I’m no expert photographer. I only take snaps using my phone. But what am I going to do with all the content I’ve taken so far? Post it here!

Georgia is generally considered the birthplace of wine. And just by that fact, I consider a visit to the country a pilgrimage. It sits strategically in the middle of Western Asia and Eastern Europe – a perfect destination for a person like me who was born in one continent and now living in the other. While I do not want to get into the complicated history of how the world ended up designating the state as “Georgia” (from its Persian/Russian/Armenian/Latin origin), I do want to clarify that it has nothing to do with St. George or the US state of Georgia. Apparently, it means “the land of wolves” and I enjoyed my time there so I guess I must be one.

If you want to look at the photos I took and dishes I ate in Tbilisi, here are the links: photography and food.

If you want to look at the places I visited in Georgia outside of Tbilisi, you can visit this link.

In the meanwhile, here are 5 pictures I took while visiting other parts of Georgia:

I think the rock formations under the water explain the two different colors of the river converging. And visiting this reminded me that there are still a lot of anomalies in nature I haven’t seen.

My Asian heritage was bleeding inside when I saw the bread lying on the dusty surfaces of the car. But I guess that’s the Georgian way of eating and I partook in it anyway. Now, I can even see a truck driver from afar wanting to run us over and have it all to himself. 

It’s a shame that not many people know how beautiful the mountains are in Georgia. Here is my small contribution in spreading the knowledge. 

The hike would be easy for fit people. I’m not fit. But the Gveleti waterfalls, both big and small, are just breathtaking. 

I envy the dog. With temperatures reaching 40 degrees (at least that’s how it felt like), I can’t be bothered. 

All photos were taken on August 2022.
