Well, that was easier than I thought it would be. The Metro station is across the park from the end of our development. They don't have network maps though, weirdly.
On the plus side, I got out of the flat fine and there's a supermarket (and bureau de change) at the Зacnaвkar (Zaslavskaya) end of our street where I grabbed some Kommunarka chocolate, locally produced.
The evening finished with us eating the Belarusian cheap pasta dumplings known as Pelmini with a Japanese class-mate of Jeanne's, Marie.
I had thought that the perception that Belarus' president Lukashenko dominates news was overblown, but when he does speak he dominates the news. At least 10 minutes of a 20 minute bulletin was him.
Considering the tight control over news, Belarus broadcasts a lot of news bulletins, most have hourly updates.
