Any chance of doing a dating in Belarus video compared to say the West and the differences? Cheers
@@muskrat477 Conor Clyne from Tsar Experience covers this aspect on this channel here - ua-cam.com/users/TheLanguageTsar
@@IrishPartizan cheers!
Really , thank u very much for this video
You mentioned cash but can you talk more about the percentage of shops or restaurants that accepts Visa or MasterCard?
When l come home from Belarus and people ask me how is was there , -it was very easy to answer them---it was just like in Sweden in the good old 1960' this.
damn, what i can answer to this question if i live in Belarus
i love to go there knew nothing about belarus till i start watching yourself .
i love the thoughts of four weeks there nice easy going and lots of history whick i love about it .
I visit Belarus regularly and since 2019 there is an online self registration system that simplified the process, especially if you are not using a hotel. Don’t forget to buy local health insurance at Minsk airport. It’s very cheap but convenient to buy at the airport. Great country with great people.
would you mind dropping a link to the online self registration system ?
@@Checkmate025 platform.gov.by/en_US/home.html - English version is bugged though, could be fixed by now.
We can’t enjoy this country without you 😀
After finding yourself and mr bands channels I’m really buzzing to one day visit this country.
thanks for the tips... i will be visiting hopefully this year but next year at the latest
Hi ;-) New Subscriber, John, living in Poland, next door. Love your videos, different to the ones Bald & Bankrupt does. Hope you can get up to a million subs ;-) Good luck man, hope you are well.
Thank you for sharing these videos, I'm moving to Belarus this year and your channel has been helpful ✨ спасибо ☺️
Пожалуйста A3MY. Надеюсь увидеть вас!
Where are you moving from? That's amazing! How's everything going?
Hi, love your videos.
You must register WITHIN 5 working days and not after 5 days.
I would add that Uber and Yandex Taxi are cheap.
That's what I said. You have 5 working days to register.
You can also buy a sim in the airport. Very cheap and unlimited internet. Also when you land you need to buy insurance. You buy at the airport and it’s cheap like €1 per day
That's right. The same mobile operators are at the airport.
@@IrishPartizan Btw i not really recommend buying life:) sim card if you are planning hicking through Belarus. It has poor coverage outside of cities and big towns.Otherwise other operators have like 94%+ coverage of our territory.And mobiles often used as recovery beacons if people get lost in woods or swamps.
Is that health insurance?
Irish has
Very helpful I am coming in a few days if they Don t cancel planes again thank you
Straight to the point! Very informative, thank you!
Hi, mate, love the channel and the videos, found you with mr Bald and I'm enjoying how you guys do it, keep it up!
Enjoying the uploads...do you think you will stay in Belarus for the rest of your life?
Who knows?
top tips very helpful good insight to no stress living
Big up from MoroccanGuy 💛💚❤️🇲🇦💐
Excellent and informative blog (as usual)
Very nice mate. Very informative. I'd love to check Belarus out. Greetings from sunny Oz.
Looks like you do homework for your video and they are very good and informative, would be more interesting if we get some random side and interaction with locals and showing us around too
Just found your videos! A lot to catch up on! Great videos.
It's a shame there's no direct flights from Dublin. Would've loved to made a weekend trip over there - instead of the usual Krakow etc
we expect wizzair and ryanair routes to belarus soon.
Belavia did provide a service from shannon but was taken out about 10years ago a real pity
Thankfully no.
Aeroflot as well during the Soviet days.
Great information, thank you
I wish was much younger, I would move there in a heartbeat. The opportunity to do so didn’t exist in my youth.
What decade are we talking about?
The average pension in Belarus is $200/month.
@@naivmediabeliever3553 Rent for a 1 BR apartment outside of Minsk is $45 a month. So even though the party is low, the cost of real estate and living expenses is much cheaper. 2 bedroom apartments in the US on average can cost $1,000 - $1600
I'm definitely sold me and my wife will be heading there
Hi there I really enjoy your videos on Belarus. I have some questions for you and I would love some answers if you can give them to me. It is on a personal note so I don't know how to ask you or where to ask questions. Please inform me on how we can talk more personally
Is it hard for an American citizen to get a visa to Belarus? I am very interested in visiting Minsk. Hope to have a beer with you mate.
Very easy - No visa required for US Passport holders, 30 days and you get the whole country
Thanks for the well put information. One question, where is Alina?
New subscriber. Nice one 💚
I wouldn't pay more than 15 Euros for the transfer from the Minsk airport to the city center. 25 USD is too much. Keep it up!
Thanks for the tips bro but you left out the main piece of advice, where do the beautiful Belarusian ladies hang out and what pickup line is best?😊
I'd have thought the No 1 question should be "how many people speak English?". First thing I'd want to know - the rest are obvious and easily researched.
Actually ,in all ex-USSR states( without Baltic states,because these regions in the EU now and got strong skills in English) but others countries has got pretty weak English speaking standards and only a few man can be able to speak fluently. In Russia ana in Ukraine often situations when airports or railway station workers 0 at English. You can't live without Russian comfortably and with joy. That's absolutely truth, trust me. So....
regarding transport - Yandex.Transport is quite useful app that tracks public transport in real-time mode and helps with route planning.
@Irish Partizan have you tried it?
I haven't but plan to do so in future.
did i hear you right? $25 for a taxi from airport to hotel ? that seems a bit steep lol
I rolled my eyes too.. pricey
Helooo from USA ,I always think to move from hear , thanks for information , hows health cere in Belarus , and also USA citizens can by apartment or house in Belarus and give my some idea and price ,and can I find a job ? Thanks a lot
Foreigners buy apartments and houses all right, including Americans and Canadians.
You mention entering or exiting through the airport in Minsk. Please provide an addendum to the registration if you enter or leave by a land route such as a train or car.
Registration applies anyway, if I got the question right.
Hey Irish Man, nice video!
I have a few questions if you dont mind.
- I am Brazilian Citizen(living in Portugal) and I dont need a Visa to travel to Russia, How can I know if that will be the same in Belarus?
- Can you get around speaking only English?
- Do you need cash to pay for everything, they dont take credit or debit cards?
- Can I stay there more than 30 days as a tourist?
Best regards,
Tourists from the USA survive with English, it's not impossible to learn "hi, thanks, bye" in Russian.
Cards not from BY now work 70 per cent.
More than 30 days is a non-tourist visa.
Are you not being monitored by the local secret services there ? That would really scare me. And what do the people there really think about the Lukaschenko- Regime ? You always tell everybody, how great everything is there,when it's not Winter and dank and cold outside. But how do the people feel there, when they have constantly think about, what they speak out loud ?
Maybe a dumb question but will your bank work? I'm from Ireland? And do many places take card or is it largely cash?
Your bank card will work in every country...I ve been in Georgia and i. Eastern Europe and it worked fine.
i wanted to travel by train from poland to minsk so i take it this is not possible i have a uk passport is this the same. i am going to try and go round the world on trains.
Are you required to keep all your registration cards for different hotel stays?
Hi there , can you advise how to get to Minsk from Dublin , direct flights don’t exist so how do you get there from Ireland
Cor I am halfway sold already, fairly fed up with the land of my birth being England, half Irish, half Scots and England has become in recent years a right sh*tehold imho, trouble is what would I do over there? My first barrier of my 2 year old child level of Russian might be an issue and whilst I possess many skills ranging from computers to mechanics, nursing to office work I have too many skills as I learn something new each day. I am a very broad speaking South Londoner but I feel my time here in the UK has worn out its welcome and I need pastures new. If I had the money I would just move into the exclusion zone, build my own hovel and eke my last years out with my cats and Russian watches hehe
Trying to work out the accent, thinking not Cork, more a Tipperary, Waterfordish? Could be Wexford, oh I had a girlfriend from Wexford, her dad owned a load of pubs and super respected bloke, his daughter was a true clear skinned Coleen of beauty and bright intellect as we shared our love of certain works of art.

Watson, next time you're in Baker Street, give my regards to Sherlock.
Any updates on the information given here ?
The only person that can make it appear sunny in Belarus despite it being a dreary dump. Well done.
can you buy a house in Belarus ??
In your opinion Sir, in this modern world of technology what’s the best way to learn the Russian/Belorussian language? Thanks very much.
Duolingo is good. Also try Rosetta Stone.
Irish Partizan Thsts brilliant thank you very much. Would that be online say in a app or in text book form or in both.
I’ve seen Mr Bald say to completely avoid Russian grammar and stay on vocabulary.
I think Mr Bald must have learned the grammar basics at some time as it is hard to understand Russian if you don't know a reasonable amount of grammar, there are some strange sentence structures from the point of view of an English speaker.
You seem to be always on your own,
Why ?.
Как же он охуенно поворачивает камеру перед речью 😄👍
yandex taxi from airport to minsk, cost me 12 euro
Hi, is Belarus safe for Black/Asian people ? Site seeing etc Bars clubs etc
As byelorussian, i could say that Belarus is safe for people of all nationalities, and we have a lot of students from Iran, Lebanon, Syria, China, Jordan. A lot of people from Turkey in Minsk. Also there is a lot of vietnamese people living there since 90's - they have shops and cafe's in local market Zhadovichi. Here is article about Black people who live in Belarus (you can tranlaste in via google).

Medical insurance ? and is taking pictures ok ? I plan to visit in May.
Some people have reported medical insurance not being checked at the border but I would get it for piece of mind.
@@IrishPartizanIs Our currency is the £ so will they accept our currency or do I need to exchange to euros before I travel ? Thanks.
Some places do, others don't. It depends on the bank. That said, most banks will accept £stg. Just look at the currency exchange board. That will tell you.
Uber is 40 Rubles! The Uber app doesn’t work you need to download Uber.by app
Heads up for uber.by
I have not paid more than 30 ruble with Yandex
How is the situation with language?
russian language .. a little English in restaraunts
How is the bar/pub seen in Belarus?
Quiet.
@@IrishPartizan how do the Belarus people feel about Americans? I would love to check out Minsk and some other cities in Belarus.
*Scene
What about using ATMs?
No problems at all.
He puts things correct, but when he pronounces the country's name in adjective, it sounds like something Russian which is totally incorrect.
It’s not “incorrect” I’m part Belorussian or Belarusian depending on who you are talking to. No they don’t mean the same thing (White Russia vs White Rus’), but both refer to the same place and people.
How much English is spoken in Belarus?
30% maybe
20%
25 dollars from airport ??? 10-15 more than enough! :)
On this video he is in Belarus or in Ireland?
Belarus obviously.
You gotta be kidding me
Good video but need pen and paper 😀 think I will stick to Kiev lot easier 👍
You live nearly 5 years in Belarus, but you don’t know a language 😢
never call them russians just like you should never call us irish ,, british lol
Yeah yeah, of course 😂
Totally different, as Russians and Belorussians are brothers while the Irish and English have totally different origins. Really all of the people in the isles are different from the English, mainly being Gaelic or Celtic while the English are mostly Germanic.
Thats the ivory coast flag mate subbed anyway
