Eistein Guldseth is brilliant man, a great writer and photographer from Norway, married to a wonderful and beautiful Georgian wife, a multitasking man, finance, law, Internet and for me the most close, his brilliant blogging about Georgia. He traveled intensively a good part of Georgia and covers his adventures with his fresh style of writing. I highly recommend www.writern.no
surf around his website and get away to the dreamland "Georgia".

Art-Gene festival in Tbilisi (16-22 july)

Final concerts of Art-Gene festival are held in The Open Air Museum of Ethnography in Tbilisi. Dispite the rain on the opening day (july 16), a lot of people gathered in the yard of the museum and number of people is growing day by day. I was presenting all these days and enjoying watching and listening real Georgian folklore. Tomorrow festival finish. In the evening, at 9 pm group 33a will held concert.
I advice all of you to come and see this amazing, Georgian soul festival next year..


This kind of house was typical in the west regions of Georgia

Molly Corso on 2 very interesting topics

the mysterious disease of pigs in Georgia, which threatens not only our Schaschlyk, but the unique half wild life-stock grazing in the Georgian oak forests
http://www.eurasianet.org/departments/insight/articles/eav070607.shtml

and on the possible impact of the Olympic Games 2014 in Sochi on the frozen conflicts in the Caucasus
http://www.eurasianet.org/departments/insight/articles/eav071107.shtml

I personally believe it will turn out to a very positive boost on all spheres in the Caucasus Region !

Thank you Molly and EurasiaNet
