Tbilisi (Capital of Georgia-The country, not the state in the US) A dreamed city.
When I first learnt about this country, I thought I was hearing about one the states which are part of the USA. Later I learnt that Georgia is one of the most ancient countries in the world! I immediately was curious to know why a Christian-like flag lives among many Muslim neighbours. I went on to investigate about its roots in history and I was struck by the richness of its culture, literature and the countless middle ages remains, spread all across the country. Similarly, their religious legacy is marked in every church they have, the paintings, the iconography, and the architecture of the building and basilicas created a real impact on me.
The Georgian landscape
If I have the chance to go, I would like to visit some of the many monasteries, such as Jvari up in the mountain and near to Mtskheta. Also, the state museum Joseph Stalin is a must to visit once there, this will show me the days under the Communist regime occupation and last but not least, the Dadiani Palace History and Architecture museum; which is considered one of the most important in the Caucasus.
Lastly, as a language teacher, I fell in love with its language and writing system. I dream travelling to Tbilisi (or any other city) and hear the people talking in their language. Also, I would love seeing the streets signs, the newspapers even how they look or how Georgian sounds like on television! Since their letters are so different to ours, I’d love experiencing every day Georgian. I am convinced that I would get involved in a course to learn the language and their characters some day.
Dadiani Palace History and Architecture Museum
On my next holiday planning, I’d definitely consider going to Georgia!
I had never heard of this country, I really love the landscape of the second image, it look so utopic with the amount of vegetation, and the mountains with snow and the blue sky in the background. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with your opinion! The Dadiani palace looks wonderful and has a really a well-kept garden. Also i notice the flag looks like the templar flag
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that georgia had its own language, now I'm curious to know how to hear it. It looks like a really beautiful place, I fell in love with the dadiani palace :D.
ReplyDeleteWow the country is amazing, it has very nice places. And I find interesting its religious legacy and the antiquity of Georgia. Definitely have to add it to the list of places to visit sometime in my life.
