We have a flat, we also have an alotment outside the town. Pasvalys is a queit green town, there aren't many people. I love it here. In my free time I like cycling, working in our alotment and learning English. I really love listening to English audiobooks and radio programmes from the Internet. I think they are great to learn English.
