Encounter is a type of orienteering competition with cars, but it is not enought to drive fast. The main point is how quick you can
decipher various hints. After decoding the hint you have to drive to the place where should be a code. Usually these places are
abandoned buildings 
Yesterday I have tried it myself

It was amazing! More than 20 teams (1 team approximately 6-10 people) are searching for codes in Elektrenai district and compete between each other

Definetely in such game one people doesn't mean as much as whole team

Everybody were saying that something in this weekend game was wrong... Maybe it was because almost all the places were abandoned farms and it becomes boring to look for codes in the same type of buildings?... But at the end of the game everything changed

One of the teams were attacked by village people ;D So more than 15 cars drove to help

Well there was nothing serious, but still very very good end of the game
Thanks Orient.lt team which let me join their team 
I really had a good time

One of the most difficult and longest
street challanges I have ever taken part in

Yes, it is
"Operation - clover" 
There were things that I didn't like (off road, maze of maize and police ;D), but definetely there were lots of things that made this event amazing (mane participants, tricky tasks...)

And the most important thing is that all the people (5 cars) from Astra club finished this street challange

Only 20 out of 42 made it
Astra club members took 1, 2, 6, 7, 13 and 17'th places

1. if you want to find pretty girls in London, try to do it in a museum or Oxford street, 2. Maserati, Bentley or Aston Martin aren't luxury goods in London, 3. Londoners use iPhones or Blueberries with mobile internet in order not to get lost in their own city, 4. Corset with ballerina's dress or hose with thin sweater is a new fashion? 5. British pub "White horse" in Piccadilly in number 1 pub, 6. You need 4 days to become a Londoner, 6. City of schizophrenics, 7. the most popular beer advertisement is a dark background and a bottle of beer opening it self with a huge fizz, etc. 
This is what
I found out during my trip to London 
It was the
first time I was in this
enormous city and I liked it very very much

It is a city where everybody could find what you are looking for
Museums, theatres, huge old buildings, lots of clubs, various shops and so on and so for...

It is
hard to express all the feelings in words 
Better to show some pictures!

So here it is -->

Harsh weather and traditional
rally "Aplink Lietuvą 2009" (eng. Around Lithuania)

Despite the fact it was cold and wet to watch, rally drivers managed to make us forget about all bad things

Do you remember
the greatest summer of your life?

Would it be truth if I say that it was
the summer between school and university?

One year ago I was a fresher and at the same time I heard about freshers' camp I decided to take part in it

And truly it was amazing! We found many new friends, had a lot of fun and learnt what we can do university. At the same camp we got an invitation to students' representation. Definitely, we all were so excited about freshers' camp which is being organized by students' representation that I and some other friends decided to join this organization

Finally, after a year we got an opportunity to organize
freshers' camp 
Whole summer was imposed to it, but those few days with new students and their huge sparkling eyes rewarded everything
This year freshers listened some lectures about new opportunities in university, had lots of games, danced all nights and found many new friends

Parachute jump may look quick and simple, but it isn't at all

Especially if you jump for a first time

Last Sunday we took our friend Tomas to Pociunai aerodrome for the first jump out of a plane

It was the simpliest jump with dome type parachute in 800 metre height

But despite this fact Tomas had to hear out
various instructions and practise with simulators 
One more thing must be noticed about
Pociunai aerodrom. Maybe because of perfect weather for jumps there was so many people... I have never thought that aerodroms in Lithuania prosper so good and there are so
many foreign people from Germany, Netherlands, Italy... 
It is very pleasure to find out this

If you are interested please ckeck out

Astra-club members continue tradition to
canoe together at least one time per year
This time we tried Šešupė river. Briefly
slack-water of river and
whole nature of scrub and nettles around is
awful, but such a
good company rasom everything 
Definitely, we had some more problems

Firstly, we haven't sent our data to frontier troops one day before canoeing

Šešupė flows almost in Russia so you have to have a licence

Secondly, we started our voyage too late

And that is why we finished first day almost at night

And thirdly,
we have lost one paddle... 
Of course, everything went good and all the
minuses were converted to pluses 
After voyage
we have visited some great places near road to Vilnius from Vilkaviškis

Here is some photos of superb weekend

Absolutely near to fiasco... This is what I can say about the event called "Let there be night"

The shortest night of the year Vilnius citizens and its guests do not sleep due to the fact that organisation "Vilnius - European culture capital of 2009" led us to new tradition, to spend all the shortest night of the year in various events

Definitely, a dream is quite beutiful, but reality is that this year there was too much inaccuracies and lags

Fortunately, I with my friends were in a very good mood so we didn't give it prominence

We were very happy of what we managed to see

Mimes, musicians, fakirs, dancers...

This is what you could see last night in Vilnius

If you wasn't here, probably you might want to see at least some photos

Last weekend
three beutiful persons: me, Vejunas and Toma decided to take part in touring rally near Kaunas 
It is about 100 km from our home city Vilnius

It was very early when we started our trip around Lithuania...

But we took Jurga with her energetic doggy to Kaunas and that small cute doggy woke up us fully

After some time we came to registration and started touring rally where we had to tent, make a fire, calculate azimuth, find check points in a forest and so on
After the rally we decided not to come back to Vilnius, but go ahead to Šiauliai (about 140 km from Kaunas)

There we took part in street challange
Next day Vėjūnas said that he doesn't want to come back to Vilnius so early (it was about 15 pm

)
So he suggested to go to Palanga (about 140 km from Šiauliai)

And this suggestion was brilliant

Between these two towns we also visited a private zoo of some animals

At last, when we came to Palanga the sky became absolutely blue

It was so relaxing...

But everything what is good ends...
About 9 pm we started our trip home
We were very tired, but that 340 km didn't look so much when a good company is in one car 
We hope this wasn't the last time of such spontaneous trip around Lithuania

Here we have
some photos
