Good and bad Vilnius, Lithuania

First I wanted to make a record of the traditions about the good and bad Vilnius, but changed his mind. The reader might have been a false impression that Vilnius can be divided into good and bad. This is not so. Good and bad are so closely intertwined in Vilnius that separate them did not. They simply can not exist without each other. Chip and Dale, Bonnie and Clyde.

If you see a nice clean yard, then rest assured: the neighboring yard is broken, cluttered and dirty cars. Next to the modern skyscrapers necessarily be rotten, rickety hut. In the first-class carriage necessarily go down n * yany Gopnik. Good and bad in Vilnius can not be without each other.

By the end of the day I realized that in Vilnius, most likely, there are two teams: good and bad mayor. When a good mayor puts the tiles on the sidewalk, bad breaks adjacent road. Two teams compete to see who can first capture the city, but is confident they draw. The intricacies of the Vilnius economy I do not know much about, maybe the mayor then one day he just builds the city, and at night - breaks. Mayor werewolf, a beautiful story to tourists.

05. As long as a good mayor of restoring the facades of tourist attractions, the other destroys the few remaining old buildings.



06. Against the background of huts in Vilnius increased business district with skyscrapers.



07. No, that's way better on the background of the old rickety huts are modern nebokreby. As it is a separate show?



08. The center of the city. By the way, all of these houses live terribly vicious dogs. If I was not afraid of dogs, nasnimal to you more trash. So the dogs rescued in some degree from the Vilnius shame;)

26. But it's time to move on ... Nicely, you know!



27. underfoot ...



28. In Vilnius, learned how to make a car rental service network: the special parking lot can take the car for a couple of hours and put in a different place. Just like in Paris.

For all evrodrocherov say at once: the post is not to show that Europe was going to die, and the like, but in order to make it clear that there is nothing special. Nothing that is worth idealizing while pouring slops Russia.
