If you answered no or sometimes, explain in what ways did you feel disrespected or unaccepted? (if you answered yes, skip this question)
- t
- some people seem very cold to foreigners and are very reluctant to speak with them. so, it is a bit difficult to talk to locals.
- a bit of racism
- not accepted in pubs just for being a foreigner.
- they usually dislike foreigners. i understand the social context in which they have lived, but they are too rude. when i once went to a restaurant, i was rejected because i did not speak lithuanian. and like this experience, i have had many more.
- mostly because people can sometimes be rude by saying that they don't speak english.
- people who work with people, for example in stores and restaurants, are not as polite as in other countries. i had an experience with rude staff, so it's like they don't make an effort to get a tip. i have a few friends who are lithuanians, and i get along well with them!
- sometimes people seemed to be very unfriendly, but i think it was just because they felt uncomfortable with the language difficulties.
