Posts: 1699BTW the girl freebie I met last Monday here in Kiev went to Minsk 2 weeks ago, she told that prices of food and normal stuff are now twice than in Kiev and that people is trying to not think seriously to all this, they hope it will finish soon, but she told on longer time it can take even a bigger financial crisi overthere.
Maybe it is time they will kick off the "president"

Everything happened within last two weeks. Have no idea what will happen in the future but I am sure Belarus won't be as expensive as it was just a two month ago.

Few hookers in the Bar upstairs next to the Strip Bar.
I was quoted US$100 for one hour. I think you need to pay another US$20 to the security guy.
Didn't try the P4P there. Pulled 2 stunners from Westworld Club. They were students.
Had a great time there.
Strip bars are a good deal.
Plenty of choice in Westworld Club, due its sheer size.
Few strip clubs in the same complex. You are allowed to touch as well.
Other hookers are in hotel Jubleney in the bar cafeteria upstairs.
This hotel is on the main street just down from Planeta hotel.
There I was quoted $70 for ST.

Posts: 720Belarus exchange rate
Just arrived in Minsk today. According to friends and listening to radio in taxi the exchange rate at commercial banks is 4000 per dollar, and have been told it's not possible to sell dollars for over 4000 at the moment, which is confirmed by this Bloomberg article: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-0...banks-say.html

All fine here, and how are you? Any new adventures on the agenda?
Of course questions are raised, taken the democratic movements in some arab countries into consideration and how that will affect Belarus. So far nothing has happened after the crackdown during last election. But sanctions are hurting Belarus and now there is a huge currency crisis. The exchange rates has been rather stabile for the last few years.
According to new information the "real" banks withhold the official currency rate at around 3000 Rouble / 1 USD. Since there are no hard currency to get in banks, a black marked has started. In the black market in the streets you will get 5500-6000 for a USD. Probaly one would not want to be caught by police exchanging black though. Who knows how long that will last or if the crisis will deepen.
Yes Belarus is rather expensive, but now there could be an option at least to get many Roubles for everyday expenses like resuarants, night clubs etc. Of course prices are rising for imported items. Still you have to pay for apartments in hard currency and that goes for the sponsor girls or P4P. However that wont hurt me as I go for normal girls, unless I get a stunner to sponsor. The best thing is that girls are more keen to open up when the hard times prevail. It is my opinion. I go to Minsk 27 of May and will see how it is. Better bring along a lot of USD cash.
Cheers and happy hunting.

Posts: 131New comer in Minsk
Hi everyone,
I am due to go to Minsk in May for the first time. I will stay at hotel Planeta which seems to be nice for mongering. I need some basic information about local habits, such as average price for ST and any other tips.
Can somebody give me hand?
Sam

Thanks for this post of great added-value. I also checked the exchange rates today and the € is about 4 500, which seems great. Don't know the ruble/€ conversion historic though, you remember how as it say two years ago? And you know what is currently the black market rate for the €?
Belarus has always be described as a rather "expensive" country (well, compared to Ukraine). The rouble depreciation surely set up a new deal (cheaper running costs and "dating expenses"). What's your thoughts about it?
Cheers

I do not know what todays rate is. The main thing is to be aware of the currency problems.

Nice summary. I've been to Belarus a couple times and know Minsk well. What's up with the 6, 000 roubles to 1 dollar rate? I noticed a spike as high as 3, 070 to 1, but it's been hovering around 3, 000 for the past couple years. I haven't seen 6, 000 and all exchange rate sites don't point to this either.
