Tbilisi A dream city.
(Capital of Georgia-The country, not the state in the US)
When I first learnt about this country, I thought I was hearing about one the states which are part of the USA. Later I learnt that Georgia is one of the most ancient countries in the world! I immediately was curious to know why a Christian-like flag lives among many Muslim neighbours. I went on to investigate about its roots in history and I was struck by the richness of its culture, literature and the countless middle ages remains, spread all across the country. Similarly, their religious legacy is marked in every church they have, the paintings, the iconography, and the architecture of the building and basilicas created a real impact on me.
The Georgian landscape
If I have the chance to go, I would like to visit some of the many monasteries, such as Jvari up in the mountain and near to Mtskheta. Also, the state museum Joseph Stalin is a must to visit once there, this will show me the days under the Communist regime occupation and last but not least, the Dadiani Palace History and Architecture museum; which is considered one of the most important in the Caucasus.
Lastly, as a language teacher, I fell in love with its language and writing system. I dream travelling to Tbilisi (or any other city) and hear the people talking in their language. Also, I would love seeing the streets signs, the newspapers even how they look or how Georgian sounds like on television! Since their letters are so different to ours, I’d love experiencing every day Georgian. I am convinced that I would get involved in a course to learn the language and their characters some day.
Here is an interesting article on the language:

On my next holiday's planning, I would definitely consider going to Georgia!

ReplyDeleteOhhh is very nice to read the way you love the culture of Geogia (not the state ksksksk). Well, I can say that I don’t like much enough Georgia, because I hate church’s architecture in general, but they are different points of view nothing more : ).
ReplyDeleteHi, teacher, it's a very interesting country. Honestly, I didn't know anything about the country. In fact, I thought that Georgia was just a state in the United States. I had seen the flag once, but I didn't know its name. It has a very striking culture and language.
