Tiesto at Palanga


This photograph is not really related to Vilnius, but rather to Lithuanian resort city Palanga and its famous Friday's guest Tiesto.
At background you can see Tiesto's personal transport Cessna XLS parked in Palanga International Airport next morning, which is worth a bit less than 10,000,000 USD.
Private planes look always impressive and motivating for me. Only powerful country leaders have own plane and now Tiesto :)

Nan Bei


Nan Bei for me sounds like copy to Gan Bei (popular Latvian Sushi place), but I don't see any logic here as in case with Kabuki/Labuki.
Update: Chinese Nan Bei restaurant in Vilnius is not related anyhow with Japanese Restaurant Gan Bei in Riga. On top of that, the service and prices here could be much better.
