Because Belarus never sold off their industrial base, I really enjoy watching your videos on factories, farms, and the economy of Belarus.

[@julioguzman4891]

I really enjoy this kind of videos. Good job!

[@alienpilled]

Hoping for some Dzyarzhinsk! I hate to hear the channel is winding down. Your videos are a lot of fun 🍻

[@Deathwing2001]

Good to see you and a new video from you. I’ll look forward to the new provincial travel videos. Those sweets looked great and I always appreciate a visit to the Wall of Hotties there 😁

[@anmato11]

Thank you so much for your very respectful and encouraging stories. I would love to see number 15 to 17 redarmy street in Loyew (outside of Gomel). I have family history there.

[@evanmcdonald8057]

I work in Irish rail (CIE) on the trains tracks. Didn’t expect to hear you speak about the railway in Ireland 😅 you caught me off guard. Also really liked seen the biscuit factory 🏭. Great video

[@jorllx]

sell everything and leave the working class life that you have there, where with even 3,000 euros / month you live worse than Belarussians who earn 600 euros / month, without even seeing the sun for half a year, and move to a former soviet union (you can choose; sunny Georgia or Black sea Russia, colder and darker but safer and ultrapolite Belarus or Saint Petersburg), where with 200.000 eur you will live better than you have ever lived in your life, surrounded by beautiful girls and without even have to work next 20 years. Even an engineer with a good salary living in a nice house in one of the nicest parts of Europe like me is seriously thinking about doing it.

[@apiklala]

Wait , Ireland has trains also ?? 😂😂

[@evanmcdonald8057]

😂 I think most country’s have trains

[@exploring_things_my_way]

Hi Niall. On your next provincial trip, can you visit Asipovichy? It's my favourite place to visit in Belarus but due to the sanctions getting there is very expensive.

[@IrishPartizan]

I was there about two years on my way to Slutsk and tbh, It was meh!

@@IrishPartizan Did you explore the town and surrounding areas much? I think I have an attachment to it as I was only 17 years old when I first visited

Is it an old factory? Also is everything in the shop produced in the factory?

Slodych can trace their roots back to the early 20th century. They have been at their current site since the late 80s.

@@IrishPartizan always in Belarus?

I’m going to visit Minsk but I don’t want to fly via turkey. I think I’ll wait for their western border to open. Unless I go to turkey for a holiday then I’d fly.

[@jorllx]

what is your job, if not a secret? I am seriously thinking about the possibility of moving to Russia or Belarus in the future, and it is interesting to know practical things like this. I work online, so I would not need a job there. I am planning to start learning Russian this autumn. A few years married to my Russian ex wife and some Rus and Ukr girls I dated, but I did't have much time to study Russian, and not much interest frankly. 8 - 15 years ago many Rus and Ukr girls were interested in moving to Western Europe and Russia and Belarus was worse than Western Europe. Now those times are over...the situation has completely reversed. I see absolutely nothing even in the considered nicest countries in Europe (Italy, France, Spain) better than in Sochi area for example... absolutely everything is worse.

[@_b_x_b_1063]

Bad idea, war :( Slavic kill slavic

[@Ultra-Violet]

Don't be ridiculous, russia is in self destruct mode and there is no stopping it, there are so many western wingers on KZbin channel saying how great russia is and how they want to go there! You have NO idea what you're talking about, it's actually pathetic 🤷

[@anthonydowling3356]

He is an English teacher .If you can work from anywhere why not go somewhere hot all year .

[@jorllx]

@@anthonydowling3356 Sochi area is the black sea area of Russia, weather and nature exactly as in the south of France, that is in my opinion the most attractive place of all former soviet countries, and where I would like to spend some long periods of the year, working online. Winter in places like Saint Petersburg or Belarus would be hard for me being from Spain, but I like that Belarus seems even safer and people more polite than Russia, and easier to get residence permit, so it's a great option in spring-summer. And the main reason why I would live in such countries, and I suppose the reason of 90 % of Western men who live there, is because of women. My ex-wife is Russian :). I also like their ideology and cheap prices, if you can live there with a Western job / salary.

[@anthonydowling3356]

@@jorllx A lot of Eastern European women marry for money and a Western passport .Was that the case with your ex-wife ? Are you going to repeat that mistake ? .Never heard of Sochi .I must look it up .I prefer Asian women myself ,but they also are looking for somebody to take care .They are not looking for love ,in a lot of cases .

@@IrishPartizan Even with morons like Trump gaining power in the US it’s still more democratic than Belarus. How long has the dictator Lukashenko been in power? I’m not trying to troll here genuinely curious.

Is there any news on Raman Pratasevich , The journalist who was on the Ryanair flight that was forced to land in Belarus May 2021?? kept in prison until May this year when he was sentenced to eight years because he didn't believe that having a president in power for 29 years is a good thing, But in belarus they bake cheap biscuits, so that's absolutely fabulous

[@Svetlana-says-it-as-it-is.]

If you think that way then I guess all countries openly repress democracy some people can live well with it and focus on other things.

[@omaoilcheireciaran4524]

@@Svetlana-says-it-as-it-is. yeah that is true but the extent of the repression varies massively between say Belarus and Ireland. If you cant acknowledge that we may end this conversation.

[@Vega1447]

Sad that you are an apologist for a brutal dictatorship. Lukashenko is Europe's last dictator. Does that bother you? Apparently not. And Lukashenko's facilitating Putin's criminal invasion of Ukraine makes Belarus complicit in that war. And you too unless you disassociate yourself from it. But that might be.... inconvenient.
