Moving to Lithuania, please advice!!

12 years ago

Hello Everyone,

Laba Diena!

I got married to a lithuanian girl 4 years now, we were living in the UK for 3 1/2 years and decided to give lithuania a try.

I originally from Philippines, far east asia, me and my wife got married in the UK, and had a daughter. She wanted to try the life in LT for our family. Her family is very supportive, she lives in a town called lekeciai, were people are friendly, curious and polite (most of the time).

At the moment, I speak very common lithuanian phrases, I can catch up with some words but too shy to reply back and I do really need some learning to do.

There are a lot of similarities from my own culture in Lithuania, mostly 90% in my country, the religion os catholic, we also love basketball, we take care of our elderly and many other things. But even if so, Im still worried of what kind of life waits for me here.

There is no job opportunities here in lekeciai, im not sure about kaunas but most of my lithuanian friends from UK told me that I have more chances in Vilnius. Is this true??

Also, I am really looking forward to meet with new friends here in Lithuania, either Lithuanian nationals or foreigners.

Please advice and sorry for my long topic...

Aciu
