Padlock-love




When you get married in Lithuania you buy a huge padlock and locks it to your nearest bridge-fence... It just seems so romantic.. I have no idea if they unlock the locks if they get a divorse - I hope not :-)
*********************************************************************************************************************
Everybody: Blogger works again! You guys were right - it was just messing up, now after about 3 days it's gone :-) HURRAY!
Lora: We ate the food at the art academie in Vilnius.. Yes it looks pretty east-block'ish, but then you should have seen the cantine at the place - it was so cool - pretty much like being send back in time :-)
Ulrikka and Linda: The penquin thing on the last pic was an ashtray...! A huge one!! Pretty weird designing an ashtray after a cute animal.. As if it was ment for children right? :-)
Oh and Martta thanks for the blogaward - I'll figure out something to writhe soon!!!
