Actually Belarus is no tourist country, the hotels are expensive and some are not even very good. Same with Moscow. Actually St. Petersburg is even more worth to visit than Moscow. If you ask me I would just go to the Krim in the Ukraine, lol, or Sochi or Novorossisk...something at the sea...

Well moscow is quite a touristy place, so is st.petersburg but it would be really expensive, i don't know what esc will be like there next year if anyone can afford it.

ybet · Koldunistrator

In the news they said that it will be the most expensive esc ever! =/

nadia · Koldunistrator

It will, i've seen lots of reports on esctoday and all they say is how it's expensive and you can't get cheap hotels and food is also expensive. But i'm sure it'll be cheaper if you just eat in little cafes all the time, even in expensive cities like london you can find cheap places to eat and stay.

ybet · Koldunistrator

so, i guess it won't ne so many ppl in that year's esc lol

nadia · Koldunistrator

Well people will still come but have no money lol

My country and Belarus is near each other. Earlier Lithuania was bigger and Belarus' area belonged to it. So now there are some historical places which are about my country's history but are in Belarus' area. I would like to see them. But nowadays it's so hard to go to Belarus from my country...:(

My bigesst dream is to visit Russia and of course I'd like to go to Belarus :) I think that all slavic people are nice and friendly :):)

Actually, my dad just came back from Belarus and he sais that it is very expensive because there are a lot of imports from germany. However, if you go to the bazaar, you would be sure to find some cheap treasures. My father also said that it is very beautiful and modern, but a lot of teens there smoke and drink.

Oh, completely forgot to mention the RADIATION. Chernobyl, the nuclear explosion that dima is always talking/joking about, has become a very serious problem there.

nadia · Koldunistrator

Well they are still recovering from Soviet so it will be a bit different to other countries.

TatyanaIV · I'm For You

What do you mean?

nadia · Koldunistrator

Well there is a boy in my school from Belarus and he says it is very expensive there and the kids smoke and drink a lot there.

TatyanaIV · I'm For You

He is correct. But what does that have to do with the former soviet union? I am just trying to understand what you mean.

nadia · Koldunistrator

I mean that they were under control of the soviet union and there wasn't much freedom so they are different as a country to other countries that have always had lots more freedom.

TatyanaIV · I'm For You

It has been nearly 2o years since the fall of the soviet union. People and countries have moved on....

I second what you said, ybet! :) I would absolutely love to go to Russia. My college does trips to Russia every few years for the students of that language (there are also trips to mexico, france, and so on). I'm hoping to go next time. That would be so awesome!!
I never thought of buying cds while there, that's a great idea. They would be a lot more likely to be found there. :)

nadia · Koldunistrator

Well actually the fall of soviet russia was in 1991 so it's only been about 16 years and countries like belarus weren't independant for a little while after that.

TatyanaIV · I'm For You

Correct. Nearly 20 IS 16 years. Nevertheless, many people in Belarus have become wealthy as a result of the oil prices, just like in Russia. Like in any country, there are poor people and there are rich people. The biggest problem for Belarus to date is the effect of the radiation. I was born in Belarus, by the way.
