Welcome to Belarus! I hope you enjoy our first time here!
Welcome to Belarus! I hope you enjoy our first time here!
In what seemed a tight contest, Nanda got a bump in the final votes to run away with last month's competition. Our first visit to Belarus is courtesy of this excellence:
We arrive in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, a city that has been around in some form for hundreds of years. It's only been a national capital for the last three decades though because Russian had annexed it two hundred years before that. The city has been booming in the last couple decades and just opened a third line on their metro last year.
It will be a bit chilly here as we dip into a Belarussian autumn, so you might want to dip into the KFC to get some fried chicken. I normally wouldn't recommend a fast food place, but it's got an epic sculpted relief from 60s ever Soviet Russia. Actually, a lot of tourist things I'm looking up are about Minsk's Soviet era, so I think I'll bypass that and look at food. If fried chicken isn't your thing, you could try some kletski, which sounds similar to perogies as they are big flour balls filled with meat.
