Huh....that's surprising i live in Vilnius my whole life and often go out at nights and was attacked only ~7 times in my entire life.That's definitely not Russians causing main problem.Problem is caused by a few reasons first being alcohol and the fact that most Lithuanians are very short-tempered , tough it may not looks so from outside another thing is drugs , junkies don't kill much , but they rob a lot.

You write only seven times? Maybe we have different standards but in a normal town of that size that's extremely much...

Your post shows pretty well that it is extremely dumb to look at this geopolitical "region" as something identical. These 3 countries are small, but the differences(cultural, historical, mentality, factors causing crime etc) between them can be huge.

That's true. Estonians resemble Finns, while Lithuanians resemble Poles. Poles and Finns are very different already.

Nah, I just hate subhuman immigrants, who aren't capable of acting like Europeans, with passion.

I have a friend who was an exchange student in Brazil and I doubt that the situation is like that here. She was driven to school and back to home every day, as walking was too dangerous.

Which city did she go to? And did the school pay for her personal driver or did she pay it herself?

That's the same number of times I was robbed in my life. And I used to walk alone at night (2:00 AM, 3:00 Am) when I was younger (not wise, but I was younger), not to mention I live in a big Brazilian metropolis. It's interesting (and sad) to know that some places in Europe are as bad as here.

Or maybe my perception could be due to the fact that in Spain public intoxication is very rare and frowned upon.Rowdy drunks get their asses kicked mercilessly and without hesitation,because it is not the alcohol's fault that you are drunk,it is your fault if you drink so much or so fast that you cannot control yourself in public.

I think in general (my personal opinion based on my own experience) young spaniards drink as much or even more than northerns. However there´s a big difference with adult people over their 30´s. It´s very rare to see drunk people in their 50´s around here unless they´re social scum. But for example when i made a trip (viking line powah!) Stockholm-Helsinki there were manyy of them completely drunk sleeping in the stairs! Even the mother of my ex-irish flatmate got wasted with us when she came to Madrid to visit her! That would be totally unbelievable for a spanish mother

Alcohol consumption:

Off topic, but I can't help to ask. What's up with Uganda and alcohol in Africa?

Yeah, I think that's a lot even for the average Peruvian. Damn.

Could be anything really. I have a feeling that the methods they use to compile statistics in Africa aren't the most reliable ones.
