Minsk!!! Any ideas?
Hi guys!
I’m again a full weekend in Minsk, Belarus. I wondered if someone has any idea on what to do there. We’re mostly ending up at a bar or wellness in the hotel but maybe someone knows something else
Due to the extreme cold I’d prefer something indoors XD

Its very cold there, so dont go out. Instead find a window with a good view, some good wine and some good food and play on BG on Sunday. Its the only day our group of misfits can get together

I can’t bring my computer
I would have done so otherwise!!!
It will probably be a wellnessday in the hotel with those temperatures

Hah, too funny — when I first read your post I thought you were looking for build ideas to recreate Minsc the ranger from the original Baldur's Gate.
Hamster animal companion anyone?

Well, I think sir_blacksoutalot got you the answer. You can buy a hamster there.

I thought you had 100% cold immunity... Is that not a thing IRL?

But what do I do with the hamster when I go back?
I doubt the hotel would want it in the lobby. I could bring it as an emotional pet with me but I doubt they believe me when I say I have fear of flight as one of the operating pilots

Tell them you need it in case you meet a dragon.

Honestly, go out, take pictures of the ice. Just wear additional layers of clothes. If it is cold outside... You can increase the number of socks on your feet, and your toes will not be that cold. You can wear thin gloves on your hands, and then bigger cloves on top of them, and your fingers will not be that cold. You can wear two pairs of long sleeved pants under your actual pants, and your legs won't be that cold. You can wear two or three hoodies underneath your jacket, and your chest won't feel that cold. Now, wear a woolen cap, and put on the hoodie hoods and your head will not feel all that cold.
It is all about dressing properly.
