First of all, you lucky to have Lithuanian gf. ;]
Well, in Lithuania basically everything is how Roel told. Don't be surprised that everyone (men) will shake hands with you. That is the common welcome in Lithuania. Be careful of so many sales, most of the are misleading and has no discount. Better have some Lithuanian friends with you if you go to club or else where for the night. If some one will ask you for a smoke, be ready to fight.:\
Don't be surprised if people will be cold. Most are couscous and as France study shows Lithuanians are second according closure (low emotional expression).

As i work for Lingua Lituanica I would suggest you a intense summer course:August 5 to 17 2013, Lingua Lituanica will hold a two-week Lithuanian language Summer Course. Separate groups for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students are planned. The Course runs for 4-6 academic hours per day, with Language practice for 44 hours and Lithuanian history, literature and ethnology for 6 hours. Students will participate in interesting activities to develop their communication skills and enjoy a diverse cultural programme. Intensive Summer Course is the best way to learn language quickly!!!
We are supported by Lithuanian Language Society.
