Have you studied in the Netherlands? We need you!

Hello, I am a student at KU Leuven (in Brussels, Belgium) and I am partnering (along with two partners: a Belgian and a Latvian) with my University for my thesis, "How to attract more potential students from the Baltic States."

I am asking that any student who is (1) from the Baltic States, and (2) studies (or has studied) in the Netherlands for their FULL TIME studies to fill out a quick survey. This will help us gain information on as to why universities in the Netherlands seem to be more popular than ones in Belgium.

The more responses we have, the better. I ask if you know someone who has studied in the Netherlands to please send this along so we have more data to work with :)

Thank you in advance and don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns!

Baltic States Research

Hello, I am a student at KU Leuven (in Brussels, Belgium) and I am partnering (along with two partners: a Belgian and a Latvian) with my University for my thesis, "How to attract more potential students from the Baltic States."

I am asking that any student or pupil from the Baltic States fill out this survey to gather data. It is a bit lengthy, about 10-15 minutes to fill out. However, the more responses we get, the better.

Thank you in advance and please contact me with any questions or concerns.

Hunting in Lithuania public or private land?

Can you hunt on Lithuania's public land when owning a hunting license or just on private land owned by hunting clubs.

I asked the same question twice on /r/Lithuania, but nobody answered.

Survey - Is it okay to wear outside shoes inside?

I'm doing a short, world-wide, anonymous survey about whether or not it's socially acceptable to wear outside shoes in someone's home. The thought originated in a post about shoes inside in r/AmItheAsshole. The survey is here https://forms.gle/by7aVGBRHxXTFMZY6. Please consider participating, whether you are from a state in the Baltic region or from anywhere else!

I am making a map of all of the survey answers along with the comments, which I will link to when I get more responses. I love the comments that I've been getting, so feel free to leave comments.

Mods, please let me know if this post is unacceptable.

Estonia and Nordic countries

Hi! I’m making a research, and I would like to know, why do Estonia wants to be counted as a Nordic/Scandivanian country? If someone could explain me, I would be grateful!

Translation

Could anyone translate the meaning of this text? A friend sent me this postcard and I could not translate it. I'm not even sure if it's Estonian or Latvian. Thanks.

The Hong Kong Way, on the exactly same day 30 years after the Baltic Way

Thirty years ago people of the Baltic countries formed a 44 km human chain to protest against the USSR. To commemorate the bravery of the Baltic people and the attract international attention to the ongoing resistance against the PRC, who is now stripping the autonomy of the Hong Kongers day by day, ~150000 Hong Kongers formed various human chains throughout this little metropolis.

English language podcasts about the Baltics

Hello everyone! For those of you looking for a "news in brief" podcast in English about what has happened in the Baltics each week, I would like to recommend my colleague Anna Ūdre's new The Baltic Reports podcast. Episodes are just seven minutes long, and keep you up to date with the essentials of what's going on in the region. You can listen to it here.

Also, if you're interested in a more in-depth show about just Latvia, I can also suggest my Latvia Weekly podcast that I've been doing with my friend since October. Each week we spend just under an hour discussing the major happenings of the week in a light-hearted and down-to-earth way, and over the summer we've also been doing special interview episodes with different interesting people making a difference throughout the country. You can find our podcast here, and on pretty much every major app.

If any of you have other suggestions for English language podcasts about the Baltic countries, please post them here!

Buying used motorcycles

Hey, Baltics, especially Latvians and Lithuanians. What sites are most popular for finding used motorcycles in your countries? Should I be aware of something before using them?
