00:00:06unexpected story of all of us in the LRT
00:00:09archives watch on the LRT.lt portal.
00:00:42In the Lithuanian of the week section, World War II
00:00:46drove Antonio Baron's parents to Venezuela, and now
00:00:50everything has turned upside down. Antonio himself was forced
00:00:53to flee the country. The man, who found peace in Kaunas,
00:00:56was convinced it was destined to return. I'm like.
00:01:00when I got on the plane in Venezuela, I had
00:01:031000 dollars left in my account that's all that was left, meaning I was already
00:01:06like, I was already going like a plane falling, I say
00:01:10that saved me, saved
00:01:13us, people say they won't understand what we feel after
00:01:17living where there was none, this is very, very
00:01:20big,
00:01:22thank you, Kornelija, who returned from the United Kingdom,
00:01:26settled near her birthplace and became
00:01:30the owner of Grūžiai manor in Šiauliai district, now she not only
00:01:34lives there with her family, but also organizes pottery workshops,
00:01:37somehow I feel good, because
00:01:40I have strong support from my mother, strong support
00:01:44from my sister, I really do, who helps
00:01:47with all questions, because she
00:01:51is the chairwoman of the town
00:01:53community,
00:01:56in Lithuania, Julius tried his hand in the hip-hop scene, worked as a radio
00:02:00show host and animator, unexpectedly
00:02:03went abroad, climbed the career ladder in the logistics
00:02:06sector, until finally became the project manager
00:02:09of 300 people, although now he lives in Germany, Julius
00:02:12dreams of creating a home in Lithuania. Today, I
00:02:16am like an inkwell in fat, living abroad,
00:02:20but perhaps I would feel worse in
00:02:24Lithuania, not feel very good
00:02:26abroad.
00:02:30traveled with her sister who raised her, after living in
00:02:34the Maldives and Rome, meeting many different people from all
00:02:38over the world, she still returned to Switzerland, which had already
00:02:41become her second home, during the pandemic. Here she joined a folk dance
00:02:45group and fell in love again with her Lithuanian side. I would
00:02:48say it's also a good exercise for the language
00:02:52and also not to forget the language
00:02:55and to share
00:02:58hobbies with the same food. or to remember where
00:03:02we are from, and in our group there are quite a few from the same
00:03:05region, from Samogitia, so we also speak Samogitian,
00:03:09so it's also more fun
00:03:12and.
00:03:19Antonio Baronas, a Venezuelan Lithuanian who has been living in Kaunas for five years,
00:03:22is frank. Leaving the country where he was born
00:03:25and grew up was not easy for him. The man delayed this decision for a long time.
00:03:30He was also worried about his wife, whether she would feel well in a new place,
00:03:34but the situation in Venezuela became so critical that now the man
00:03:37says, Lithuania is his salvation,
00:03:41especially when it started going so badly, then
00:03:44the program told me that your document is valid, everything
00:03:48is fine, so I really thought,
00:03:51I say, I would have liked to live in Europe, but
00:03:55I don't know, I didn't think about Lithuania at all.
00:03:58But when that program came up,
00:04:02that relocation program, I say, it was like I just
00:04:06got on the plane in Venezuela, I had
00:04:09100 dollars left in my account, meaning I was already
00:04:12like, I was already going like a plane falling, I say it just
00:04:15saved me, saved
00:04:18us.
00:04:22Antonio, together with his wife Maria, moved to
00:04:25Lithuania with the help of our country's institutions, since
00:04:282019. From the country engulfed in economic and humanitarian
00:04:32crisis, almost one and a half thousand people of Lithuanian
00:04:36origin and their relatives came here. The man
00:04:39admits that he hesitated for a long time, after all, in Venezuela
00:04:42he had a successful business and a home, but when the world was gripped
00:04:46by the Covid pandemic, everything started to collapse. Our
00:04:50pension in Venezuela was half or one euro a
00:04:53month,
00:04:55meaning, imagine what kind of pension I already had, I was already
00:04:59receiving a pension from the age of 60, women from 55, we both
00:05:02have a pension, but that was not enough to pay for parking
00:05:06for a car, so imagine, I say, if, and the job offered me
00:05:10a job before I arrived, a week before, I say
00:05:14the head of engineering, meaning one company, in engineering, that means for
00:05:17electrical engineering a
00:05:20salary of 26 dollars a month.
00:05:22Throughout
00:05:25his life, Antonio, who worked as an electrical engineer, successfully
00:05:28applied his knowledge, experience, and skills in Lithuania as well, although
00:05:32he arrived here at the age of 64, found
00:05:35a job, and later decided to establish his own company. Now
00:05:39the man not only expands his international business, but also studies and works.
00:05:42He says that his intellectual capabilities prevent him from sitting idly by,
00:05:46life itself makes him do it, we already receive a benefit,
00:05:50meaning 249€
00:05:53a month, which is not enough to practically pay for rent
00:05:56here, this is the thing,
00:06:00this relocation
00:06:03program was very good, it helped everyone, but it forgot
00:06:06us, who are old, because
00:06:09it didn't think that we would come here, because we won't be able to work
00:06:13for 15 years, so when we, when I arrived, I was already 64,
00:06:16meaning, for example, I was left,
00:06:20I had, when that COVID, I had, I got COVID, and they didn't pay
00:06:23me, because I was already past my pension time, meaning, I
00:06:27have neither a pension nor the
00:06:30right, meaning, to disability either,
00:06:32because of that.
00:06:35Antonius admits that there are many unexpected coincidences
00:06:38in his family's life. The Second World War drove his parents
00:06:41to Venezuela, where they met quite
00:06:44by chance, now everything has turned upside
00:06:47down, Antonius himself was forced to flee this
00:06:51country. They lived there, my mother studied there,
00:06:54a nurse, she entered a nursing school, and a sister, two sisters
00:06:58also, and my father just near
00:07:02that place he worked, whatever jobs he did, so he
00:07:05went to that city, meaning
00:07:08to visit a friend and there is such
00:07:12a street and that street ends here, there is a bank, there
00:07:16is a river, which I would say is about 500
00:07:19meters wide, where there was a hundred thousand
00:07:23and millions of years ago, that river was dry, that street continues
00:07:26there, meaning, but it ends, and then, and it was dark
00:07:30already, my grandparents were there, in front of the house, and
00:07:33flowers and they watered, and a man came
00:07:36quickly, so he says be careful with the bank, he says
00:07:40I already saw it in Lithuanian.
00:07:43"He says, how can this be, meaning, so
00:07:46I say, I met her, so I let her into the house,
00:07:50met my mother and
00:07:51got married.
00:07:54Antonio remembers Venezuela, which is 14 times larger
00:07:57than Lithuania, with love, saying that back then it was a great country
00:08:01to live in, rich not only in nature but also
00:08:04in various resources. Unfortunately, poor government decisions impoverished
00:08:07it so much that over the past decade, a quarter of its population
00:08:10left Venezuela. To make gasoline,
00:08:14you need 17 ingredients, all ingredients were
00:08:17produced in Venezuela, all 100%, but one
00:08:21part exploded, meaning one ingredient, so they brought it from Argentina, and another
00:08:24part exploded, we came from America, this one exploded, oh, it was brought
00:08:28from France, and then there was a moment when practically everything had
00:08:31to be imported, prices started to, meaning, there was not even
00:08:35money, because when everything exploded, each time less product was produced,
00:08:39it decreased, decreased, decreased, and meaning, and meaning.
00:08:42The government, not only did it receive money, but it also
00:08:45borrowed, so to speak, borrowed too much, too much
00:08:49money, so it would have been enough
00:08:52for everything, but there wasn't enough money to
00:08:55give to everyone, they had their own group, so it
00:08:58was.
00:09:00Due to poverty and hardship, people in Venezuela resorted
00:09:04to various ways to survive, not only scavenging for food from garbage
00:09:08containers, but also stealing. The streets became extremely
00:09:12dangerous, one had to beware not only of ordinary
00:09:15people, but also of officials, we were afraid, meaning
00:09:18my daughter here was robbed
00:09:21and means all
00:09:25evening they drove around, drove around, meaning nothing stopped and I had
00:09:28to collect money to pay for
00:09:32it and
00:09:36it was the police themselves who grabbed her, the police had
00:09:39a police car, I had that radio, I talked to that...
00:09:42central, oh, we're busy now
00:09:46the police stole her, the GDP of Venezuela
00:09:49fell by 80%, I say, if it falls by 2-3%, it's already
00:09:53a scandal, but here it fell by 80%, so
00:09:56imagine, the richest, I
00:09:59say, I know, is the richest region
00:10:03in all of America, the richest in terms of what
00:10:06it has, oil has the largest reserves in the world, gold
00:10:10perhaps second, third... gas perhaps third, fourth,
00:10:14it has coltan, it has iron, aluminum, it has
00:10:17uranium, it has everything,
00:10:21it's just that, meaning, not, so to speak, not...
00:10:25not interesting it was, it was better
00:10:27to sell drugs, it was a better business,
00:10:30it seems.
00:10:33Antonius says that earlier in this country, one could live
00:10:36perfectly well with a salary of 100 dollars a month,
00:10:40it was enough for everything, for food, and to pay bills
00:10:44and to repair cars, but
00:10:46as the situation worsened, prices rose, eventually store
00:10:50shelves not only remained empty, but even the last products here
00:10:53were unaffordable. Prices were even higher than
00:10:57here, because you, meaning, you buy
00:11:00the same products from those countries that we know, but, meaning, you already
00:11:04have a couple of intermediaries, so everyone wants to earn, so, meaning,
00:11:08prices are double, triple what they are in
00:11:09Lithuania.
00:11:13The man admits that although for a long time he thought he would spend his whole
00:11:16life in Venezuela, he never forgot
00:11:19Lithuania, and his parents didn't let him, they made sure
00:11:23that the children spoke Lithuanian and nurtured ties with their parents'
00:11:27homeland, when my mother died in '09, I
00:11:30had no one to speak Lithuanian with, sometimes
00:11:33I called, half the time she lives here in Lithuania, and, but she
00:11:36means sometimes every three months, four months, I worked
00:11:40in Venezuela also in the embassy, the Lithuanian embassy for a couple
00:11:43of years, so there also the ambassador was strict with speaking,
00:11:47saying not like that, he says like this, he corrected me daily, but
00:11:51I also thank him, I really now when I came to Lithuania, it was really... it was about
00:11:5510 years that I spoke little Lithuanian, because I had no one
00:11:58to speak with.
00:12:01Antonius still remembers his first trip to Lithuania,
00:12:05which was still occupied by the Soviets, he is happy how the country has changed
00:12:09after regaining independence. In fact, he fell in love with Lithuania
00:12:13that very first time, when he only managed to fly here by
00:12:16chance. So he arrived at the Europort, there were two groups
00:12:19of people, from his mother's side and his father's side. His mother's
00:12:23side calls me Kęstutis.
00:12:25and his father's side calls me Antanėlis, so both
00:12:29are waiting, they say that you might come from me, we also say,
00:12:33what is Kęstutis Amuntan, oh, but how do you know, how
00:12:36interesting, and it was, it was both, both groups
00:12:40were waiting for me, I was interested that people are
00:12:44not rich, meaning, they didn't have many things, but when I went to each relative,
00:12:48the table was full of food, they say that
00:12:50it's overflowing, that they say, okay, let's eat, they say, here
00:12:54it is, listen, but a full table, they say, eat, eat,
00:12:58I say. The Venezuelan Lithuanian
00:13:02admits that people here are somewhat quieter and more reserved than
00:13:06in South America, but his wife Marija also quickly fell in love
00:13:09with Lithuania. The woman is learning Lithuanian and
00:13:13calls Kaunas her home. She likes that everything is
00:13:16tidy here, meaning, we can, in Venezuela
00:13:19you, for example, couldn't even show your phone, meaning, you had to keep your phone in your pocket, even if
00:13:23it rings, I don't know if a moto. many motorcycles drive by and those
00:13:26are armed, so they see that you have a phone, so they say, give me your phone,
00:13:30so you have to give your phone and your wallet and this and give that, and
00:13:34if a woman doesn't wear any
00:13:38earrings or necklaces or anything because they steal, my wife
00:13:41had one ripped out of her ear, they were golden
00:13:44earrings, meaning, like an X-ray, you know,
00:13:48and golden, or
00:13:49she left.
00:13:52And Antonio himself says that he immediately got used to being able to go out
00:13:56into the street even late at night, now
00:13:59he doesn't worry anymore, even if a get-together with friends lasts long and public
00:14:03transport no longer runs, the couple safely walks home
00:14:06themselves. Antonius admits with tears in his eyes
00:14:10that the peace and security here compensate for any
00:14:12adaptation challenges. If you say, you want
00:14:16to live in a normal country, then this is a normal country, right?
00:14:20He says, here, meaning, and she has a store, there are goods, there is a pharmacy,
00:14:23there are medicines, meaning. We always have electricity,
00:14:27there is always water, in Venezuela there is none of that,
00:14:31everything I told you about, it's missing, there was also a shortage of food,
00:14:34and and and and there were no medicines, and there
00:14:38was no water, and no electricity, no internet, and
00:14:41sometimes no gas,
00:14:44so, meaning, you came here to live normally, so
00:14:48you get used to good things, where you
00:14:51like it, meaning, it seems very good to me, it was amazing to me that you...
00:14:55you can walk in the alley at two in the morning,
00:14:59no one bothers you, no one steals from you, meaning,
00:15:02you're not afraid, calmly at first I was afraid of everything, I fought
00:15:06my phone when I arrived, but I got used to it, that you can live here calmly
00:15:09and in five years I haven't had a single incident that could be
00:15:13called some kind of violence or
00:15:17absolutely nothing, people say they don't understand what we feel after
00:15:21living there, where there was none, this is very, very big.
00:15:25He
00:15:26thanks
00:15:30for preserving the Lithuanian language where there was no one to speak it with
00:15:33and for the love of Lithuania, which decades could not erase.
00:15:37Here we declare Antonius Baronas the Lithuanian
00:15:40of the week.
00:15:48The lady of the manor, that's what Kornelija Gečaitė, who returned
00:15:52from the United Kingdom, jokingly calls herself now. Three
00:15:56years ago, the woman and her family bought the Grūžiai manor,
00:15:59founded in the 16th century, which belonged to the Bojorai Zubovai family.
00:16:03Here, they not only settled down, but also organized various
00:16:06educational activities. "Here it's like a home with
00:16:09a business, here we have
00:16:12pottery workshops, we have all kinds of
00:16:16Christmas and Easter workshops, we
00:16:19have had weddings and baptisms, and
00:16:22birthdays, here in this hall we celebrate,
00:16:25we have
00:16:27bachelorette parties, here it's like a family business,
00:16:31where people can just
00:16:34come
00:16:36and work with clay, touch it, it's like meditation, because some children, when
00:16:40they come, they just touch that clay, and no matter
00:16:44how distracted or how
00:16:47naughty, let's say, he is, when he touches the clay, he just
00:16:51disappears, absorbs, merges with that clay and he's
00:16:54not there, so I would say it's a very
00:16:57good meditation not only for children, but also
00:17:00for adults.
00:17:03Previously, a Lithuanian ceramist Regina Mataitienė, known
00:17:07for her black pottery works, was located in this manor.
00:17:11The artist, who decided to sell the manor, carefully
00:17:15chose a new buyer, wanting him to follow
00:17:18in her footsteps. She sold this manor for quite
00:17:21a long time, she sold it, but she was very careful whom
00:17:25to sell to, because she said, she doesn't want them to make
00:17:28a summer house out of that manor, and she didn't want that, because
00:17:32her late son, he had so many plans here, he really
00:17:36wanted to. 'm
00:17:40Before the war, it was a three-part building, but
00:17:43it was simply bombed and
00:17:46this part remained, and this one is already
00:17:50built, this is the second part, let's say, and the third
00:17:53part, well, it hasn't even been rebuilt, because it costs a lot
00:17:57financially to rebuild, so
00:18:00she really wanted, her son really wanted to rebuild everything, so
00:18:03she said she wants someone to follow a similar path as her'.
00:18:07that she went with her husband and we talked
00:18:11and we noticed such, let's say,
00:18:14similarities between her and her husband and me and my husband
00:18:18and she
00:18:21liked us
00:18:24and we liked this place and
00:18:28that's how we decided to
00:18:30buy it.
00:18:33Kornelija, who acquired the manor, set up an exhibition
00:18:37of the ceramist's works in its premises and continues her previously
00:18:41conducted activities here, workshops with clay, educational activities,
00:18:44nurtures the manor and has ideas to revive other
00:18:47buildings, in the future, maybe we would also
00:18:50like to rebuild that third part, but we have this warehouse, you can see
00:18:54a little through the window, here
00:18:57we plan to make
00:19:01a grandiose plan to make a huge
00:19:04hall, because this is a 1000 square meter space. So
00:19:08there we could really do quite a lot
00:19:11of various things for celebrations
00:19:13and for some
00:19:16gatherings, so we just need, give us a little
00:19:20time and we'll
00:19:21do it.
00:19:24Mostly, but fun jobs in the embrace of nature, mowing the lawn
00:19:28around the manor with a small tractor, raking leaves. The women
00:19:32laugh that they no longer have to light the furnace, gas heating
00:19:35has already been installed in the manor building. Mostly, Kornelija is the only one
00:19:39managing here for now, her husband Evaldas still spends
00:19:43most of his time working abroad, well, every
00:19:46time he comes back, we talk about it being the last time, the last
00:19:50time, and so
00:19:53it happens every time, but
00:19:57let's say, 26 years already
00:20:00this is the last, last
00:20:03year we will live apart, because he is also tired.
00:20:07to live without family and we are tired that we see each other once
00:20:11a month, so it is just difficult.
00:20:13Rasa
00:20:16spent 10 years building her life in the United
00:20:19Kingdom, in Peterborough. She came here after graduating
00:20:22from mathematics studies in Lithuania. She stayed with her sister, who had already
00:20:26lived in the city for several years, and started looking for a job. First,
00:20:30she made flower bouquets in a factory, later she got a job
00:20:33in a trading company, then she met her future husband
00:20:36Evaldas. They had their firstborn Karilė, the woman is happy with
00:20:40motherhood and work, if necessary, a nanny
00:20:44looked after her daughter. Mainly, the work was in the office, with product orders
00:20:48and client
00:20:50communication with clients, so it was just
00:20:54such a peaceful, warm job, I was
00:20:58simply given very good working conditions, I had extremely good
00:21:02employers and my schedule
00:21:05was flexible, I adjusted, meaning they adjusted to me,
00:21:09not me to them, and I could
00:21:12combine both motherhood and work together,
00:21:16also sometimes my sister
00:21:20would help out and take care of her, when she wasn't working on some days,
00:21:23but my work was from eight to five.
00:21:25After
00:21:28her daughter was born, Kornelija increasingly thought about
00:21:32returning to Lithuania, she just never planned to leave her homeland
00:21:35for good. From my side, there was no thought of staying
00:21:39at all, because I already knew when I came to the United
00:21:42Kingdom that when I had children, I would definitely return
00:21:45to Lithuania, because I don't
00:21:48like the education system there. I don't like it, although
00:21:52I also attended college there,
00:21:55improving my English language skills a,
00:21:59I wouldn't say I liked it very much because
00:22:03children first go to school from the age of four,
00:22:06a, so to me that seems to take
00:22:09away childhood from children, well, of course,
00:22:13it's impossible otherwise there, because a
00:22:16maternity leave lasts nine months in total.
00:22:20So if you leave, if you have a difficult pregnancy, you
00:22:24go on maternity leave earlier, so that means when the baby is born,
00:22:28you have less time to spend with them, so that
00:22:31encourages many to return to work earlier and leave their children
00:22:34in kindergarten, from as early as, I don't know, from
00:22:38seven, let's say, or eight months.
00:22:39Kornelija
00:22:43wanted her children to study in Lithuania, so
00:22:46when she got pregnant with her second daughter,
00:22:50she started planning her return home, the woman didn't like the conditions in British
00:22:53educational institutions that her older daughter had
00:22:57to deal with, we had to go to such a kindergarten,
00:22:59where we went, but
00:23:03quickly stopped, because simply hysterics
00:23:06started, tears started and she was already
00:23:10about three years old and she understood what was happening, how everything
00:23:13was happening there, because here in Lithuania, those
00:23:17who complain that children are unsupervised or something else.
00:23:20it seems to them that they should take their children to English
00:23:23kindergartens where you sat,
00:23:27there you ate and slept, simply
00:23:30and the doors were open winter and summer to go
00:23:34outside, you sit by the door, the wind blows,
00:23:37no big deal, they go out, not dressed,
00:23:40outside, come back, everything is fine, simply
00:23:44that control, that supervision, I would say, was lacking in my opinion.
00:23:46To
00:23:50have returned to live in her native Grūžiai, Kornelija is grateful
00:23:53to her sister Deimantė, it was she who convinced Kornelija and her family
00:23:57to move to the town and showed them the manor
00:24:00for sale there. Well, I really didn't want to come back
00:24:03here, I didn't want to, it seemed like
00:24:06anywhere but Grūžiai, well, I was born and raised here, I thought,
00:24:10well, I wouldn't want to live here, and
00:24:13we had already looked at several houses and looked around,
00:24:17we even wanted to buy, but
00:24:21then, well, of course, everything doesn't happen that fast, remotely,
00:24:25we had a broker who helped with those issues, and
00:24:28we came back when the daughter was
00:24:31about one year old, well, and then that's it, my sister
00:24:35pushed us here, maybe I just
00:24:38didn't appreciate how everything changes, because compared
00:24:41to when I lived, when I grew up, studied at school,
00:24:45in gymnasium, it was completely, completely different
00:24:48and those streets... newer, now a lot
00:24:52has been invested in the town, the town is now
00:24:55more attractive to both guests and residents, the gymnasium
00:24:58has also been renovated, now
00:25:02children sit in classes in T-shirts, because it's warm,
00:25:05they don't even need to sit with gloves, sometime we used to
00:25:09sit even with jackets and gloves, because it was cold, we would stuff windows
00:25:13with newspapers, now that is far from being
00:25:15and a lot of young people
00:25:19return to...
00:25:23Having decided to return to her homeland, Kornelija has not regretted
00:25:26it for a moment. She is happy with her loved ones
00:25:30here and their support, good conditions for her daughters to grow up. I'm
00:25:34fine, I'm returning to Lithuania, where I was born and grew up
00:25:37and here my mother lives, my sister
00:25:41lives with her family. There
00:25:44my children only had one cousin, who is currently
00:25:4718 years old, and here there are about the same
00:25:51age, they have three cousins and one with whom they are seen quite
00:25:54often,
00:25:57so you know, living in a family, communicating is really
00:26:01fun, not at a distance, I think,
00:26:04it's better for them here, here in Lithuania for the children, I feel
00:26:08good, because I have strong support from
00:26:11my mother, strong support from my sister
00:26:14I really have, who helps with all questions, because
00:26:18she is the
00:26:22chairperson of the town community
00:26:26and she goes, climbs the career
00:26:29ladder, so many... in the town
00:26:33of ideas as well, because she is also an active person,
00:26:35she
00:26:38knows what people want, she has been involved in such things for
00:26:41many years and she really knows which
00:26:45direction to go, so it's just very good to have
00:26:47her.
00:26:51At first, Kornelija and her family thought about living in her husband's hometown
00:26:54Kaunas or its surroundings, but after settling
00:26:58in Gruzdžiai, she realized that life in a small town
00:27:01has even more advantages, you know, everything
00:27:04is enough, we have Šiauliai, one of, well, a bigger
00:27:07city, so Šiauliai is nearby,
00:27:1120 minutes by car and you can find any shops
00:27:14you want, so no, I like
00:27:17peace, I, for example, couldn't live in Vilnius,
00:27:21too much noise, too many cars, yes, a beautiful city,
00:27:25I don't argue, well, but I like
00:27:27nature, I like the trees
00:27:31around, when we have animals here, who
00:27:34come to us every day, every night, badgers,
00:27:38fallow deer walk, foxes,
00:27:41all kinds of animals I've never seen in my
00:27:44life, I can just look out the window and they
00:27:47walk around, so I like
00:27:50nature,
00:27:54the only thing that Kornelija misses from the United
00:27:57Kingdom is British culture and the smiles often seen on the
00:28:00streets, so it's good. She tries to infect
00:28:04those around her with a good mood, people could be
00:28:07friendlier, envy less, smile
00:28:10more, it would be completely different, because
00:28:14you know, after living in England, even for that decade,
00:28:17but you understand that it's
00:28:20not hard to smile, it's not hard to greet or
00:28:24ask, after all, how things are going, and it's very
00:28:27pleasant when you go to a shop and are served with a smile and a good
00:28:30mood. So next time I even
00:28:34thank them for good service, because it's really
00:28:37pleasant.
00:28:40Kornelija, who cherishes the manor, is convinced that
00:28:44the planned plans and dreams will be successfully implemented,
00:28:47after all, in her own country and with the support of her loved ones,
00:28:51it is much easier to do so.
00:28:59Former radio host Julius Pauliukonis, who previously
00:29:02tried his hand at the Lithuanian rap scene, now successfully
00:29:06manages a team of 300
00:29:08people in Germany, but he is increasingly returning to his homeland, building
00:29:12a home here and making plans to return for good. The man
00:29:16spent eight years abroad, although when he left, he had no
00:29:20plans to stay long, just like the first time he went
00:29:23to study. I left without even attending my
00:29:26graduation, although I was the president of students in the 11th
00:29:29and 12th grades, so I had a role in those graduations. But
00:29:33while my classmates were dancing at their graduation, I worked my first night
00:29:36shift to pay for my studies in England. I went
00:29:40to study with the idea that I would only study,
00:29:43but it turned out that from the first weeks
00:29:47I realized that I would have to work and study
00:29:49and
00:29:51it was difficult to work at night and go to
00:29:55studies during the day, so I couldn't complete this place in those two years,
00:29:58but how much experience I gained working as
00:30:02an 18-year-old in England,
00:30:06I gained no less from studying.
00:30:09studijuodamas.
00:30:12Julius, who did not complete his business administration studies
00:30:16in the United Kingdom, brought a certificate to Lithuania
00:30:19certifying that he successfully completed part of his studies.
00:30:22The man hoped that this would open doors more easily
00:30:26to large business companies where he intended to try to get
00:30:29a job, but the reality was somewhat different.
00:30:33It turned out that... "I danced with straw Simona in the water park,
00:30:37Polynesian dances, and at that time I was doing quite well living,
00:30:40I danced for a couple of years, so it was also
00:30:44playing with children, not just dancing, I was also a pirate
00:30:47there, I could also host a five-year-old princess's birthday
00:30:51and a pirate and Spiderman, yes, there I had
00:30:54to change three different professions in one day and be
00:30:57three different superheroes, but at some point."
