Belarus

Of course, I am going to start with the place I come from. And of course, it begins with B. Belarus is a beautiful country with rich history and wonderful people. The facts about it can be easily found online, but here is a list of my favorite things from Belarus (absolutely random):

lilacs
lilleys-of-the-valley
wild mushrooms

long walks in the woods
dandelions

the magic of old
castles, forts, ruins

long talks at the kitchen table
