The famous Kababi-Kebap-Bar in Kabali


Image: Pepela

You really can get some of the best kababi with a cold beer here in the Azerbaijani village Kabali in the Georgian Lagodekhi Region. Other very good Kababi I had 500 km to the West in Kutaissi.

Chirol travels the Caucasus

Chirol from Coming Anarchy travels the Caucasus and has a really fine day in Tbilisi, thanks for the fresh impressions ! http://www.cominganarchy.com/archives/2007/03/25/a-fine-day-in-tbilisi/

Der Spiegel über Georgien

vielen Dank an Roland aus Mexiko für den Tipp. In der Rubrik Reise/Fernweh fasst der Spiegel (gms) einige Eindrücke von Georgiens Küche, der Gastfreundschaft und von seinen landschaftlichen Reizen in beindruckender Kürze zusammen. Link
Trotz der etwas nervenden Superlativsicht aus der Warte begeisterter Reisender und der dadurch entstehenden Einseitigkeiten ist es doch gut, dass mit dieser Kurzreportage das junge empfindliche Pflänzlein einer ausgewogeneren Berichterstattung der "ehemaligen" Krisenregion Kaukasus ein wenig gewässert wird.

Nice new Tbilisi International Airport


despite the common teething problems of projects of this scale (he, he, remember the incident at the brand new Berlin Hauptbahnhof on January 18th) overall a 100% improved service experience. The new guests from all over the world may come.

But what about the two old airports ? Maybe some huge Disco's ?

Gusto, warmth and almost paralysing hospitality


tuschetien3, originally uploaded by grijsz.

"On a visit to Tusheti last week, I was amazed by the fortitude of those who live there, enduring hardship and privation with such good humour. The Tush exemplify the national characteristics that make Georgia such a beguiling nation: gusto, warmth and almost paralysing hospitality."

Tom Parfitt from the Guardian on Tusheti (2005), read further here
