Anybody coming from Ananuri castle to Tbilisi and able to take the pup to the vet?
There is a puppy that’s been ran over and we think it’s dying.
We tried to call places and ask for help, but no vet can come over and the nearest clinic is in Tbilisi.
There are some people who are willing to help with the vet expenses.

Glory to the heroes!

Glory to Ukraine!

Glory to Georgia!

The exact reasons for his second arrest remain unknown at this stage.

If you have visited Georgia, or are planning on visiting, what’s the biggest obstacle that made planning/executing your trip difficult/more stressful?

Hi! I saw this subreddit and thought this might be a good place to ask; I know it’s a little silly but I think the Georgian language written is SO pretty! So I want to get ‘I don’t speak Georgian’ tattooed on me because I think it’d be funny. I don’t trust google translation, and I really don’t want to look stupid, so can anyone from here let me know if this is right? Thank you :)

"Oh, but English is hard
Listen to the Georgian alphabet:"

I am considering visiting Georgia. I have some questions:

1) How easy is it getting around for English speakers?

2) How much is the cost of a meal in a normal restaurant? How easy is it for pescatarians to eat?

3) How much is the cost of basic hotels per night?

4) How easy is it to get around without a car?

I am considering traveling by rail from Tsiblisi to Yerevan. Any suggestions/recommendations for this trip? And are there recommended stops?

Thank you.

Hello everyone!

I am Georgian (Megrelian to be specific, but an expat because of repressions...) and I'am doing studies about Kartvelian indigenous names (Mingrelian, Georgian, Svan, Laz and also Khevsurian, Tushetian, Gurian, etc...).

Specifically native ones that were not borrowed from other cultures and don't come from a Georgian word that itself is borrowed from other languages.

I wanted to ask if there are people in this subreddit that are from mountainous regions like Khevsureti or Svaneti (of course including all of the mountainous regions of Sakartvelo).

If you are here on this subreddit, could you tell me what are some Kartvelian names from your region? (you can share your name, or maybe share your neighbor's name or other locals :D)

If you are a follower of a pre-christian religion too, it would be interesting what names in your circle are used.

Of course, if you know the history and etymology behind the names it would be even better.

Guys, do you believe in Georgia's future? Is it going to be better, same or worse? Since the 1994 Georgia has been steadily improving, but what about its future? Will Georgia be able to maintain stability and prosper? I think Georgia has no future; I and my economics professor had a discussion about Georgia's rise and its future. My professor was optimistic about the future but I didn't believe her. My main reasons as to why Georgia has no better future is that first, demographics and emigration; the country is literally shrinking and birth rates and marriage rates are falling, so it will get worse. Second, geopolitical situation disfranchise Georgia; Russia is currently occupying around 20% of the country and will likely attack Georgia in the future as well. Why would Russia attack Georgia in the future? Because of the same reason Russia has always attached Georgia; it's Russian imperialism and Russia's will to foreign conquests. At least, I am sure Russia will apply damaging pressure on Georgia; didn't Russia cut Georgian imports this month? So, Russia has already started weakening Georgia. Third, Georgian economy lacks innovations and high value-added output. Tourism can't build a high-income, developed economy; the recent spike in IT exports is the result of relocations of businesses due to the ear in Ukraine; I see no significant Georgian IT innovations and high value-added solutions. So, what do you think? Will Georgia have a brighter future? I don't think so...

Hi I’m looking for some recommendations about destination near Batumi for a hike or just one day trip.
Bonus points if car is not required and I can get there by mini bus.

ქუთაისში გაიხსნა 2 ახალი ავტოსადგომი სადაც იაფად შეგიძლია დააყენო მანქანა გრძელვადად? ხომ არ იცით რამე მაგის შესახებ? ვნახერო რომ რაღააც პლატფორმაც გაეშვა სადაც წინასწარ შეგიძლია მაგათთან დაჯავშნო? ?

Hi, I wonder if it works, and if you had any problems, I mean companies like myHeritage, 23andme, Ancestry etc.

Gamarjoba! :)
I‘ve been living in Europe my whole life and would like to have later a house with a nice garden. Either I‘m gonna build one by myself or I will just buy a house.

I wanted to ask you, which region of Georgia is beautiful? I would like to be near the mountains but I know that Georgia has many mountains and I‘m now curious which region is good? Or: which regions is known for what?
And how much are the prices for houses there? In Europe, it’s almost impossible to buy a home.

I‘m studying Radiology-Technology and would like to know, if there are working places for this job in Georgia?
And also, how are Georgians towards foreigners living in their country?

Thanks!

Turkey doesn’t allow full passport ID numbers on health insurance policy forms, only the first and last few numbers. Is this enough for border control to confirm that it is indeed my health insurance and let me in to visit?

Today, a Russian Metropolitan stood at the pulpit. Metropolitan Georgy of Nizhny Novgorod and Arzamas conducted a divine liturgy at Samtavro Monastery in Mtskheta and passed along warm greetings from the Patriarch of Russia to those present in the church.

A video circulating on Instagram was posted with the caption: "It was particularly pleasant to hear the service in the Russian language today".
