Good to hear from you again Dojocho! No! not finished yet. As you know interior design very well I have been anxious to finish it and make a video to show you. We did get some curtains in three rooms and have most of the edging boards on the floors done (but not all). We need to get the thick curtains for the living room, but first have to find something in the right style, (not easy). Then we will need to get a bookcase/wall unit made. We could have done much of this already but it would have taken all our savings. We still have some of our last savings in Germany but have to go get it. We have to bring it back in the form of cash because of sanctions. We fear that some government will try to take it from us as we cross the border. It is CERTAIN that Poland will, but it is difficult to get to Belarus without going through Poland. Seems all buses go through at least some part of Poland. You cannot even take a soda across the border from Poland. I HEAR THEY TAKE EVERYTHING! We may have to pay big money to fly to some "stan" country, then to Minsk because we hear it is really expensive to go through Istanbul now. Someone came to visit us and they came from Paris then to Finland then to St Petersburg then to Minsk by bus. Time consuming and also expensive but still cheaper than Istanbul. UNBELIEVABLE!
@@dukeinbelarus999 go to turkey no problem getting your own money out from a bank in turkey. as long as you have a card, you can withdraw 1000 euro a day from an atm.. bank charge is 5euro. each time.. other wise open an account in turkey first then go to your own country & transfer the money to your own account in turkey. then in turkey no charge for withdrawl..from istanbul direct flight to belarus$295 or to russia.. otherwise if you are taking loads of heavy goods (furniture etc: )cross border from turkey to georgia then to azerbeycan then to russia.. no search gets done. many russians in eu, does it this way taking goods back.
@@dukeinbelarus999 window treatments are always difficult for broque or victorian styles....no one makes them that are quality. Here in the States is a sh(t hole. My father told me ( former CIA OSS) said they will use "chaos Theory" attack. which is what we have today. Create so many distractions at one time people cant get a hold on anything so they eventually get so confused they give up and pay no attention anymore...which seems to be happening. everything is ridiculously expensive. Home prices are the highest ever. Rental prices for 1 bedroom where I am in NY are about $1600month. Thats causing insurance companies to leave states that had regular natural disasters like FLA. I went to buy a rack of lamb to cook for my GF and I, 8 small pieces on the rack it was $70. Roads are full of potholes and the highway dept barely cuts the grass on the highways anymore. The smaller towns are so desperate for money they have multiple parking meter people on the same shift so they want tourists to come to the town but they nail them for the parking meter ...not only that they are now allowed to do traffic enforcement so if you do have money in the meter but expired registration on your parked car they will ticket that also. I saw police walking through a target shopping lot ticketing cars with expired tags....wtf? There is no one out that much anymore seeing lots of restaurants closing I have a friend owns a few ( high end) and he said he is hanging on but its rough...... Gas I paid $4.65 a gallon for my audi for premium. The US has become one giant Strip club... looks good but everywhere you turn they are trying to take your money. Wishing you the best my friend!
@@LightHouseChurchThailand Nott at all. Guess we don't use that software here because it took me many hours to even find out what the incident was all about

You can't believe what trouble I had to upload this. It took about 16 hours for UA-cam. But before that my App stopped working and it took me many hours to find a different way to edit and export the video. I had to experiment different ways and that took many hours.
showing everyday life , how much things cost, variety of items, show daily living & what the costs are, uniqueness of items etc: etc: .. in Belarus.. of course make it routine D
duke electric bikes & scooters would sell well there I think, or renting them, cause their footpaths are wide & plenty of greenspace.. also $500 a week would that be enough to live there, for a single person ?.. how much is rent ? is it weekly monthly ?. cost of electricty/ gas/water etc etc:
Glad you asked. They have electric bikes and scooters all over the place here! I guess they can be rented through an App. As far as the cost to live here. If you already own your apartment you can live just fine on 500.$ a month. I am not really sure what rent is here. I know that you can rent a new 45m2 apartment, unfurnished in Minskworld for around 100.$. I believe that includes some of the bills such as garbage and water. Not sure about electricity. In so many ways it is far better here than in the West or Global South. clean, safe. Government is responsible. So much better. If you are a single young guy there are so many incredibly beautiful women here! Stay away from "gold-digger" areas and you can easily find a dream woman as many men have! Yes! If you work on the economy wages can be very low but most costs are also low. To live on 500.$ a month and be paying rent is certainly possible! Winters seem too long, but it makes May-October that much better. (I think of there being only two seasons, cold and warm).
@@AsYm-PtOtiC Thanks. The main problem for me is ...time. Filming is no problem. Editing can be a pain, but "exporting" into a finished video takes the computer a long time, and for some reason it takes UA-cam a very long time. It took this 34 min video about 15 hours to download onto UA-cam.
Привет. Две мои старшие дочки после окончания университета остались жить в Минске. Они вдвоём снимают двухкомнатную квартиру с мебелью, стиральной машиной, микроволновкой, кондиционером, холодильником за 230 долларов в месяц. У меня в Бресте своя квартира 84 квадратных метра. За коммунальные в этом месяце я заплатила 36 долларов (это с учётом холодной и горячей воды). Плюс электричество 15 долларов и интернет 15 долларов, газ 3 доллара в месяц. А если учесть,что медицина и образование бесплатное, то за 500 долларов можно нормально прожить. Это если своя квартира. Но если снимать квартиру, то 500 для жизни маловато будет. А для иностранного гражданина медицина платная. Это конечно небольшие деньги по сравнению с США, но тоже надо учитывать. Например, сделать УЗИ платно 10- 20 долларов. Приём платного врача примерно столько же.
Pozdrawiam braci Bialorusinow i prezydenta Lukaszenke ❤
Very cheap compared to when I when I was last in England

Вам 500 долларов хватит на месяц))) если без жилья. приличное жилье можно снять за 250-300 долларов в месяц
