LIFT Vlog Episode 72: Kaunas, Lithuania
Hi guys, here's the second vlog from my recent trip to Lithuania, this time featuring the second biggest city in Lithuania, Kaunas. I only took a day trip there rather than stay overnight there, but there was certainly enough to keep you entertained should you decide to spend a few days there. I hope this video will inspire you guys to travel! I love Lithuania, look out for part 3 soon when I will turn my attention to the capital city Vilnius. Many thanks for watching.
Hi limpeh! I would like to ask u a question that is completely unrelated to this post...my friends have been talking about where else to park their money and assets when and if Singapore starts to go downhill in terms of their economy (eg when PAP loses). Do you think UK is a good alternative or are economical prospects not looking good for uk too? Thanks!
Hi Penny, firstly, I don't think there is any correlation between the PAP losing an election and the economy going downhill. Believe you me, the PAP is fully capable of f#cking up the Singaporean economy whilst still winning every election because they are simply incompetent and make bad decision after bad decision. The fate of the Singaporean economy is tied to the wider world as Singapore is a small country that relies so much on trade with her neighbours and other trading partners from further a field, it relies on investment and others having faith in the Singaporean model - so things will go downhill, say if there is a big recession and it hits China hard and boom, Singapore is affected. Probably nothing to do with which party is in government, everything to do with China's economic prospects.
That said, there's a lot of uncertainty in the UK this week as we're having a referendum on Thursday, wait for the result at the end of the week. If we remain in the EU, then it's good. If we vote to leave, then that's bad news. Right now, it is about 50-50 and nobody really can predict what the outcome will be. In the long run, if you're just looking to park your money - I say Australia and NZ are probably the best places in the world: safe, stable and most of all, isolated from the rest of the world by their unique geography. So if a war breaks out, who's going to sail halfway down the Pacific ocean to invade NZ? Probably the safest country in the world by that token and a pretty lovely place to live too.

If you'd heading up the slope behind the mosque, you would've reached the Sugihara House. It's a humble place with an extremely heart-warming story.
