nadyaAs in, on the Teen Wolf bandwagon, since almost everyone on my reading page and people from different fandoms started watching it and loving it, I thought I'd give it a chance. So I just watched the first episode and I really like it, waiting for the second one to download.
So, the trip. I left on Monday morning and stayed in Minsk with my brother for 6 days. The first 2 days he was showing me the city, which let me tell you is really beautiful and really big. The architecture is really stunning, it's all just amazing. And most of the buildings in the centre of Minks were build in soviet times and the government didn't change or destruct them after the soviet union fell apart - so there's history in these building, telling stories.
And my brother is kind of a history nerd, so he told me lots of interesting facts about the city. I love the fact that it's a growing city, everywhere I looked, I could see new houses or offices being built.
On the 3rd and 4th day of my trip, me and my brother went to Vitebsk, a city in Belarus 260km away from Minsk. Took a train there to meet up with our cousins and nephews and nieces and our uncle (our father's brother). It was really great meeting them, since I've never got the chance since my brother was like 10 years old when he last saw them and I wasn't even born then.
On Friday we visited museum of old folk crafts and technologies "Dudutki" - it's an ethnological museum, like a walk into the past. It was a really fun day!
And we finished off the tour of Minsk on Saturday, when my brother showed me the new sports arena and the path of fame of Belarus Olympic Champions.
And we saw the new Spider-Man movie and it was AMAZING, just like I expected!
It was an amazing trip and an amazing way to spend my free time and to rest from work. And this Tuesday I have to get back to work, which I don't really want to, but money doesn't just appear in our bank accounts, unfortunately.
