Experienced my first Earth Quake - Tbilisi

Today for the first time in my life I felt tremors of earth quake and it happened in Tbilisi, capital of Georgia. Nothing serious, as it's was announced in news - magnitude of this quake was 4.8. Although using other sources I found it was even 5.2.

My story will be as dumb as many other dumb stories you have heard, like  - I went to bath and then I noticed that water is swinging.

Indeed, my story is dumb - I laid back to take a nap and…

A Brief Experience with Silknet Technical Support

Silknet is one of Georgia’s major internet service providers and, to be fair, generally offers solid service at a reasonable price. That said, even good systems fail occasionally—most notably, Wi-Fi routers.Silknet supplies customers with affordable ZTW 300 routers. I have no objection to that, as long as they work. When they stop working, however, the real challenge begins: contacting Silknet customer support.What follows is a familiar journey—…

Georgian Bus - Great way to travel from Kutaisi to Batumi or Tbilisi

At first, when Kutaisi International airport was built (around 2012/2013) there were few transport options to choose from to get at least to the city center of Kutaisi, as it turns out, the city is actually located about some 17km from the airport. Back in the days, there were just taxi services, which was and still is pretty costly (as long as you are not using BOLT)

While you are still figuring out about your next flight to Kutaisi…

Batumi Aerial Tram

One of the must have tourist attractions in Batumi is an aerial tram (cable car) ride. Built back in 2012 these gondolas will take you in a 2,5 km long route at maximum elevation of 252 meters. During you ride you will enjoy breathtaking aerial views of Batumi city.

Best enjoyed in evenings shortly before sunset. At the other end of the ropeway there is nice viewing platform offering scenic views to the city and Black sea.…

At first you will need to have some taxi to get there, luckily I…
