this country, or at least it's capital city, is great. it is super friendly and full of lovely things to eat and drink. you also get a chance to use your hypothetical russian. and where doesn't have grinding poverty and widening inequality?

recommended: khatchapouri, tarragona (a drink - limonat - and brightest green), the women of sunny house (an NGO, not a brothel), anything with XXI in the title, and the rather endearing man who will crack your back if you make eyes at him.

i want to come back here. it's true that i say that quite often, but it's truer here than for istanbul or tirana. this is in a league with budapest, although it doesn't have a classy european university. and georgian script is cool.

the president is having built a palace modelled on the reichstag, with the crucial difference that it will house not the parliament but the head of government... sakartvos gaumaros!
