Yes, it's a lovely place to visit and the people are so helpful. There are some very nice cities and some beautiful parks. Minsk is a clean, safe city and my favourite city is Gomel)))

Most Americans probably don't know much. People with a decent education might know that it is a country and generally know where to find it on a map. Of course some people would know quite a lot. Nine years ago, one of my professors described Belarus as 'a place where the Soviet Union still exists'. He said this was the case for many reasons, including even the design of military uniforms and insignia, which were very similar to the Soviet versions. I met quite a few people from Belarus in my time in Poland. Not all, but many, had some Polish family background and were there studying. But I also there were others. I remember giving a tour around Krakow to a girl from Minsk and she was surprised by all the garbage and graffiti on the streets. So, according to her, Minsk is a much cleaner place.

While reading American newspapers and news websites, I have learned only one thing about Belarus. It is something rather negative about the political situation there. So I shall not repeat it here. I am sure, however, that there are some good things about Belarus. Like all countries, the food is probably delicious, and most of the people are probably like people everywhere else: they just want to live happy lives.

Well, I do! What I know is more concerning to the language system. You have two main languages which is Russian and Belorussian but apparently Russian is more used than the other one. There are some political stuff going on the country and some people are not really happy with it.

Yes, Belarus is careful land)))
