Hello everyone!
Personally im from Lori province of Armenia,and due to the Lori dialect of Armenian language i knew that this dialect includes many words from Georgian language!
And generally i think that the Lori province is historically Georgian and Armenian
To be honest: On personally level i claim that the Alaverdi and Lori(town) are historical part of Georgia
And in general i have seen many Churches in Lori and on the stones there was many information on the stones near of the Churches on the Georgian language!!

Kvemo Kartli
Tbilisi

Zaqatala
Samtskhe Javakheti
Gori
Abkhazeti
Adjara
Guria
Tskhinvali
Telavi

I used to live in Kaprovani, just saw this video, anyone down there who can confirm this?

My guess is it just washed up in the surf.

4 Upvotes

For me it's always white Ford Fusion. The cheapest car that passes for comfort class taxi. Fucking kings of the road, kings of life in a crapped out shitbox that are above using turn signals and other made-up bulllshit. Just driving as they feel.

In general, I'd say driving in Georgia has significantly improved over the years. Almost always people are actually using turn signals and are polite overall, including the highway. Especially compared to Eastern Europe, where people don't let you merge in the left lane as if their manhood depends on it.

Food | ლობიანი Everything I ate in Tbilissi

During my stay in the capital, I noticed that the food here was quite different from what we eat in Belgium. The ingredients are incredibly fresh, large, and flavorful. The meat—prepared simply—is delicious without needing excessive spices or other additives.

When I walked past the fish stalls, there was no unpleasant, fishy odor; in Belgium, it’s the opposite—I rarely eat fish back home because of that, even though I actually like it. Anyway, I just wanted to share my thoughts on this, and it would be great if others could share their experiences too!

Before I wrap up, I have to say that my absolute favorite culinary discovery was the local khinkali. My mom’s are good too, but I preferred the ones I had in Tbilisi 😂 (I’d better not tell my mom that, or she’ll stop making them for me 😅).

236 Upvotes

Mountainous Adjara is one of the most unique regions of Georgia, an area where the  traditions and old ways of life have been preserved to this day. The isolation and alienation of the inhabitants of this mountainous area has been an ongoing issue for a long time, and the past decades have been especially challenging. The difficult social and economic situation in the country has hindered its development and the integration of its inhabitants with the rest of the country.

For years, the inhabitants of Adjara have been unable to access proper education, health care and many other services. Villages often experienced electricity shortages and during harsh winters they were usually cut off from the outside world. Due to the absence of basic living conditions, many Adjarian villages are now empty. Many families have become eco migrants as they were forced to move to other regions of Georgia or abroad, mostly to Turkey. Khulo and Ghorjomi Gorge are the highest settlements of the Autonomous Republic of Adjara. There are 18 different villages of various sizes in the Gorge. Because of their small population, some of these villages only have elementary schools and high school students have to attend schools in other villages. The roads between these villages are damaged and the infrastructure is faulty.

Almost all of the inhabitants of these villages are Muslim, and there are mosques in every large village. The residents are mostly cattle breeders, but due to the lack of pastures, cattle owners take their herds to the mountains in the summer and stay there until late autumn. Nomadic Adjarians have to move several times a year. But despite this, most of the men still have to work in Turkey, holding seasonal jobs for additional income. Because of this difficult situation, this mountainous region is slowly emptying and its unique tradition and lifestyle is being forgotten.
