Partying Lithuanian style

Last night was very interesting. I just love how easy it is making friends here. Everytime we get off at our bus stop it seems we are making friends from all over the world. A group from Madrid arrived yesterday. They are attending the business school. So before we met left to meet Carolina, we stopped by their place because they live very close. At that point it was so cool because we could understand a little bit of their Spanish when they'd go back and forth between English and it. They were just moving in but we may be touring in the city with them soon. They also gave us some really helpful tips about where to visit when we travel to Spain. They said if we go to Barcelona, wait til it warms up, and if we go to Madrid, don't take the train. Little things like that are going to be very helpful. I think the one thing we really want to do now is make friends with a Dane. We need someone to tell us the rules of biking, tip or don't tip, and things like that.
Well we were supposed to meet our German friend Carolina at the bus stop yesterday and go to our first Danish bar in the city. I guess she left before we got there though. Then, we started to realize as we were walking around the kollegiet that there were quite a bit of parties. We actually ended up stumbling upon a birthday party. A guy holding a sword invited us after talking to us outside for a while. Turns out everyone was Lithuanian at this party. There was also a folk dancer... oh and a guy from Madrid who knew card tricks. Although he wasn't as good as my friend from home. It was about like any other college party though besides the different languages we were hearing.
We've also noticed everyone listens to American music. They say everything else sucks. After a couple of hours we left. Christina is african/african-american, and one of the cute Lithuanians all of the sudden started asking where she was from and announced himself as a racist. I wasn't even in the conversation, but I quickly turned around when I heard him say he hated asians, jews, africans, and muslims. However, he kept saying he didn't hate her because she was cute and nice. We were both shocked to experience something like that so early during this experience and in Denmark too. After he left we asked his friend if racism was common in Lithuania and he said unfortunately yes, but more so to Africans, not african-americans. Which is weird, I think that may be reversed in the states. He said not everyone feels that way, especially not him and his friend. It's terrible to hear that kind of hatred, but I guess as Kim said I guess you're going to meet a few assholes no matter where you travel to.
Today we are planning on meeting Eddie and Justin in the city. They are going to show us around since they have been studying here for about 2 or 3 years now. I think they're taking us to the harbor as well.
