Walk through the good and bad Vilnius

• Walk through the good and bad Vilnius

At first, like the tradition to make a report 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 true. Good and bad are so closely intertwined in Vilnius that you can not separate them in any way. They simply can not exist without each other. Chip and Dale, like Bonnie and Clyde.

If you see a nice clean yard, then rest assured: the neighboring yard is broken, cluttered and dirty machines. Next to the modern skyscraper will be sure to be rotten, rickety hut. The first-class carriage necessarily go down drunk 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, the two teams work: 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 so far they sure 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 for tourists.

You walk through the city center, lovely clean streets. Why not Europe? Elegantly simple!

But it is necessary to go into the yard - and there is a village. Rotten old ramshackle sheds. AS?! How can they live with licked facades on the tourist streets?

This Vilnius

This is Vilnius

While a good mayor of restoring the facades of tourist attractions, the other destroys the few remaining old buildings.

In the background huts in Vilnius increased business district with skyscrapers.

No, that's way better on the background of the old rickety huts are modern nebokreby. How is this show separately?

most of the city center. By the way, all these houses live terribly vicious dogs. If I was not afraid of dogs, I would nasnimal you more trash. So that the dog saved a certain degree of shame Vilnius

A good mayor cuts lawns, bad mayor can not pull out the weeds for years between the plates on the waterfront.

Beautifully

The front facade of the old town

The harsh reality, which is not seen by tourists

In Vilnius, build new buildings of glass and concrete

This can neither carry nor repair splinters of the Soviet empire

On the one hand - neat public area near the entrance to a nice hotel, but next - garbage and broken benches that nobody touched since the Union

In Vilnius skyscrapers and can not repair the sidewalks

In Vilnius, you can see a gorgeous stop with automatic toilet. Look, how lovely! How plitochki laid? Kaif easy!

In this case, the corner will be the old Soviet boards, which are already up scattered reinforcement. What a disgrace.

In Russia, of course, there is such a nightmare.

In Vilnius are able to bring the building in order ...

And no, I do not know how. The main thing - do not come close.

On the one hand Vilnius seeks to escape to Europe

But wrinkled clawed paw Soviet past Vilnius puts in place.

Vilnius is very worried because of the "Soviet occupation." On the green bridge are Soviet sculptural groups, including a pair of Soviet soldiers. In front of them hung NATO flags.

At one time, we wanted to demolish the sculpture, but kept adding a sign telling about the difficult history of Lithuania under the Soviet boot.

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

Underfoot ...

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

But Vilnius - not Paris, of course. People got to do live our Soviet, so park in Vilnius, like an asshole.

In terms of parking culture can say that Moscow - a European city than Vilnius. We, of course, also have enough assholes, but that so massively ...

Beautiful modern skyscraper building good mayor

A bad mayor night paints the wall of an apartment house across the street.

According to the mold and mildew on the walls, gutters have fallen long ago. Themselves in the middle of the street very clean

But we know that there can not be something just good in Vilnius. If somewhere clean streets, then near the entrance to the courtyard is stinking crap arch.
