Liepa

Pages about this Lithuanian girl from my past.

How It Was

One of the reasons I moved to Europe was to get a last-minute authentic experience before they ruined it — like the old Soboras Cathedral in Kaunas.

Corruption

It should be no surprise that a country whose capital city name means "Devil" would suffer corruption. Lithuania certainly has redeeming qualities, but the psychopathy deemed normal here cannot go unmentioned.

There is something almost hypnotic about Lithuania's slow lifestyle. You could easily waste your life here. It takes more willpower to leave than it should.

Imaginary Wars

A song about childhood and environmentalism. Seems relevant.
