Lithuania Kaunas 1

What sparked my interest in Lithuania, a country unknown to me, was when I started doing business with a manufacturer called KIMONO. All I knew was that Chiune Sugihara, a Japanese diplomat at the Lithuanian Consulate, had defied the Japanese government by issuing VISAs to thousands of Jews, saving thousands of lives. . He is known as the Schindler of the East and is respected as a great man. As a Japanese, I am very proud. After that, Lithuania was annexed by the former Soviet Union, so the image of the city is a solid feeling like Nicholas I, rather than a country close to Northern Europe.

It is the second city, the townscape of Kaunas. The city was once the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lithuania. It is said to be a more popular and commercial city than the current capital, Vilnius. Does it feel like Osaka somehow?

I am very welcome to come from far away from Japan♪ I stayed in Lithuania for a week in the capital Vilnius and Kaunas, but I didn't see a single Asian, let alone a Japanese anywhere. At the hotel, I was doing Pretty Woman on TV, so I was wondering if I should try to be a couch potato. ? ? ? Even if I change the language to international and watch it in English, there is no choice but to dub it, and the language is similar to Russian. Is it still weird? ? What? ? My favorite Richard Gere has such a wild voice that it doesn't even look like him! Ah~~ I thought, but Julia Roberts had the same voice? ? that? ? Huh? ? All the other characters were done by a man with a thick voice (laughter). Since I'm talking alone, is it like you're desperate to hold back your words? ? It was so funny that I couldn't help but cry when I watched it (laughs).
