    I would like to point out that you don't have to be in the EU to visit Belarus visa-free. I don't know what it was when this video was made but when you said "If you're in the EU you can visit visa-free" (something along those lines) It's not just the EU it's also other countries. Kinda panicked when you said EU as the UK isn't in the EU anymore despite me being Scottish and people in this region wanting to remain in the EU, there is a list on the official website of Belarus detailing which countries can enter Belarus visa-free.

    Hi Niall, just after finding out about your channel via bald and bankrupt's latest video. I was super-intrigued about the life of an Irish person working in post-Soviet countries.
    Here's the mad thing: I'm from Kilkenny and was studying in Limerick and like you I attended AUBG in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria on Erasmus! What are the chances?
    I found that living in Bulgaria led to me wanting to explore Slavic countries more, especially now that I've graduated, as I really enjoyed the way of life there.
    After watching your videos now alongside Bald's, Belarus is definitely on the list. I'll take seeing this video and the coincidences in crossed paths as a sign!

    So I’m from Kildare and I quite like Germany. I went to see Germany vs Belarus in a Euro 2020 qualifier in Mönchengladbach last December.
    Didn’t know much about Belarus before I decided to go to that match. Watched some documentaries and did some research about the place in general.
    One of the videos I watched was from Vice and it was basically talking about how Belarus is more or less a dictatorship of sorts and very authoritarian..?
    Found that quite interesting and it’s really fascinating to hear about an Irish person living there.
    I know Vice aren’t really going to show the good parts/every day living, but I’m quite pleasantly surprised about how much you enjoy living there.
    Would love to do a little trip around Eastern Europe some day. They seem like lovely countries and lovely people. The main thing putting me off would be the language barrier - I can speak English, Irish and German, but no Russian or other eastern language.
    It’s great to see how well you’ve integrated though.

    Hi Partizan, on your comments regarding Western Media being utter baloney etc. Would you regard these comments similar towards those against China, my Wife is Chinese and all I hear in the media regarding china is negative negative negative, I have been there 3 times now, and I regard it as one of the safest, cleanest and welcoming places I have ever been, now she is from the North of China which from experience is different to the south of china, but regardless, being from the UK I can see a huge difference in cleanliness and safety and just want to ask if you think the western world and the western media corrupt westerner's views on Eastern countries that are in a stage of rapid development? And do you think this might be because of the lack of development in Western countries and the decline of cleanliness in cities and perhaps an embarrassment governments and people feel?
