On the other hand, if, for whatever reason, you had only 10$ left and had nowhere to stay over night... :D It surely didn't cost any more, did it?

:D

Hey i assure you it was extremely cheap. i'm not sure now (it was back in 2005) but i think we paid about 3 Euros each. When i lived in Vilnius back then things where different, its amazing how everthing changed in 2 years.

Hehe...I usued to live 10 minutes away from this place before I moved to Russia. And the room does not look that bad! It is not cared-of proeperly, but still, you can sleep there.

but the soviet context makes it a perfect clichè
