| Inside the Belarus |
Main office of Andersen Company is located in Belarus (Minsk). Almost all members of our team are citizens of Belarus and are living and working in this country. Belarus is our motherland.
This note is about Belarus for non Belarusians. It’s created for you in order to let you see the country where Andersen produces software.
Before to start, we placed a couple of facts from  to acquaint you with the general information about this country.
Belarus is located in Eastern Europe, bordered by Russia to the east and Poland to the west.
The population consists of 9,724,700 citizens. The nation's capital Minsk, is home to 1,741,400 of Belarus's. Country's two official languages are Belarusian and Russian. National currency is Byelorussian ruble that is ~2900/1 to dollar.
Since 1990, on the base of scientific and academic infrastructure of republic, Information technology industry began to develop. The present day, according to Forbes magazine, the average percent software development per head in Belarus is higher than in world leading country India.
So for now, that is enough with statistics.
We thought a lot of how to make this article more alive. The idea was to write it as if it was a guide for a foreign visitor. On the other hand, if you still read this, it is very likely that some day you’ll decide to come to Belarus and this article will play its duty.
Arrival
The first place you will see in Belarus, if you’ll get there by plane, is a national airport (Rus)
Airport is located at 42 kilometers from the city so it will take you 40-50 minutes to get to the city. The quality of the road is amazing, besides you will enjoy a great number of local sightseeing on the borders.
The building that looks like a diamond is the National Library. People in Belarus do read much. According to the original idea, the library had to reflect the light by its wall glasses and shine like a diamond. But something went wrong. Maybe someone stole the money for good qaulity glasses or the construction didn’t allow this, but now, behind the wall glasses you can see the wall itself with small windows and white bricks. For this reason a miracle of an infinite treasure of knowledge sort of disappears.
Hotels
There are three hotels in the city where it is possible to stay. Actually, these are three the best ones. There are other not bad hotels but for the first time let’s consider only these three.
The first one, is really good.
The second, is good as well.
The third, Minsk, is not bad, but you won’t find there anything special
Our company
Andersen office is located nearly in the center of the city and not so far from any of these hotels I mentioned above. The house, where we are located, is rather old administrative building, but in beauty spot of the Minsk.
First picture it’s our office from the river side. Two others are Gorkey park that is located close to the doors of our office.
Currently Andersen consists of 22 employees, average age is 25 years old and most of employees are men.
