Vilnius In Your Pocket
It's barely the middle of March as we sit and scribble the last few words of this online update, and already one major Lithuanian bank's gone out of business and the neo-Nazis and their embarrassing nationalist friends have once again paraded through the centre of Vilnius in a desperate attempt to return to life in the 19th century and generally make fools of themselves. The good news is that with the majority of the bad PR out of the way so soon in the year, Lithuania's splendid little capital city is now free to get on with the ongoing task of transforming itself from the former Soviet backwater it recently was into the leading European centre of modernity the overwhelming majority of its inhabitants clearly want it to be.
Vilnius In Your Pocket is once again at the vanguard of these changes, reflecting in the time-old fashion of laying ink onto paper these changes with as much honesty and good humour as we can muster. As always, find a veritable smörgåsbord of useful and intelligent information aimed at enlightening readers and generally helping them navigate their way through the city as easily as possible. Praise and abuse as always to
