Japanese people adaptation in Lithuania

Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) 4th year student Monika Lisauskaitė is writing a bachelor's thesis about the way people from Japan adapt in Lithuania and its culture. The main goal of this research is to reveal the ways Japanese people adapt to the different culture that Lithuania has to offer and to find the most popular and successful ways of adaptation in this country. The data obtained will be statistically used and summarized in the bachelor's thesis work.
