"It is important to be aware of cultural differences when visiting Lithuania. It is considered rude to be late for appointments, so it is important to arrive on time. It is also important to dress conservatively, as revealing clothing is considered inappropriate. It is also important to be aware of the local customs and traditions, and to show respect for them. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language, and to avoid speaking loudly or using offensive language. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local cuisine, and to avoid eating with your hands or making loud noises while eating," said a member in Lithuania.

"I've become paranoid about gender and toilet facilities - I assumed that most washrooms would be unisex as they are throughout mainland Europe, so I blithely sailed into more than one 'gents' by mistake, which embarrassed the occupants more than it did me," remarked another expat who made the move to Visaginas, Lithuania.
