- Beautiful Architecture
-
oh gosh....that is a question....I am european, I love european cities and their old towns....My favourite cities: Rome, Genoa, Vilnius, Tallinn and Barcelona. But I believe everyone has their own images that they like. I love Vilnius because I am from Lithuania and it is really beautiful...I should say that the old town in some sense it is very italian, as houses are painted in pastel colours. And it is super green, there are many parks, where you can chill around as well as many beautiful yards...I love Rome, because of all the history and all the small streets and its very own specific aura, though I would never live in Rome. I love Barcelona, because it has beautiful architecture (who does not know Gaudi and his works), balconies with load of flowers, seaside and sea breeze. I love Genoa, because it is a first foreign city that I spend load of time in and because it has long history of sea trading, so it has lots of influence of various cultures. I love Quebec, because it is so european that I feel at home :)

- On Same-Sex Marriage
-
I think that it is a personal decision for people to join lives together whether they are married or not. I really don't think that my approval change anything. However, I believe that everyone hae a right to be happy, whether they they have partner of the same or opposite sex. Marriage, for me, is a commitment for life, so if someone decides to make a conscious commitment why should i be against it?

- TV Commercials
-
Long time ago I decided not to watch TV, so I haven't had TV for at least 5 years, so it is hard for me to tell whether commercials are annoying or entertaining. Whenever I want to watch something, I choose streaming, so obviously their commercials are annoying as much as can be something annoying for couple seconds until you close the window. However, I think that commercials in general are just to create need for something that you actually don't need, to empower consumer society.

- Discovering New Books
-
I always struggle finding new books that I would like to read....I believe the best way is to ask around people with similar taste of yours to see whether they would recommend you something. I also think that it should be good idea simply to search book on internet depending on the authors that you already like through related search engine. The great thing about internet nowadays is that you can always ready parts of the book and decide whether you like it. I also simply go to the library and try to find books simply depending on the title and description of the book. Sometimes I win, sometimes I loose. Sometimes I use amazon as the search for the books, because I can read reviews and decide whether I might like the book or not. As I change my living places quite often I try not to buy books too often, because then I have to leave them if I change country or continent. I still have tons of books back in Lithuania at my parents attic that I would like to ship to me one day. Maybe when I will settle down finally :))))

- How I Spend My Time
-
I am quite consistent with what I do my free time...that would be working out, reading some book, surfing on internet, going to climb, cooking something new, baking some new dessert, spending time with my husband, watching TV shows (now I watch Parenthood) or watching some documentary, listening to audio books, writing blog, creating some new projects to do (I had crochet, finger painting, fire juggling, decoupage), going for a swim...
