Hello
everyone! It's Jens again, this time from Georgia, which is already the fourth
country we're visiting in this trip. Time's flying!
So, I'm
going to introduce you all to Georgia, by telling some general stuff about the
country. I hope you enjoy it!
Just as the
previous countries we've visited, Georgia used to be a part of the USSR, so I
think you know approximately where to find it on a map. It's located at the
crossroads of Western Asia and Eastern Europe, as Wikipedia describes it poetically!
There are
around 4 469 200 people living in Georgia. Their capital is Tbilisi,
and has a population of 1 152 500. The city is located at the banks
of the Kura River. It's already been the capital for nearly 1500 years. Our
visit to the city was fun and interesting. We've visited the building of the
Roads Department, which you can see in the left picture. It's a very strange and
unique building! I've never seen anything like it before. We've also visited
the Parliament, the Supreme Court of Georgia, the Tbilisi Opera and Ballet and
we've seen a lot of other things, like the Freedom Square (right picture), with next to it the
City Hall of Tbilisi, which is also a nice building.
It was very
easy to see a big part of the city in little time, because of the metro
network. The network is very basic, with only two lines and 22 stations, but it
helped us very good to get to see a big part of the city without losing too
much time.
So, that
was it for the general things about Georgia, and some information about the
things we've seen during our visit. I hope you liked it as much as we did. See
you!
Jens
