Belarusians are open，warm，and honest.They often say "please" and "thank you".They use "you" in different ways.Young people call each other by first names，but grown-ups use first names and father's names.

Belarusians laugh loudly to express happiness. A small smile may mean they look down on someone. This is very different from the meaning of our "polite smile".
