Currently Visiting Minsk.
Hi,
I'm currently visiting Minsk for the first time, looking to meet up with any members for a drink, to discuss the local scene.
I'm staying with local "girlfriend" just outside the center of Minsk. (she is cool with my mongering and is even willing to help translate).
I'm Canadian with a lot of interesting experiences world wide and would be happy to share my stories.
Cheers,
BigChocolate
Heads up on Diplomatic war
Just wanted to give a heads up that a diplomatic war between Sweden and Belarus has escallated into that Belarus will close down its embassy in Stockholm Sweden, and Sweden will close its Embassy in Minsk.
Both at end of August as it seems now. Likely EU will take action and the conflict might deepen. More embassies might be affected. It started after Belarus kicked out the Swedish embassador, and Sweden responded with refusing the new Belarussian embassador to work in Sweden, and also kicking out two other embassy staff. Next step Belarus withdraw the rights of the Swedish embassy in Minsk and expelled the staff and told them to pack and go home by end of August.
Its also probably connected to the teddy bear fiasco for the Belarus Government and Batka aka Lukasjenka.
So, it will be trickier for us Scandinavians in the future to get visas and stuff. Shite! And who knows where this leads.
Cheers and happy hunting gentlemen!
