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 intereting article on the language:

Dadiani Palace History and Architecture Museum
On my next holiday's planning, I would definitely consider going to Georgia!
Wow, your blog make me want to visit Tbilisi too and see all of those things in person, especially the paintings and the arquitecture. Also, I think that if I go there, maybe I will get lost looking on that beautiful view.
ReplyDeleteI never hear about Georgia before, I think that the landscape it's amazing because the nature is in it, but the thing I found more interesting of this Country is the lenguage, the writting remind me of the "Tenwar" lenguage of "the Lord Of the Rings". I maybe consider to go someday to visit all the museum mentioned.

ReplyDeletei'm literally trembling right now. i'm shaking and having visions and allucinations right this moment.
ReplyDeletei could point to something i ate that developed a green film over its surface, i would be having food poisoning and would have to be rush to the hospital, but i'm going to relate this symptoms to having been expose to the knowledge of Georgia, i've been overflown with beautiful images of nature, and people and their communities.

I found your blog really interesing, I never heard of Georgia before so I learned a lot. I think that my favourite part was when you talked about Georgia's language and writing system. I even googled it because i couldn't imagine the sound of an unknow language.
ReplyDeleteWow I had never heard of this place, from the photos you can see that it is too beautiful. I like its old architecture, it's like watching a vintage movie.
