Tbilisi

Some time ago I made a post about how Amazon Associates are getting paid in the Republic of Georgia, I was wise enough to call that article "Part 1" because I knew there will be a long and probably complicated procedure of  "cashing" a check sent by Amazon Associates here in Georgia. Again, some time ago I wrote a post about how to open a banking account in the Republic of Georgia for foreigners, in that post I suggested sticking with ProCredit bank. Update: TBC bank took over the Bank…

In case you are looking for a veterinary clinic for your pet, I can suggest you Natia Beridze on Nutsubidze street in Tbilisi.

In this article, I have listed a few photos from the visit to the Tbilisi Dezerteer market on December 30, 2014 ( Warning - Some of the images may be inappropriate for some users, on few of them are pictured slaughtered animals. I'm not a vegetarian but I must admit, there are times when walking through this market I have considered becoming one. Georgian version of Christmas trees Well, to explain this version of a Christmas tree I would need to wrap up another blog post, but in short -…

Welcome to another Tbilisi "restaurant" review. This time I would like to talk about Public Coffee on Aghmashenebeli avenue (Right next to McDonald's). Update: Seem this place is out of business The reason I enjoy this place - because they have toasts and delicious Cappuccino, It's one of the rare places in Tbilisi, I like to have my morning coffee and breakfasts. Visit of this place will cost you a bit more than average but in most cases service and food will be delicious. Entrance at…

As an indie traveler, I prefer to travel in Georgia by mini buses, they are cheap and most often the fastest way to get from one point in Georgia to another. Not always, but most often (for example, I would prefer railway to travel from Tbilisi to Batumi over minibus). My first time when I visited Akhaltsikhe was in July 2014, during our 2 day rafting trip. Back then we had a little time to explore Akhaltsikhe and I decided - we must return here another time for a longer stay. That day came…

On a lovely and sunny Saturday morning, we decided to take hiking from Turtle's Lake down to Vake Park. First thing first. How to get to Turtle Lake? Catch a Taxi, or call a taxi company. Personally, I prefer the taxi company with number 2 155 155. Drive to Turtle lake should cost you around 5 GEL. If you prefer to catch a taxi on street - the price may go up to 10 Lari, but I wouldn't pay more than 8 Lari. Update: Use taxi ride companies like Bolt Actually, Turtle Lake or Kus Tba is one…

Fire wok Tbilisi is a small, I would call it a boutique Wok place located on Shalva Dadiani street (close to Liberty square). Here you can have noodles or rice woks for a really democratic prices. Fire Wok Tbilisi There is not much place inside - so if you are planing to take you loved ones to Fire Wok  - it won't be best place to sit around a table and talk about your impressions of Tbilisi. Instead you can order food for takeaway and have it at your hotel/hostel. Menu at Fire Wok…

I recently attended the Winter Charity Fair organized by the International Women's Association Georgia for the third or fourth time. Based on my past experiences, I arrived early at the Sheraton Metekhi Hotel to purchase some goods from the US and participate in the Bottle Bank game at the UK stand. The objective of the Winter Charity Fair organized by the International Women's Association Georgia (IWAG) is to raise funds for projects in Georgia that focus on women, children, the elderly, and…
