Dunno much about it but It appears it was in the direct fall out zone of the Chernobyl disaster. I'm in :)
It's private... :oops:Quote:

Guess what? About 1 in 2553566363 actually finds a legit partner, and the others find someone who rips them off. You may find yourself drugged, you may find yourself confronted with a really big guy named Sergei who will rip your head off -- either way you'll end up with an empty wallet.Quote:

Do it anyway! Don't listen to these pessimists!
1 to 2553566363 is good odds! Hey Barmaley, I put 1 buck on that it will be a legit partner. If I win you pay me 2553566363 bucks right? :lol:
Bah. That only works in Vegas. In this case I'd only pay 356899:1 -- I can't afford that kind of money!Quote:

I hope you took the trip. I had a great time in Minsk, Belarus last year.Quote:
