Living here for a couple of years already. Cost of living information is very accurate, even surprised me :D But I can't agree with couple Cons. As mentioned in the older review, pretty much everyone speaks english, only some older folks (40+) doesn't. It's true that LGBT community isn't very popular, but I would not say that it's hostile. Lithuanians indeed are a bit closed in, but that's only till the first drink, then everyone becomes besties. If you struggle with making friends visit "Dzem P
