Features of the local way of life in Belarus, which do not coincide with the usual

It is impossible to visually distinguish a Belarusian from a Russian or a Ukrainian. However, the peculiarities of mentality, way of life and even the weather still affect each individual people. Editorial "Site" Today we will talk about the habits and life of Belarusians in general. We will share the story of our reader, who lived in Belarus for 3 years.



For such a long stay in a new country, a woman quietly adopted habit, peculiar to Belarusians.

1. Crossing the road only in designated areas She was always responsible for the rules of the road, but without fanaticism. What do we do when we have to go to the other side and there are no cars around? Of course we cross the road. But in Belarus it is not necessary to do this. The police are closely monitoring order at every step. The woman even knows about one very revealing case. Her friend once tried to cross the road in the wrong place. Despite the fact that the cars were not nearby, he was immediately fined.
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Order delivery of products One of the largest food chains in Belarus offers a service free delivery. You just need to order a list of products online, and on the same day (or the next) the courier will bring all the products directly under the door. Very convenient. So why not take advantage of this opportunity? That is why the need to go to the store by yourself simply disappeared.
   
   
   
   
   
   
3. Buying fish on Fridays In addition to the previous point: the heroine of our article bought something in stores - fish. Another large chain specializing in seafood brings in new products on Friday. Everyone tries not to miss this day to buy quality, fresh sea fish at a very affordable price.
   
   
   
   
   
   
4. Walking with a serious face A serious facial expression is the calling card of any Belarusian. The fact is that most of them are always focused, thoughtful and never. don't smile. All of this is bound to provoke a reaction: you start smiling less often.
   
   
   
   
   
   
5. Drink a lot of coffee A couple of huge cups of coffee is now our reader’s daily program. Otherwise, you will have to sleep all day. The problem is that there is very little sun in Belarus, so the locals almost need this invigorating drink. Of course, in the summer, sunlight is still enough, but with the arrival of autumn, a lack of vitamin D in the body is extremely acute. Apathy, lethargy and depressive mood indicate this. Coffee in Belarus is much more expensive than, for example, in Germany.
