Three postcards from Perm, Russia:
National courses. Potatoes is one of the most important element of Lithuanian dish, but people also eat much fish and any pies. I heard that not numerous nation from oriental lands inhabit in country and they cook amazing meatpies which called 'kibinai', these pies are bought by tourist beside the Trakai castle.
Lithuania was a part of Rzecz Pospolita. Poles took their nearest neighbours for perilous wizards, because a lot of population lived on territory surrounded by forests and swamps.
I heard that Lithuanians had plenty of pagan Gods, more than one hundred; Perkūnas's supremacy divinity of thunder and lightening, perhaps, you know, Slavic people believed similar God what was called Perun. I like mystery story about Gediminas dream and building Vilnius (Iron wolf)... And great to hear - unusual place Cross' museum on open air situated just in Lithuania.
I would like to say few phrases about literature of your native country. When I was a child I used to enjoy Lithuanian national fairytale ''Egle's Grass-snake's Queen'', later I read excellent poem about these personages by S.Neris. I have illustrated tales' book where Lithuanian girl in folk clothes was showed... Sure I read poems by well-known Adam Mickiewisz, especially I loved 'Gražina'. But in my opinion, one of the most interesting narrative about Lithuania become P.Merime story 'Lokis', it's very exciting.
