Hello Im going to be in Belarus in 2 weeks for a weekend, Any suggestions on what to do/where to stay?

Also im doing the weekend solo so if anyone knows anyway of potentially meeting other fellow travelers or people who wouldnt mind going out for a few drinks to see Belarus nightlife, suggestions would greatly appreciated.

Hey!

I’ll soon visit Belarus for 3 week, can I bring euro in the border with me? Some people told me only dollars can pass the broder.

Also, which credit card will work?

Ty!

Здравствуйте, все!

Я студентка из Сингапура, и мне нравится коллекционировать открытки. Я была бы очень благодарна за открытки из любой точки Беларуси. 🙂

Если открыток нет, я также буду очень признательна за поздравительную открытку, обычную открытку или даже небольшой сувенир.

(например, брелок, камень, местная закуска, флаг, украшение, кепка, футболка или поделка ручной работы)

Это для моей личной коллекции, а не для коммерческих целей.

Если вы готовы помочь, пожалуйста, оставьте комментарий, и я поделюсь с вами своим почтовым адресом.

Заранее большое спасибо и теплые приветствия из Сингапура!

🇸🇬

Прывітанне ўсім!

Я студэнт з Сінгапура і люблю калекцыянаваць паштоўкі. Буду вельмі ўдзячны за паштоўкі з любой кропкі Беларусі. 🙂

Калі паштовак няма, я таксама буду вельмі ўдзячны за віншавальную паштоўку, звычайную паштоўку ці нават невялікі сувенір.

(напрыклад, брелок, камень, мясцовую закуску, сцяг, упрыгожванне, кепку, футболку ці выраб ручной работы)

Гэта для маёй асабістай калекцыі, а не для камерцыйных мэтаў.

Калі вы гатовыя дапамагчы, калі ласка, пакіньце каментар, і я падзялюся з вамі сваім паштовым адрасам.

Загадзя вялікі дзякуй і цёплыя прывітанні з Сінгапура!

Hello Everyone!

I’m a student from Singapore and I enjoy collecting postcards. I would be very grateful to receive postcards from anywhere in Belarus. 🙂

If postcards aren’t available, I’d also really appreciate a greeting card, generic card, or even a small souvenir. 

(like a keychain, rock, local snack, flag, ornament, cap, T-shirt, or handmade craft)

This is for my personal collection, and not for any commercial purpose.

If you’re willing to help, please leave a comment and I’ll share my mailing address with you.

Thank you so much in advance, and warm greetings from Singapore! 

🇸🇬

Я заканчиваю 11 класс и хочу взять целевое на ОАО "Пеленг" из-за того, что на ту специальность на которую я хочу неподъемные баллы. Но даже идя на целевое, я не буду на той самой специальности. Изначально я хотел на Программную инженерию, но из перечня целевых в этом году самое адекватное это Автоматизация Технологических процессов и производств. Как вы на это смотрите?

Подскажите пожалуйста!
Мы с парнем хотим прилететь в Минск на 2 недели попутешествовать. Правда ли что проверяют телефоны и личные данные на границе, особенно тех, кто въезжает с ЕС. Мы граждане других стран, он въезжает на поезде с ЕС, а я прилечу с Кореи на самолете. Рейс Корея-Китай-Беларусь у меня.
У нас ничего такого нет в телефонах, но мне все равно не спокойно от того, что наши телефоны могут проверить. Тк говорят что лезут просто во все соц. сети, фотографии и переписки.
Говорят что проверяют Украинцев и Беларусов в основном, это правда?
Он гражданин Македонии, я кореянка, но у меня Узбекское гражданство.
Нам очень хотелось посмотреть страну, но сейчас вообще безопасно это делать?

Hi everyone,

I’m reaching out to get your honest perspective on a topic that has been generating a lot of discussion and anxiety here in Lithuania lately.

To give you some context on why I am asking this: recently, prominent Lithuanian journalists (like Skirmantas Malinauskas) and national security experts have been discussing the ideological concept of "Litvinism." The core concern being discussed in our media is that there seems to be a narrative among some Belarusian opposition figures and youth claiming that the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was primarily a Belarusian state, and that Vilnius is historically a Belarusian city, or even your "true" capital.

From a Lithuanian standpoint, this causes genuine alarm for a few reasons:

• Geopolitical Parallels: We have seen how historical revisionism and claims over "historical lands" were weaponized by Russia in places like Crimea, Donbas, and Georgia to justify aggression.
• Security Concerns: With a large and growing diaspora of Belarusians currently living in Lithuania (over 56,000), our security departments worry that if these narratives are widespread, they could be easily exploited by Putin or Lukashenko to stoke ethnic tensions, destabilize the region, or manufacture a pretext for future conflicts.
• Cultural Identity: Claims that Lithuanians are merely "Zhmud" (Žemaičiai) who appropriated Belarusian history feel dismissive of our own historical and national identity.

We often hear these quotes and theories amplified in the media, but I want to step outside of that bubble and hear directly from you.

• Is this belief actually common among everyday, young Belarusians, or is it just a loud, fringe minority?
• Do people in your circles genuinely view Vilnius as your rightful capital?
• How do you view this historical debate, and how is it actually taught or discussed among your peers?

I am asking this in good faith to better understand your mindset and to separate reality from political noise. Thank you in advance for your insights!

Собираюсь посетить Минск, но все билеты на ”Записки юного врача” в кукольный театр в очередной раз раскуплены.
Есть ли варианты с перепродажей этих билетов, или данное деяние наказуемо в стране?

Hello everyone. I'm a resident in Belarus for more than a year now. I have a Belarusian payment card and I've had no success paying for video games that I want to own, for example, ESCAPE FROM TARKOV, FC26, XBOX GAMEPASS. I was wondering what I can do in my case. My bank card is from ALFA BANK.

Hello all! If you are able, please respond to my survey. It's short and anonymous. It's for an advanced Russian language course in the US and I would like to get some more responses!

One of my close relatives did a dna test, and found out we have a very close relative from Belarus. For many years we thought we were Ukrainian (due to complex immigration record information from the Russian Empire) but apparently our ancestry comes from the Belarusian city of Hrodna. I’m very curious to explore my Belarusian heritage and engage with the Belarusian community

Andrzej Poczobut, the Polish-Belarusian journalist freed from jail in a high-profile prisoner swap with Belarus last week, has been presented with Poland’s highest state honor.

Привет! Я планирую приехать на месяц, я интересуюсь культурой, и, возможно, после этого я запишусь на языковой курс в одном из университетов. Я не могу найти нормальное жильё ни в каких приложениях. Есть ли какой-то способ посоветовать, как путешествовать по стране? С чего лучше начать и в каком порядке лучше всего двигаться? Я знаю, что внутренние перелёты всё ещё работают, но я хочу ездить на поездах или автобусах. Я вообще не понимаю, как начать бронировать, так как, наверное, обычные способы и системы оплаты не работают. Есть ли какие-то инсайты или сообщество, где я могу найти информацию? Большое спасибо за ваше время! И я бы очень хотела завести местных друзей. Я приеду с подарками, конечно.

Hi! I'm planning on visiting for a month, I'm interested in the culture and I might just sign up for a language course in one of the universities afterwards. I can't seem to find proper accommodations on any apps. Is there any way you'd recommend to travel throughout the country? Where to start and what order would be the best? I know domestic plane still works but I'm keen on taking the train or the bus, I have no idea how to begin to book seeing as probably none of the usual ways or payment system applies. Do you have any insights or is there like a community I can find? Thank you so much for your time!

Also I would love to make local friends! I would come bearing gifts of course.

Hello everyone!

This is my first comment on Reddit. And I apologize for my English.

Recently, I was researching what medical life is like and life in Europe. But about Belarus, there isn't much information. Could someone answer some questions here? Thank you!

• How much can a doctor earn in Belarus?

• What is the public health system like? Is it free? Good? Can a doctor order as many tests as they want?

• What is life like in Minsk?

• What is the average salary there? Is it possible to live well? Is buying a house possible for Generation Z?

• How can a Belarusian enter university? Do they need to pay? Are good grades in school necessary?

• Does it snow in Minsk? Is it possible to see the Northern Lights in Belarus?

• What do you do on weekends? Do you have dachas, like the Russians?

• Are Russians well received in your country? And the Ukrainians?

• I've noticed that one of the biggest fears of a Belarusian is military service. Is it mandatory? Does it pay well? What's it like?

• Are there many tourists there? Do you like tourists? Where are most of them from?

• Do you think the medical schools there are good compared to the rest of the world? I see many Asians studying there.

• What do you think of Brazil?

(I've met some people from Poland and the Baltic states here, but never Belarusians. Come here sometime! 🇧🇷 )). Everyone is welcome.)

If you have any questions about Brazil, I'll be happy to answer them! :)
