KLAIPEDA - When on a trip last November to the U.S., a chatty girl sitting next to me on the New York-bound plane from Miami started a conversation and asked me where I was from, I told her I am from Lithuania. I can still remember her condolence-soaked Southern drawl: “Oh, is it one of those small sleepy countries in Europe, close to Russia?” Exuding a little patriotism, I swear I swallowed the description with difficulty, and then carefully chose my words so as not to offend the lass who, after all seemed to be more interested in the Miami skyline than the conversation at...  Full story...

How far will low-budget airline carry the Steel Magnolia?
KLAIPEDA - She hops onto a London-bound budget airline plane, snuggles up in her seat and even allows for a sneaky, quite blurry picture of her to be taken. And while on the ground, instead of letting the rift with the government taper off, she seems rather to be enjoying keeping up the heat. Are these signs that the Steel Magnolia - Lithuania’s President Dalia Grybauskaite - ...

For many, doing the right thing in Lithuania is still off into the future
KLAIPEDA - Strangely, when speaking of tolerance in Lithuania, even those who are in the position of standing up to the reality and making a change in many lives would rather keep their mouths shut for fear of drawing boos from quasi-patriots, or besmear their hard-earned reputations and waste the political brownies, as tolerance does not “sell” well in this country. Stigmas ov...

20th anniversary
The Baltic Times hosted a festive event on the evening of April 3 to commemorate its 20th Anniversary as the only English language newspaper covering all three Baltic countries. One of the highlights was a short film put together by its staff as a special tribute to the most amazing front pa ge news stories over the past 20 years. The guests, including many diplomats, prominent business people,...

Latvia’s unemployed sit at home while companies claim they can’t find workers
RIGA - With well over 100,000 people in Latvia looking for work, business people and politicians of all stripes can still be heard complaining about a serious shortage of workers. Proposed solutions abound, some realistic, others not. There is even a growing chorus for large-scale immigration to bring in laborers. The combination of a growing economy and the much-publicized Latvian emigration w...

Itsy-bitsy Lithuanian satellite on the way for a lengthy space journey
KLAIPEDA - Lithuania has never launched a satellite into space. Forget that! The small Baltic State cannot even boast its own national airline. But this could soon be turned around with the blast of a brick-size nano-satellite that two young, NASA-encouraged Lithuanian engineers have been working on. A long nurtured idea came true “Frankly, we’d long been cherishing the idea ...

Kilis’ challenges with higher education reform
The low level of academic research, the weak quality of study programs and a skewed financing plan explains in large part why many say that Latvia’s higher education system is in worrying shape. Since Roberts Kilis took charge of the Education and Science Ministry in October 2011, one of his goals has been to make reforms to the system and to bring it up to an internationally recognized, ...

Tiny Baltic print media: surprising variety of threads in the colorful quilt
KLAIPEDA - You may perhaps see similar newspaper layouts, the same garish eye-catching headlines and even perhaps similar article topics, but that’s where the similarity in the Baltic media of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania ends. Perhaps one can hardly find larger differences in the EU media landscape in such proximity as in that of the three tiny Baltic States, whose outer borders are a m...

Home labor is not “medieval,” but the 21st century’s right of choice!
KLAIPEDA - An increasing number of Lithuanian women due to give birth would love to hear their baby’s first cry in this world in a home setting. This isn’t yet possible.   Medieval… or modern? That would be a return to the medieval ages when women in childbirth had only one option - to give birth at home,” pouts the new Social Democrat Health Minister Vytenis...
