Vilnius spirit is not in these photos, and the photos are not professional, that angle just sucks, i just don't like them because they are less than ordinary.

I am living and working in Vilnius for 2 years. The guys that are writing this stuff dont know anything about Vilnius. Are they looking for a job as a journalist at Cafe Babel? If you want to find real information about life in Lithuania just check http://cartasdesdeleste.blogspot.com. M.

Hi there! @Sistem, @miquel p - what exactly is life in Vilnius like then? I don't see any defamatory depictions in these images. Could you let us into the secret on why they are so contrary?

Ehi guys... I agree with sistem and miquel... I'm here not since a long time but looking at these pictures I really don'realize nothing about Vilnius! Vilnius is not like that, here there are only street graffiti or young people doing something strange, but Vilnius is not anarchism or what! It is history, sometimes really suffering history such as Jewish such as communism, but now isn't like that anymore.... it's people who live here normally, with freedom and democracy like everywhere in Europe...probably better then anywhere in europe cause now they have a female president, which is great... in this year a "black" president in Usa and a Woman in Lithuania! Really fantastic!!!
