If traveling in Tbilisi, a map should be handy, or a good smart device with a SIM card for local networks.

SavSeTi Tbilisi moedani Shavsheti interraction with the locals. Whether you say, "hello" in English or whatever is your gonio Tbilisi Moedani native tongue, do so. Even better if you say, "gamarjot" (gaa-mar-joh-bot). Georgian (Square) people are very reserved in their street-side manners, that is unless they know you Gonio 1 B or they are engaged by you, the traveller. Your Georgian experience will directly depend Chavchavadze upon your willingness to step outside the traveller's bubble, where you simply observe dmanisi though interract little with your hosts. Say, "hello" to those you meet on the street. maiakovsqi Use your lexicon/dictionary as a tool to open up doors. It works. WavWavaZe Dmanisi 4 T Mayakovsky Now, get lost, or semi-lost. Georgia isn't a large country, so get out on the roads. Take sarfi avTo sadguri Avto Saadguri a marshrutka instead of hiring a guide or a taxi if you have to time to serendipitously Sarpi 2 B (Bus Station) meander a bit in the country. The time spent will well be worth it in the end. You will have stories. Not all good, but the good ones will far outweigh the negative ones, and those negatives oftentimes lead to the best stories anyways. Get out there, get lost. Drink Georgian wine. Interact with the locals on the marshrutkas. You just may find yourself the guest at a 'supra'. If so, and you like wine or vodka (chacha), God help you. Turkey Gaumarjos!
