If you get stopped without the necessary documents, it's going be a serious headache for you. Changing money isn't a problem.Avoid photographing government buildings etc. As filming can still land you in trouble.Sleeping on trains (unless it's overnight train with sleeping compartment) isn't particularly safe. You won't find a huge amount of English spoken outside Minsk, but you'll get by. For accommodation, I would advise looking at backpackers hostels. Lonely Planet is a good guide book.Have a good trip.</blockquote>
