Tbilisi (Capital of Georgia-The country, not the state in the US) A dreamed city.
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.
Dadiani Palace History and Architecture Museum
Georgia sounds good, if you can go to visit this place I hope you can share you experience with photos and videos, now I can learn more to this country.
ReplyDeleteSurely I will be posting some videos and some photographs when I'm back. For the time being, let's cope with the scenario and see how can we travel abroad.

ReplyDeleteI never heard about the Georgia country, only Georgia the state, but if you go to Georgia I recommended you to visit the bridge of peace, I don’t know If the bridge is in the country Georgia but am 90 % for sure.
ReplyDeleteI had vaguely the country of Georgia in my mind, but I didn´t know many of the facts you wrote drown, and I was surprised by the medieval richness it possesses. I was very interested in the Dadiani Palace History and Architecture museum, I will investigate it!
ReplyDeleteI never heard about Tbilisi or Georgia before but sounds like a great place to visit on holiday with family, their language looks complicated and weird so probably I can't talk to anybody but the experience maybe could be fun.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of Georgia, I think that like most of them had heard of Georgia but as one of the US states, but what can be seen in the photos has some beautiful landscapes.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thanks for talking about Georgia and give us the opportunity to learn about this country and its culture, actually, I would like to visit the Didiani Palace History and Architecture Museum too, this place attracts my attention. Also, its language would be interesting to listen it and try to speak it.

ReplyDeleteI didn't know that it is a country and I think their religion is very interesting and important for them. I hope that you achieve your dream to travelling to Georgia.
ReplyDeleteWow, I guess I never thought Georgia was a country, let alone one of the oldest. About going there, I find it very interesting to learn about other cultures and languages in general.
ReplyDeleteGeorgia sounds interesting, I had never heard of this country. Now I will investigate a little more about the history of the country, I'm curious.
ReplyDeleteI had heard about the country before but i dont look for more info or something but after read the blog turns out that is very interesting
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this country until now, but in the photo I can see that it has a beautiful landscape, I would love to see the mountains from the Svan towers (second photo). Also, looking for the name of the building in the first photo (Holy Trinity Cathedral of Tbilisi) I found a weird place that is the Prometheus Cave, I think it would be a good place to visit.
ReplyDeleteNoted on my list of places to go on holiday! I have been very informed with your blog because there are many curiosities of which I had no idea. I hope you can visit it one day professor!
ReplyDeleteWow, in the images I can see a beautiful landscape with very old and interesting architecture. It really made me want to research Georgia! if I visit europe one day i hope to visit this site.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting, I thought that Georgia was just a state of the United States, I hope I can go and see all those places, traveling is one of the best things in life and getting to know different cultures.
ReplyDeleteI have read about a lot of contries before, but usually I don´t feel much interesting on this topic, but this one sound amazing to me, specially when you mentioned the monasteries.
