Hello ExpatExchange.com Members!

One area of interest for many expatriates is the need for assistance in
settling in and the management of culture shock. In order to identify
the information most needed by expats as they adapt to international
living, we'd like to know the biggest hurdles you faced in the process
of moving overseas.

Please help us in this project by answering these few questions:

When you moved to Lithuania, what was the most difficult part of settling
in there?

How much difficulty did you have with culture shock in Lithuania?

What would be the best, single piece of advice you'd give to an expat
(or soon to be expat) in Lithuania?

Hello, If I had to give one single piece of advice - I would say to move here for a trial period - more than a few months. Let the glow of being the "new foreigner" wear off, and try to find employment - Ha-Ha!. Lithuania is not like other EU States - you won't find many people who can speak English except in Vilnius. Behind the plastic facade of its "civilization", you will find intolerance and discrimination unless you have lots of money and influential contacts. Like New York - its a nice place to visit - but I wouldn't want to live there....
