The only warning I can give is dont look too well dressed and give the indication of wealth. The average monthly wage for a Professional Teacher in Belarus is just 100 U.S.D. so be concious of what you are saying and what you are buying, it may take a whole year for the average Russian to buy something that you can buy in 3 seconds, be aware and not too ostentatious. Crime is quite high in Belarus and so is Corruption just like anywhere else in the world, though maybe more so here. Be aware of the relevant Embassy or Consul in case of necessity.

Try do not use overcrowded public transport during peak hours. There could be pocket robbers.2. When traveling by car, don't stop in the night on the road. Use motels, campings or special parkings.

You should be very careful on the road. I heard a lot of stories about gangs. And in Brest border jam some guy bumped our camper. It has Finnish plates and he thought to get some money. Poor guy!Traffic police is trying to get bunch of money from foreign cars. Watch out speeding 'cause roads are very good!
