Can you believe that there are people in the world who have never tried Indian food?. Well I know two of them and so invited two of my Russian friends to try Indian food for the first time.
Wanting to escape Minsk for a bit I took a short trip to a provincial town in Belarus called Bobruisk in search of some of the nation's Soviet past. It didn't take long to find it.
This is part two of my journey to a provincial city in Belarus. In it we have Lenin statues, vodka and a strange pink sausage made of...Well I have no idea. Join me once again on my trip to Bobruisk.
Belarusian cuisine may not be famous but it certainly is good. I was invited by Dua Lipa to try some traditional recipes that fortunately did not include belly buttons. Join me as we try solyanka, vodka, kvass, draniki and perogi.
I wanted to take you on a journey with me in this episode to a village in rural Belarus. So I headed to Gomel and from there took an early morning bus out into the windswept provinces to see what life is like in a Belarus village.
I finally made it to the virtually deserted village of Horoshevka where only a few residents remained and was told that I had taken quite a risk in getting there.
Always wanted to travel to Europe but can't afford it? Well I've discovered a place everyone can afford. Whilst travelling through the provinces of Belarus I stumbled upon a hotel that wouldn't break anyone's budget.

Well that is the end of my trip to Belarus ( going back there after one month ), new adventures await in a brand new country next week - Here is a compilation of clips that didn't make the final videos.
