My diary - 37 Minsk is not tourist city. Alhough lately country's leadership takes a steps for attraction foreigners (for example 5-day visa-free regime), all the same at the moment it can be rarely to listen foreign speech on the Minsk's streets. Honestly, I am pleased with this. When I was in Amsterdam or Paris in city center I have seen only tourists. A lot of tourists. And almost none of the local. This is very understandably. Nobody want to hustle with crowds of people. It is much better calmly to move on non-touristic places.
