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]

    Have you ever been to Chiatura, the city of cable cars?

    Show

    (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
