Lab 14

Q: What is your favorite Lithuanian dish?
A: Cepelinai, its like a potato shell around meat. Its really good.

Q: When did you come to America?
A: I came when I was 15 on September 12th.

Q: Why did your parents want you to come here?
A: Because there was no future for me in Lithuania, so we came to the states.

Q: What was it like for you dad trying to live here in the states? Was it really difficult to get a green card?
A: My dad left USSR to go to states with no chance of return to Lithuania. Its impossible to get a green card without my dad having citizenship, and it took him a while to get it.

Q: What is your favorite American dish?
A: Im not sure, but I love McDonalds!

Q: Are you worried about the economy in the U.S right now?
A: I care because obviously now I'm apart of it.

A: Protestant, and Christianity

Q: What is the weather like there?
A: There are no storms, tornado's, hurricane's nothing. We have all 4 seasons which is really nice.

Q: How are the school systems in Lithuania?
A: Terrible, there is really poor documentation of students and they dont keep up with anything well. You could get away with anything at the schools. The grading scale is 2-1o not using percent or anything. 1st grade-4th is kindergarden and 5th grade to 12th grade is highschool.

A: yes, all my family except for my mom and dad who are here with me.

Q: Least favorite thing about U.S.
A: Living in Concord.

Q: Favorite thing about U.S
A: For the most part the people here are a lot more friendly that the people in Lithuania. Even though it can be fake here it makes you feel welcome. I also like the roads here, the ones back in Lithuania are bumpy.

Q: Is there a lot of poverty in Lithuania?
A: Oh yes, a lot of fake hobos people who are just trying to get money.

Q: Is Lithuania racially diverse?
A: No, there are almost no African Lithuanians, mostly just blonde people.

Fun fact from Mazena: Recently new members were reentered into the senate house post USSR, this was the first election. A man who is a host of a television show similar to "Who wants to be a millionaire" in Lithuania was elected into the house.
