What's the name of this restaurant?
On this one, I will guarantee this is the funniest name for a restaurant you have ever seen.  I'm not going to tell you the name of it (at least not right away), I just want to see if anyone else can figure out the reason it is sooooo funny.  In other words, it is written in the Cyrillic Alphabet, so figure out what the 4 letters are in English and have a good laugh.

I have no idea, Mike, but can't wait to find out!  I'm not familiar with the Cyrillic alphabet at all. :-[

Restaurant is named:  ФарÑ,

Here's a link to a chart of the Cyrillic alphabet:  http://www.colby.edu/library/collections/technical_services/wp/Cyrillic.html

The photos are exquisite, Mike ... this looks like such a clean town (city?).  Thank you for sharing.  :)

I looked at the alphabet and still can't figure it out.  I couldn't find the "r" symbol--probably just overlooked it.  I will take a guess at
"If I were you".  I know that doesn't make any sense! :)

I am wondering what gasteous food they serve at that restaurant!!! 

Okay, I will bite.  Does this mean the same in Minsk as in the U.S.?

Wonderful sharp photos!  I really like the one of the window and door. 

Sure a strange name for the restaurant!   :o

Glad I'm not the only one who finds it funny...  OK, for the rest, it is
Restaurant ФАРТ = FART

I almost got in an accident when I saw the name of the restaurant, because I started laughing so hard.  We wondered if their menu consisted entirely of beans :-) 

And no, it does not mean the same thing in Russian as in English.  It actually has no meaning in Russian from what I've found out, as fart in Russian sounds like Pukhnuut (rhymes with suit)
