main station in our nation’s capital).
Please do not form false impression everyone here is a fentanyl user or some alcoholic, in mainland Europe central stations in bigger cities tend to harbor drug addicts and husllers. Just take trolleybus 1, 2, 7 from main station and take 3 bus stops and get out and you will get all the beauty and vibe minus all the degenerates.
PS those trolleybuses are Czechoslovakian, I think made in early 1980’s, and I don’t think they will retire them in next at least 5 years – them bitches are reliable as fuck.
Glad that english people take piss on important Baltic states monuments
Well you are very excited, joyfull and friendly. That is super sus 😃 for me at least. I would be cautious to speak to you 😅
In Vilnius You need speak russian and polish😂😂
Greetings from Lithuania.
Nobody expects foreigners to speak Lithuanian if they are visiting country, it's a hard language. Knowing few polite words is a nice gesture, though.
Try to go Kaunas. Heart of Lithuania ❤
🎉
wow such a bunch of positive vibes
I can bet you are from England, not Scotland or Welsh.
I'd call you British Budulis. If you think that speakiñg English is something WOW, go back to your wet dream: British Empire.
How many languages do you know?
I watch this video and understand even more what a shithole I live in… So sad to watch :/
Bro in Vilnius we have certain places where majority of people speaks. Universities, students pubs, clubs, tech parks….
That girl with pretty eyes pretended not to speak english.. 🙂
Good video and funny .
go to Kaunas, you won't find a real lithuanian in Vilnius anymore…
Да, с английским проблемы есть. Главное, чтобы русский не употребляли!
Nice, I'm from Vilnius, thank you for a lovely video about my home town, where I live.
It was so fun and cringe to watch when at the beginning where the Einstein mural was, you took a wrong street away from Halės turgus (market actually being just at the other end of the correct street from Einstein), and then you needed to make your round trip through a maze of old town streets back to the Halės market.
It's clear that for some strange reason youngsters "don't understand" english. The final score would've been higher if you wouldn't have asked structure workers, cause they're ussually foreigners from ukraine or poland. Plus "Hales turgus" was the weirdest destination ever. Did someone challenged you to search for that place? 😀
thanks very nice videos. hay from lithuania.
In Vilnius people know mostly two international languege: english or russian, or two both.
Hello ,greetings from lithuania ,i love that you like ours country,and ye with english language we doing better
If you asking are you speak in English geting answer yes and there end english skills 😁
We definitely dont think like Brits, that you have to speak Lithuanian in Lithuania. 🤣
Lithuanians, but they don't want to talk to russian spies
Visit Kaunas next 🤙
What a positive video ❤
"Not everybody wants fo speak with me". But if you look like a (don't be angry with me right now!!) like a… bandit. Hairless and wearing black jacked. You look a bit scaring or at least suspiciously. I write quite friendly.
Not "Alice" turgus, but Hales, or Halles in German (hall), that is a "market place nearby the Hall" (Halle in German, although nobody rememeber nowadays since those times that it was German word).
I don’t think he is British 😅and he is just copying Ben from Bald and Bankrupt
