  1. In honor of your 35th years of independence I made this wooden disk for my wife to place over her home office desk (she’s from Kaunas originally).

    Made on my Xtool M1 Ultra from 3mm ply.

    Wishing you all the best for many more years of freedom and peace from the Netherlands!

  2. People have been living here since the iceage so its pretty funny to see dates attached to the name. The name literaly means Lietus (rain) Va (here) or Lietus Vieta (place). Either way means the place of rain in the current form, before (roughly 1000ad) when our language was more related to polish and prussian Litwa had a similar meaning as Litus or Lyt meant rain or to rain, we still use Lyti/Lyja/Lis to this day. Eventhough its quite easy to tell, many locals i asked dont know why its called what it is. Sources tie the word to strange words of other languages claiming it came from else where, not taking into account our own cultures history and no longer in use words. Lietuva – Lietaus vieta.
    Nice plaque.
