After completing my grocery shopping adventure yesterday, I made it out to one of the many malls in town. I didn't get any photos of them (yet?) - but what impressed me most is that they far surpassed the size of many American malls. 
On the way to one of the malls, I passed a stadium that apparently was abandoned during construction. It's quite unusual to see just the skeleton of a stadium, with so many of the main components missing.

Vilnius didn't fall short of the other cities I've been to.

So, after two full days of travel (roughly - it depends how you want to count it - but it was 11:00 at night where I was when I stopped traveling) - I finally made it to Kaliningrad. In the airport, the baggage claim was an advertisement for a casino, which also doubled as a convenient way to spot where your own bag was located on the belt:
