Shocking politeness in Lithuania. Normal in Eastern Europe? I just came back from a short trip to Vilnius. Something that completely shocked me was how extremely polite the men there are. Holding doors with a smile, giving up seats, asking to carry luggage… I have traveled a decent amount but only in the Nordics, UK and USA. Is this specific to Lithuania or is this eastern European culture? What countr…

Where would be the best city to visit in Colorado for first time visitors wanting to observe the beautiful sceneries? Our goals are to relax and get beautiful scenic views, but we will not be hiking. For fun we will just be eating, shopping, and enjoying the views. I was hoping we could see mountains and maybe some waterfalls or lakes. The city I am leaning towards right now is Telluride. submitted by /u/Happy_Bee1

Going.com still good for cheap flights? I saw a bunch of people recommending going.com to find cheap flights for their local airports (all about timing the flights, not deals) – but it was 7 months ago and these platforms tend to enshittify ….anyone know if it’s still good or what’s better? submitted by /u/colossuscollosal
