All you have to do, it to get in touch with right people (like everywhere). E.g. IT community is very progressive and communicative (at least they all know english). If you want to meet them you can visit startup hubs, IT conferences, co-working places. Also Facebook and vk.com are handy tools to make connections and find groups by interests here too.
neighbours and friendship:
We have "hard to forget" historical purposes not to believe our neighbour (e.g. you can read about repressions in Soviet Union). It seems strange, but people in the neighbourhood usually don't talk with each other. But nowadays old habits is no more relevant, and most people understand it. So you can at least try to establish contact ;)

Born and raised in Minsk, 28y. Male.
Advantages:
- Clean city with forests
- Public transport just works as expected.
- Have a lot of kind people
Disadvantages:
- Products are not so fresh in shops as I used to see. But there are some Bazars where you can but fresh fruits if you like fresh fruits and vegetables
- Private kindergartens are very expensive if you are comparing it with average salary of citizenship. And it is not easy to take place in government kindergartens. Really cost for 1 month for per child private kindergartens not less than 300$ )
- If you love east cuisines, it will be unhappy with meals cooked here. But you can find restaurants which was opened with east traditions.
