It is amazing to me when I think that my grandparents on my mother’s side came from Lithuania and Latvia and I know virtually nothing about those places.
I know more about Botswana and Namibia than I know about Lithuania and Latvia.
This came up because I noticed that I seem to be on a mailing list for PR people pitching stories about Lithuanian startups.
So I guess I know something about Lithuania now – they have a startup culture.
My ancestors also came from Poland. I know a little bit about Poland, but not a lot.
