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.

Lithuanian Basketball, Jonas Kazlauskas and Other


Impressive knowledge from Beijing, China:

         Most our Chinese classmates know Lithuanian play basketball brilliant! A former coach of Chinese National Basketball Team is from Lithuania Jonas Kazlauskas. They know Lithuania is in Eastern Europe. I like history, so I know a little more. Lithuania is one of the Baltic country, capital Vilnius. Once allied with Poland and form a Federation. Then being eaten by Russian. After the October Revolution being independent again. Being eaten by Soviet Union again just before Germany occupation. Then becoming one republic in the Union till 1990, becoming the FIRST nation independent from the Soviet Union. After a conflict, the Union finally give up. Then I don't know anything, to tell you the truth.
