I was in Belarus for 16 days and I will try to post a report later.
It was mentioned that registration must be done within 3 days but it is actually 5 days.
Also I found a bank where you can get USD cash if you have a foreign account with hard currency. It is Prior bank. The one I went to was here:

It is a good relief for those who needs more hard currency and did not bring enough. There is no guarantee however they will have USD cash. There is a ATM outside where you can get USD cash. If there are no USD in the ATM go inside the bank and make your withdrawal. Bring your passport! The official exchange rate is now around 5070 to the Belarus rouble. The last black exchange rate I got was 7250 for the USD. There is a quite official rumour the Blr Rouble will default in September to around 7000 to end the black market. Who knows what will happen? Russia has demanded conditions for their loan. Belarus has to build a new Nuclear power plant delivering 80% of the energy to Russia and leaving only 20% to be used in Belarus. Again, who knows what will happen. So, the currency crisis continues. It is true what some wrote that visiting Belarus in August will be hard because many girls leave on holiday, abroad or to relatives in Belarus. That also caused me some problems because some girls were just gone. However I had to adjust to my vacation period.
In the meanwhile, a photo of the exmodel I shagged in June.
Cheers and happy hunting!
