When it comes to Belarus, many people immediately think of beautiful women with fair skin and curvy figures. However, beautiful women do not represent the entire Belarus. In addition, there are beautiful scenery, food, diplomacy, history and culture, etc.

1. Although there is only one word difference between "Belarus" and "Russia", they are two different countries. However, from the literal meaning, the two countries are inextricably linked.

The ancestors of the two countries "Belarus" and "Russia" have the same origin. They are both descendants of the East Slavs. They did belong to the same country originally, but they later separated, leading to the current situation.

2. Belarus is a landlocked country, bordering Ukraine and Russia to the north and south, and Poland and Lithuania to the west. The total territory is not small, ranking 13th in Europe.

3. The flag of Belarus is quite distinctive, especially the red and white patterned vertical stripes on the left, which is very similar to the sweater style my mother knitted for me when I was a child. The right side is a red and blue rectangle with a wide top and narrow bottom.

4. Due to the difference in dimensions, in Belarus in the summer, it doesn’t get dark until 11 o’clock in the evening, and it gets light at 4 o’clock in the morning.

Friends who are used to sleeping in will definitely not be used to it if they go there. After staying up late for a while, it will be dawn. Isn’t this feeling a bit strange?

Winter is relatively normal, with sunrise at 9 a.m. and sunset at 4 p.m.

Note: Belarus is 5 hours behind my country.

5. Belarus is a landlocked country with flat terrain and convenient transportation. This is also due to its original strong foundation. During the Soviet period, it was mainly agriculture and heavy industry, and it was considered one of the richest regions at the time.

Belarus’ agriculture is mainly based on animal husbandry and planting. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, domestic industry has also been retained. It has the most famous and largest truck production technology in the world. In addition, machinery, metallurgy, IT industry, and electronic technology are all

very nice.

6. Belarus is a country that pursues a "slow life", going to work on time and getting off work on time, but not working overtime. Work is work, and leisure is leisure. The distinction is very clear.

Merchants will not open until 9:30 in the morning, and most stores will close before 5 p.m., except of course some lifestyle supermarkets.

This slow-paced life allows Belarusians to spend more time and energy on "family and friendship." Family gatherings and small dinners among friends are common.

This kind of life should be the happy life that most people want, right?

7. Belarusian men like to drink, while women like tobacco.

Originally, I only knew that Russians love to drink, but I didn’t expect that Belarusians also love to drink. The cold weather is only one of the reasons, but now the situation has improved.

It is said that a previous survey showed that 2% of Belarusians have been diagnosed with alcohol overdose.

In order to change this irregular life pattern, Belarus raised the drinking age from 18 to 21 years old, and restricted drinking within a specific period of time.

But that doesn't stop Belarusians from being addicted to alcohol. When they tap their necks, it means it's time to drink.

8. Russians love to eat instant noodles. Sprinkle a piece of dough with seasoning sauce, soak it in a bowl of boiling water, add a few sausages, and in a few minutes, the fragrant noodle soup will be out of the oven.

But they only eat noodles and don't drink soup. After eating the noodles, they throw away the soup. Their favorite staple food is black bread.

9. Don’t think that Belarus only eats bread and chips. In fact, Belarus also eats rice. They add some salt when cooking rice, so that the cooked rice will be moist.

10. Walking on the streets of Belarus, many people will feel that this is a country with “more women than men”, but this is not the case.

The ratio of men to women in Belarus is relatively balanced. The reason why this phenomenon can be seen is because men in Belarus must serve in the military. When some men serve in the army, it will give tourists the illusion that there are more women than men in the country.

11. Speaking of beauties, Belarus also has a special policy. They believe that "beauties" are an extremely important strategic resource. Since 2005, Belarus has strictly controlled the outflow of beauties, especially those beautiful models. They have to go through many layers of procedures to go abroad.

Approval.

If you go abroad privately, you will be punished accordingly. Of course, if you are punished, you will be rewarded. All domestic advertising spokespersons will be domestic models, and models from other countries will be rejected.

In addition, models who win awards in major competitions will also enjoy many generous benefits, and the bonuses will naturally be large.

12. Although Belarus is a landlocked country, it has more than 10,000 lakes, large and small, so it is also known as the "Land of Ten Thousand Lakes".

13. Belarus is a diversified country in the world, and so is its cuisine, which is a fusion of cuisines from Russia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Poland and other European countries.
