I wanted to visit Gomel (I am there right now!), Minsk, Vitebsk and some of the nature reserves that Belarus has set up.

I also think Belarus might be a good place to take a course in Russian. Nice, safe environment, good value for money and Russian is the main language. So I am trying to find a suitable place for a course.

Dmitry, if you are in Belarus; perhaps you could recommend some nice places to visit?
I only know about what's in the guide book. I am particularly interested in history, ecological initiatives and things like folk art tradition and culture.

More on my experiences of Belarus later, but so far, big thumbs up. Gomel is very nice.
And my word, what a border check for entering Belarus!
