I remember visiting Tbilisi in the early 2010s as a volunteer English teacher and being greeted with this stupid sign as we left the airport.
What other out of place, inappropriate, boot-licking or jusr plain dumb American or other Anglo landmarks come to mind for you?
[especially when they replace the much cooler names given by the indigenous/native peoples of the area]
georgian here, AMA
(yes, I want this street to be shelled)
Not a question, but I wanted to say I love Georgian wines and I would very much like to visit someday. Kbye

Have you ever been to Chiatura, the city of cable cars?
(yes I know there has been an upgrade in recent years but the rusty old cars look so much cooler)
i haven't, and i'd love to go, but i don't really have a way to justify a trip just for some cable cars. it's a mining town, so there isn't anything else interesting about chiatura. i still want to visit someday though
"Just" cable cars? Look at this place, it's beautiful! It looks like the Huangshan Mountains of Georgia.
most of Georgia is like this, the entire country is lined with beautiful lush green and big mountains. it's very beautiful but it's also something you'll see everyday just living outside the capital
Gamarjoba!
I spent nine months in a small village near Signaghi and would love to visit Saqartvelo again someday.
My main barrier to this would be protecting my family against COVID.
How are things going with masking, vaccinations, measures to reduce transmission and the general public's feelings over the past few years since 2020?
most people are vaccinated against COVID, although you won't see anyone wear a mask unless they're also sick
