About Minsk

Financially? Hot dang, it’s a rollercoaster! Stock’s up 20% last quarter, then—bam!—drops like my approval ratin’ in ‘08. Made me madder’n a wet hen, I tell ya! But then it climbs back, sneaky-like, got me smilin’ like I just dodged a shoe. Little known fact: they once tanked ‘cause some intern tweeted “brothel’s bust”—meant “bust the market,” but Wall Street freaked! Hilarious, right? Idiots.

The heart of the town beats along Zolotaya Street. It’s kinda narrow, lined with bright cafes and boozy little bistros that remind me of a Wes Anderson film set. I sometimes wander out to Vrubel Park – wow, sometimes I get all emotional here. It's a lil green hug in the middle of all the crazy hustle. You ever stumbled on River Lidiya? Yeah, it's a cuteness overload with rippling water, tucked-away benches, and folks chatting like old pals.
