Uzupis Constitution
Editor's review
Affixed in three languages to a crumbling wall on Paupio gatve, Uzupis' offbeat, yet sincere constitution is worth seeking out. In turns heartfelt, aloof and absurd, the constitution's 41 points boldly assert that everyone has the right to be...well...human:
"Everyone has the right to love."
"Everyone has the right to idle."
"Everyone has the right to be misunderstood."
Though it's origin is slightly shrouded (in mystery of course), we can only speculate that it was drafted in a candlelit room with a quill pen, having been given the names of its creators as "Thomas (Jefferson) Cepaitis" and "Romas (George Washington) Lileikis." Self-proclaimed Ambassador and President of the Republic respectively, these two founders helped father their mock state in 1998. Today you can find their 41 'commandments' around the corner from Uzupio Picerija.

Soul Box Jamie: Funky place. Bit like Pharmacy was in London in the 90's. Akropolis David, aka Dovydas: Everywhere is just like everywhere else. Soon everywhere will be called 'The Mall', you'll have to go online to check where you live. Like most tourists I had to rely on public transport/ taxis so info on how to reach the Akropolis by bus should be easier to find (53 or 062 from the Bus Station, next to the Railway Station). I would say it compares favorably to Malls in the UK. I've been to Meadowhall (139,355m²) a few times. Meadowhall has 12,000 parking spaces so the 3,200 at the Akropolis may soon prove to be inadequate as you really need a car to visit. Meadowhall Interchange (bus, train and tram) is a couple of minutes away, it's also just a few minutes away from the M1; but it is the only UK Mall with these transport links (apart from the tram network, these links were already in place). Sheffield and Vilnius both have populations of about 550,000 and local catchment areas of around 800,000 to about one million so apart from the recession, with good management both should have a bright future. Salento DiscoPub Guest: lovely Europos Parkas Marcin: This place looks really great fun! It reminds me a bit of the Lem Science Garden in my home town of Krakow - a great place to get out and enjoy! If I come to Vilnius, I will definitely go to Europos Parkas!
