This time I took part at the International Youth Conference 2008 from Dec. 06th till 07th, near Minsk. Organised by the International Association for Humanitarian Cooperation (IAHC) – an important NGO. A real NGO not an GNGO (see HERE). I’ve met so many friends and more than 150 youths at the 2day conference. It was all about Atomic Power, the financal crisis and regenerative Energy. But before we start with pictures and photos, let’s have a look at Minsk from December 2008 (all photos are snapshots from the 8 hour movie I’ve made there):
The Flight with Belavia was nice and short (2 hours from Berlin Schönefeld /Germany)
The airport Minsk at Night:
Only 12 Km remaining!
My beloved Minsk:
The Victory Square with the Eternal Flame:
It’s 5:30 p.m. – much traffic and crazy taxi drivers:
The new National Library at Night:
Near the Afghanistan Memorial:
A Metro Station:
Fast trains arriving at perfect time:
The Palace of the Government (Lukashenko):
Since Oct. 30th Lukashenko does no longer allow children to travel to other countries. But the E.U. allows him to travel to E.U. countries. Mad!
Architecture called “Stalin Barock”:
The new Main Railway Station:
The new big Supermarket below the Independence Square (next to the Red Curch and the Government Palace):
