SubscribeGeorgians are warm, traditional, and occasionally hard-drinking people from far Southeastern Europe. Unlike its neighbors in the Caucasus, Georgia was named the world's number one economic reformer, and has the only truly free press in the region.
Georgia is also strongly-- even legendarily-- welcoming to visitors. It's a point of great pride amongst Georgians that they are known for their hospitality. As mentioned above, a significant portion of that welcome may involve numerous tall glasses of wine or "chacha" (moonshine). Georgian cuisine is delicious and tends towards the hearty side. Meat, bread and cheese dishes are overwhelmingly represented.
Tbilisi (and Georgia as a whole) is fairly socially conservative. Living with a significant other to whom you are not married or publicly identifying as gay are likely to elicit negative reactions, particularly in the countryside. That said, the law prohibits discrimination against LGBT individuals. Attitudes in Georgia towards marginalized groups are changing... but everyday Georgians are not yet as accepting as most of the US or Western Europe.
Tbilisi's public transportation is cheap, reliable and effective. It's very possible to go without a car and use the metro or buses entirely. The metro was built during the Soviet era, so it may seem a bit imposing, but it's safe and coverage of the city, particularly the center, is very good.
Georgia is strongly pro-western despite its history as a Russian satellite. Starting with the administration of Mikhail Saakashvili, Georgia warmed to western overtures, and considered joining NATO. Previously Russian-Georgian signage in the capital was replaced with English-Georgian signage. Perhaps the strongest factor in Georgia's pro-Western and pro-American stance was the Russo-Georgian war of 2008, during which Russian invaded, occupied, and appropriated the regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. US President George W. Bush flew humanitarian aid into the country on military transports, and Georgian citizens remember this show of support.
