Empty Stage


Vilnius Town Square is the best place in city for mass events and demonstrations.
For example this photo was taken few minutes after honoring of National Basketball team, the winner of the world U19 Championship, which was held in Riga. I was a bit late :(

Downtown


Vilnius downtown is located in Šnipiškės area. Because of all these skyscrapers gathered in one place, Vilnius looks like any other American city with downtown in the middle.
Interesting fact is that Lithuanian currency Litas was pegged to USD from 1994 to 2002, which shows some very close connection between Lithuanian and US, I just don't understand which one and why? :)
