I am a member of Post Crossing, the internet project which allows people to exchange postcards: you send a postcard and you receive it back from a random postcrosser. After one year I came up with an amazing idea that the back of the postcard might be not less interesting than a picture on it. I thought it would be interesting to ask people to write anything they know about Lithuania or Lithuanians, to collect all these comments on one blog and to creat from them kind of e-puzzle of my native country.

Where is the geographical centre of Europe?


Here we go! Thank you, Rowan! A beautiful postcard from Great Britain showing Tower Bridge under construction in 1892 and the back of this card:

I don't know so much about Lithuania. I think I once read that it is the geographical centre of Europe - is this true? A friend told me you have beautiful forests.


 Talking about the geographical heart of Europe there are many countries (Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus etc.) claiming to have it on their teritory, but Lithuania seems to have the strongest claim confirmed by the French National Geographical Institut.
In added video you can see beautiful Lithuanian forests, best wishes to your friend!
