Does Belarus differ greatly from Great Britain?
Yes, it does. We speak different languages, have different customs, traditions and historical development, but we have much in common, too.
Between Belarusian and British I found some common characteristics, many Belarusian people as well as many British people think of their land as great and strong and the best on the whole world. But the British can be particularly and stubbornly conservative about anything British. They are rather proud of being different. It is, for example, difficult to imagine that they will ever agree to change from driving on the left-hand side of the road to driving on the right. It doesn’t matter that nobody can think of any advantage in driving on the left. British people are obliged by society stereotyping to be polite. British do not as a rule express their real feeling. And Belarusian people are free to express their attitude, they are more sincere. But anyway, there are plenty of things that I like about British: their humour whatever it hides, I like the British breakfast, English tea, gardens, romantism and English language.
What questions will you ask your foreign friend about his/her country?
What is the capital of your country? What are the most interesting places in your country? Is your country big or small? Where is your country situated? What holidays are celebrated in your country?
Give me a piece of advice on what to choose from a tourist guide to do when planning a visit to the USA/Canada/Australia.
Your first step in how to start planning a trip is to choose a travel destination that meets your interests and travel budget. Once you have chosen your destination, step two in planning a trip is to book your flights. When you plan a trip you’ll want to know what are the must-visit tourist attractions and the best free things to do in your chosen destination. When I plan my trips I love to discover new cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs when I travel.
Do the British traditions and customs differ from Belarusian ones?
1)I think British traditions and customs differ from our traditions. The UK is a parliamentary monarchy and the most spectacular traditions are connected with Parliament and the Queen.
But we have something in common. British and Belarusian people are very religious and we have a lot of traditions and customs connected with religious events and holidays.
2)I think the British differ from Belarusian people. The English are believed to be very reserved, which means that they don't talk much to strangers, and don't show much emotion. A reserved person never tells you anything about himself. But we can tell everything about ourselves and our family to a stranger.

British people are famous for their habit of politeness; they keep their old traditions and are very proud of them. They are famous for their sense of humour. They like to drink tea with milk. But we don’t. They have their five-o'clock tea not only at home but in offices. Of course, there are some traditions that Belarusian people follow, but I think they differ somehow.
