Nice one Niall and lots of good tips and considerations for those thinking of making the leap but haven't yet done so. Zero regrets having done it myself.
Thanks, that was very inspiring and I really needed this today
Good to see you back Niall!
Another great Vlog, thank you mate.
Good to see you back 👌
Wonderful video as always
Always good to hear your views Irish. I’ve been to Japan many times (25+) as the Mrs is from there. Eventually we will spend time - hopefully 6 months here, 6 months there. Nice if you can do it I suppose. Central Tokyo isn’t for me, but last trip back in December, we found a lovely fishing village on the coast where I could happily spend the winter and Spring. We aren’t getting any younger and you can do this at any age, I’m 47. I expect we will aim for our early 50s. Proper planning essential like you say.
I would love to hear how you ended up choosing Bulgaria instead of France. Surely you didn’t just get on the wrong bus at Victoria Coach station?! 😀😳
Good to see you interacting with some locals..more of that. Maybe a social experiment to see how the people really aren't good at small talk!
Lol, I was in Dublin and around Cork for a week and I never saw the sunshine once, Belarus looks awesome.
Great video Niall!
Weather looks nice over there, Very warm in Belfast here.
The weather has been so gorgeous for last week here in Dublin too and I mean the proper sunshine like
Hit the beach.
There is no jobs in Ireland, no medical care ( 4 weeks waiting list for an appointment with horrendous toothache), no public transport in towns and villages, cold houses and sky rocket cost of leaving brrrrr ...
Loved Vitebsk from the first time I visited.
In my retirement I hope to live there.
Just remains to be seen.
Good to get a new vid! Thx! Being from Ireland did you have any 1st hand experience with the troubles? A vid on that would be good.
I don't plan on one but thanks for the suggestion.
Hi Niall , another great video ! Wife and I are currently in Gluboke but be in Minsk for 3 nights from tonight if you up for a beer ? We currently living in Bulgaria but considering moving here be great to hear your thoughts over a pint.
good for you bro, enjoy.
Had a chance to move to Minsk in 2005 regret it to this day it wouldn’t have made richer but my life would have definitely been more fulfilling. Great video by the way not as good as food o clock but still good .
You're probably much better off where you are...
Very inspiring. I'm one of those people who has been wanting to make that move and come back to Belarus. But unfortunately the wife refuses and my son is in America, and he's not going anywhere. How tragic.
Hope to see you this summer Denis.
@@IrishPartizan You will indeed! I've ordered the tickets. Nothing in America could make me want to stay here. The country has degraded just like Ireland and most counties in the West.

Maybe she doesn’t want to live in a dictatorship that’s supporting an ideologically fascist invasion of one of its neighbors.
Gee I wonder why your wife doesn't want to live full time in a dictatorship?
If I visit Minsk, would you give me a tour?
Good and informative video. I hope you had that beer.
If they don't like small talk, how do you start/have conversations with strangers?
Positive thinking.
Green ish video ❤I guess I miss how and when you settled down in Belarus.
Thoughts and prayers for sasha. Hope he recovers from his bout with pukinitis
Haha, good one :D
Thank you and spokóynoy Nóci
Even belarus has an underground metro system, maybe dublin will have one in the next century 😂
You think? I wonder
The Dublin Metro was first planned in 1975. 48 years later and still no metro except two glorified tram lines. The Minsk Metro was first planned in 1969. They began building it in June 1977 with the first stage completed in 1984. Since then two lines have been built with the third line currently being expanded. It seems that Belarusian planners leave their Irish counterparts in the dirt.
@@IrishPartizan I totally agree. Very short of car parking at Dublin Airport. Yet no Metro. We are becoming a 3rd World Country! It is awful.
@@IrishPartizan there's not even a rail link to dublin airport, only major airport that i know of without a rail link in europe
@@IrishPartizan In a rich country like Ireland the average working people live like they are poor, in a poor country like Belarus the average working people live like they are rich.
Beautiful country Partizan
Hello there hope everything is good stay lucky
where would you relocate if you need to leave belarus, except ireland ?
Great video 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
Move abroad, Sure. I moved to Poland in the 90s. Move to a dictatorship engaged in war. No chance, and I know Minsk is a nice city
"Move to a dictatorship engaged in war". You mean the kleptocratic regime based in DC?
@@IrishPartizan The term 'kleptocratic' term is used for Russia all over the world. Belarus, currently occupied by Kremlin state mafia, is a part of this system.
@@greycliffnative when the people of Belarus toss the dictator, they won't be to happy with foreign traitors
@@greycliffnative You might have not realised it yet, but the US and their friends are NOT "the" world.
Lovely area
What’s happened with the Belarus premier league? I see Bobruisk, Shakhtyor and Energetik-BGU had quite large points deductions.

@@Win-xl7no Cheers 😎👍🏼
Hey man, forgive my username my little brother change it as a joke. I really like your video and I have kind of a similar question that has been on my mind a lot I have been thinking of going on a hitchhiking trip in the USA and later overseas but I don’t like traveling alone and I’ve been trying to find a nice girlfriend to travel with. You say opportunities don’t come very often and so I’m just wondering if you could give me some advice.
I'm a Brit with residency permit in Lithuania. I'm not sure if this grants me free movement to Belarus i.e. for a few days. Tried looking it up but seems like a grey area!
No it doesn't
You need a tourist visa.
Every man, no matter his motherland, loves his dog. And real men in my opinion, must love Jesus Christ, be repented and forgiving at heart and humble, yet strong
I'm always getting upset thinking of my friends that moved from Belarus, Minsk to Poland and other countries in last 2-3 years, but your videos from Park Druzby Narodow are so motivating and positive, that i'm starting to think about moving somewhere else). And thank you for seeing beauty of Minsk city - it's pleasure to hear good words about my native city.
PS. BTW, i totally recommend you to exlore Slepyanka water system, especially near Mendeleyeva and Filimonova street. Me and my wife can be your guides, if you interested).
Thanks Oleg. I have already been there cycling on the tracks.
Most people want to live in a country which is free and has human rights, not a dictatorship...
@@stevemcgowen Most people want to live in a country that safe, isn't overrun by migrants, not governed by a toxic, leftist woke ideology, has two defined genders, doesn't force people to take an untested vaccine, doesn’t impose lockdowns on a whole society and is clean where public services actually work.
@@IrishPartizan OMG, your so BASED)
That is exactly how I am thinking about. Moved to Paraguay in December but Belarus would be neither bad. I even speak Russian at B1 level...
Hello Niel, can you remind name of this movie about war which you recommended last time😊Thanks
Brest Fortress.
@@IrishPartizan ❤
If people in Dublin are more friendly than people in Belarus, Dubliners must be the most friendly people in the world!
As a person whos been goind to belarus for 13 years by now, i can tell you that yes belarus is interesting...but in no way it is an opportunity for making more money and business. Unless you go there with already a big capital in hand.its a nice experience learing russian, new culture, meeting girls..., and thats it.Regarding starting a small business and growing, its very hard. Investing in real estate there is not bad, but again you got to have the capital in hand already.i might be wrong, but this is my own opinion.
Good luck.
What is you came with like 50k?
The competition is also quite low and if you are talented enterpreneur you might build a nice business by just outcompeting the locals. But otherwise the country is poor, yeah.
I admire and like hearing you. Dont try to copy the style bald, your films have more level.
Bald has his style, I have mine.
God bless you all on this Sunday. In Jesus name amen 🙏
video starts 2:40
I want to be young.... LG from Sunny and hot Germany
Hi mate can you help,,,,how much is 36,772,983.11 Belarusian rubles in GBP ? Many thanks George

I have long wanted to come stay in a rural Russian or Belarusian village
Just go! Stop the excuses.
Is there work for oil workers in Belarus 👍
Don't think so. You better work remote or work for a multinational with an interest in Belarus.
Belarus is a very nice place to live, but only if you have income from outside. Local salaries are really low.
Would you ever consider moving home to Waterford? The place is on the up, lots of jobs here now compared to when you left probably, I moved abroad for a few years and while I agree it changes you in a good way I got so homesick and fed up I had to come back. Best decision I ever made was to come home I think but everyone is different I suppose!
Maybe one day I will.
Can you still travel to Brest grodno area 15 day visa free?
Yes you can!
@@IrishPartizan can you still cross at polish border into that area?
@@Eric-zb6nx Yes you can but prepare to queue.
Nice Yugoslav Airforce shirt ;)
It's Partizan Belgrade.
Will you get a pension in Belarus?
Or do you invest somehow?
Yes. As any state pension in any country - it will be enough to survive, providing you have a place to live.
The best pension invest strategy is to have more children and grow them into good people who would support you in your old age and keep yourself healthy, rather then rely on the state.
They have a policy in Belarus of canceling foreign workers' visas after they reach their 60s. Again, Niall is in for a rude awakening...he better hope despite his pro dictatorship views that Belarus gets freedom, joins the EU and at least a minimal pension safety net and social system similar to Poland's and Czech Republic's, or he'll be a poor old man in Ireland again.
@@apjpisared Funny, because in BY you don't see people on pension rummage through trash which is still not an uncommon sight in Poland.
@@apjpisared May be they have, may be they have not. Can not imagine anyone in their 60s on working visas in Belarus, actually, but this is not the point. Seeing how pension age is being moved closer to 70 and beyond everywhere, including "democratic" states too, I do not have much hope there will be any decent state pension anywhere soon, regardless how "tyrannical" or not a state is. So The good big family is the only right purpose in life and a pension strategy for a young healthy man and woman now.
@@apjpisaredlol, please keep EU away as far away from us as you can, keep it to yourself 😁
Do you get thre same average salary of a Belarussian worker? Coz it seems full of people living abroad where they make 4-5-6...times more that the average person and they say: well life here is great
Great video, we would love to come to Minsk, to visit my sister in law, but virtually impossible, at the moment!!
You will need a tourist visa to do the land border crossing from Poland and Lithuania.
Why does this park have this name? And this Bangalor square adjasing...
Named after the city of Bangalore with which Minsk is a "brother" city - Soviet tradition.
@@MinskGuide There's Minsk square in Bangalore. It's agreed to do so during the visit of Indira Gandhi and Leonid Brezhnev to Minsk in 1976. They planted first trees into this park.
Intersting to hear you studied at the US universicity in Blagovgrad. I agree that moving abroad is worth it. Not so sure about belarus though... But that's me personally.
It doesn't have to be Belarus. It can be anywhere. There are over 200 countries and territories to choose from. Just pick the best place that you think would suit you.
Are there beautiful ladies? No ragrets! I tell single friends to move to Barcelona. Oh well!
Political stance on Belarus, Lukaschenko and the whole living next door to UE - RU war where Belarus is allied to RU?
That and what happens due to Lukaschenko's health issues?
@@davidjernigan7576 The same thing that happened every time Kim Jong Un was declared dead
You are correct Jim, I loathe the NATO war mongering imperialists. Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria and now Ukraine.
@@IrishPartizan So its safe to say you're pro Russia on this matter huh...?
@@IrishPartizan Do you support Russian imperialism and colonialism? Do you cooperate with them for money, any other benefits or because you just believe in it? If you cooperate with them, you can be prosecuted for supporting war criminals. Do not come back home. This is my advise. Stay with them or move to another, much safer place for you, like the Northern Korea.
each to their own...i could NEVER live and sustain a family in a poor place like belarus or east europe...the way i do in the UK...here i bought a house i have a nice car and basically EVERYthing i need....i am from east europe and i was hungry a lot of times back in my childhood...for ppl like you is ok teaching english to them and getting a good salary...but ask anyone on basic salary in belarus and they will say they would love to get away from that hellhole...
🤮
This is so incorrect...
I feel sorry for you, bro. But we all choose our own path.
Don't feel sorry for me. Feel sorry for yourself.
@@IrishPartizan That's right Niall!
@@IrishPartizan This is clearly a troll who sows negativity to lower others and elevate himself.
Lukashenko has followed your advice, he and his family have left the potato farm and flew to Turkey, last night.
No they haven't. LOL
Why haven't you joined Wagner yet?
Why haven't you joined Azov yet?
Well, we follow your life cause you evidently stopped doing trips around Belarus unconnected to your lifetime :)
I will get back to provincial trips in July. Work commitments.
@NostaIgia That too but I might not get enough time to do it all.
@@IrishPartizan A lot easier to sit on your hole and promote Russian propaganda than get the finger out and do actual worthwhile work for your channel, eh?
Moving abroad is good, but moving from Ireland to exUssr countries is just downshifting.
he must love Slavic women , Bulgarian, Belarussian, Russian... I love Irish women. Redhead women.
i will be in Belarus by end of August. Looking forward to visit my wife.
беларуську мову вже вивчив?
he doesn't know it exists
это не обязательно, в Беларуси хорошо понимают и русский, и украинский, и польский :)
Зачем? о_0
I saw Russian bloggers who said how nice and developt Ireland has become economicly and this Irish promoting moving to Belarus? What the hell
1) They don't live there.
2) If you paid attention to my video or previous ones (which I don't think you did), I stressed that young people should move if they have the opportunity to do so. It can be anywhere in the world. Pick a place that suits you best.
