Been to Mogilev (Belarus) toad,
quite close to Vitebsk and while I wouldn't presume to class everywhere the same toad,my visit to Belarus was one I would rather forget.
I think out of all the countries of the FSU,life is quite hard here and it shows in just about everything.
There are lots of comments about grim faces in Russia and Ukraine etc on the street,that changes when you get inside.Well Belarus takes this one stage further,the depressing mood seesm to creep into life at almost every level.
It is not a particularly tourist friendly place,and that impression begins the moment you step from the plane into Minsk airport.
Little short of time now,so apologies for the shortness of the reply.....will add to this later after work.
Hey Toad, I asked about Vitebsk many times here and no replies. I started out writing to 3 girls there.(different agency). I do know of a marriage agency there who's website I can send you. Plenty of pictures and info about the city. They also rent out apartments on the site. One question.......... What happened to your beloved "Miss Siberia" ??????????
you DID intend to put that 'f' in did you?
I was wondering too when I saw this thread - but then Belarus is known to have more water than Siberia, especially in the cold season, and this is of course why a Toad would likely thrive better there? :)
Thank you Glad...email directly me if you have some more info on vitebsk.
You too, Dale. I'd like to see that link to the agency.
Guys, don't get all worked up if I keep correspondence with more than one woman. There are actually six (6) of them on the running. But only two that I would very much like to meet in person, so far....
I may spend New year's in Prague before jumping to Siberia or Belarus.
Like the good toad that I am, I hop, lol...
