Then I'm very screwed, I'm a Sardinian in Lithuania

( Sardinians are the shortest population in Europe,and Lithuanians one of the tallest )

Fratello! For me, being short seems to make people believe I am more approachable and that seems to work in my favour.

Thankfully it's not all about height, even though it's important. I'm sure you can sharpen other skills to make things go your way.

I'm sorry it wasn't understandable, but I was sarcastic, I'm doing great even if I'm the shortest

How did you end up in Lithuania from Sardinia? How's the life there for an engineer?

Kind of the classic story, my wife is Lithuanian. We first tried living in Sardinia but the job market in Sardinia is terrible, so we moved to her country so she could even more chances, and because I'm an Engineer for me finding work is easy in every country.

Here in Lithuania Engineers are paid very well and are in high demand. For "very well" I mean compared to the average salary in the country, obviously you will get less money compared to UK or Germany. Cost of life is way cheaper than UK or Italy, both food and rent/mortgage is less than the other two countries

Is it hard to illegally procure casu marzu in Lithuania?

I'm not a big eater of Casu Martzu, so I don't know if getting is hard, but my parents usually ship me some homemade cheese without problems, I believe they could ship also Casu Martzu without problems ( I don't think customs check what type of cheese is being shipped )
