If you have an android phone, you can use the free app "HERE WeGo". Inside the app, go to Download maps. (The map for Georgia is located under "Europe".) Their maps are also free and although I can't vouch for all of the Georgia map, I have examined the small village roads in my village and the map is accurate as far as asphalt roads go. Dust roads are not visible. The problem though is that there are almost no place names, so you have to locate your destinations by Google Maps and plot them into the navigator. If this is an acceptable solution, you don't need internet connection at all during your trip. I agree with TBOIOMATb_CYKA that reception is mostly exceptional, but the problem is that in some parts of Georgia there is no connection at all. You shouldn't rely on having a connection. You can also buy paper maps. There used to be a map shop right next to the Dry Bridge in Tbilisi which had all kinds of maps and a big printer to make tailor made maps for your needs.

Georgian government officially refers to that area as Tskhinvali region not 'South ossetia', Georgian officials that have called it otherwise in the past (like Mishiko) were simply misinformed or ignorant.

​

And while Samachablo itself is a wrong term to describe the region(because Samachablo itself historically covered Gori and other areas that Machabeli family held) at the very least it's far more historically legitimate than 'South ossetia'.

​

But all in all Tskhinvali region is the most correct way to refer to the region i'd say, because separatist region of 'South ossetia' covers more than a single administrative region of Georgia so referring to it as a singular territorial entity would be incorrect. https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco/I/m/Creation\_of\_South\_Ossetia\_in\_1922.svg.png

Modern iPhones and iPads have excellent VPN support. The L2TP/IPSec and Cisco IPSec protocols are integrated.

Thankfully, VPN services offer standalone iPhone apps to save you the hassle.

StrongVPN is great for more advanced users, while ExpressVPN and TunnelBear are a little simpler. ExpressVPN has better speeds, but TunnelBear has a free tier

I've also noticed similar happening in Strava, where Abkhazian and South Ossetian places were in Russian. Well, the fault is that case is OpenStreetMap, which is one of the largest mapping service providers. https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=8/42.155/43.270

>Do you know about any reliable, detailed books available for purchase online that talk about your history in depth? (Any time period is fine by me).

Donald Rayfield's Edge of Empires isn't perfect, but it provides a good overview. Try starting there.

>Same question, but regarding your people, culture, language, cuisine and other related topics.

There are a few works of art that you can find that are representative, strong, and available in English. In literature, I would suggest Nino Kharatishvili's The Eighth Life, and Otar Chiladze's Avellum, translated exceptionally by the same Rayfield as above, although the publication itself is not so good, basically a printed Word document. In fine arts, start with Pirosmani. Also watch Shengelaia's biopic of the same name, available here. Then look at Goudiashvili and Kakabadze.

For the greatest of Georgian cinema, watch anything you can find by Otar Iosseliani. Also, Tengiz Abuladze's Repentance is playing on Mubi. Finally, you can't (or rather, shouldn't) talk about Georgian cinema without Sergei Parajanov, who was a Tbilisi Armenian. His Legend of Surami Fortress is an adaptation of a Georgian legend, but his greatest work, The Color of Pomegranates is about an Armenian/Georgian/Azeri/Persian poet Sayat Nova, who wrote in all those languages. Also, it stars one of the greatest Georgian actors of all time, Sophiko Chiaureli.

I personally use and recommend https://surfshark.com/ it's cheaper than most VPNs and works with Netflix. (Also it gives you unlimited devices which is nice because I just share the password to my account with my friends and they can use it too)

Hey, best thing to use is offline maps with an android device. Use program called Mapfactor, and make sure to download maps for Georgia.

Maps are based off of open source map project www.openstreetmap.org, they're great.

One little problem if you are already in Georgia looking up this app, the program will not show up at the google store, so in that case you would need to take out Georgian sim card, download Ghost VPN, and clear the google app in your phone before you would be able to download the app. Some reason half the programs on there don't show up for our region. But once you install it everything works just fine.

get a vpn, i always pick a stream on soccer streams. Or if ur in Georgia rn i dont think its really enforced but better safe than sorry. Would recommend Mullvad in that case (gonna delete this comment later so i dont get banned)

I highly recommend The Story of My Life by Akaki. From the description it seems that this translation does not cover his whole autobiography, but only two first chapters (that I read in my copy, too), but nevertheless they form a complete and enjoyable story.
From the description on Amazon: > The Story of My Life is “the most enduring and the best-written prose narrative in Georgian literature of the period, it is a classic portrait of a rural gentile childhood and a mid-nineteenth century grammar school in the Russian empire. One of the world’s great autobiographical studies, it sheds light on a whole national character.”

I can't stress this application enough, saved my life. It's on playstore not sure about appstore. Ling- Learn Georgian Language

Then he's both ripping off foreigners and violating the AirBnB rules and he needs to be reported. They're not allowed to demand more than the price they list on the site. The same thing happened to me a few years ago when I wanted to rent an apartment in Tbilisi for a few days. Even if you don't take the apartment, you need to contact AirBnB to prevent this from happening to somebody else - they even have a page about this problem on their website: https://www.airbnb.com/help/article/251/what-if-a-host-asks-for-more-money

I feel your frustration. It would be ok, I mean, from a marketing perspective I can get why they made Valyrian and Klingon, but this doesn't flow with their stated mission. https://www.duolingo.com/info

>Universally accessible.
>
>There are over 1.2 billion people learning a language and the majority are doing so to gain access to better opportunities. Unfortunately, learning a language is expensive and inaccessible to most.
>
>We created Duolingo so that everyone could have a chance. Free language education – no hidden fees, no premium content, just free.
>
>Duolingo is used by the richest man in the world and many Hollywood stars, and at the same time by public schools students in developing countries. We believe true equality is when spending more can't buy you a better education.

So, somehow creating a Valyrian and Klingon course gives people more chances to gain access to better opportunities than creating Geo-Eng, or Eng-Geo course.

Αχ, δεν μπορώ να καταλάβω μερικές ποντιακές ή λατινοελληνικές ή γκρίκλιές λέξεις (για παράδειγμα, enoi, ke, ema8es). Έγραψες στα Ποντιακά ή Λατινοελληνικά ή Γκρίκλιάς; Και ναι, για 4 μήνες, στο Duolingo (https://www.duolingo.com/course/el/en/Learn-Greek-Online). Είμαι αυτοδίδακτος.

I think it's just a case of sloppy work, done at several levels. First some some underpaid intern that does NOT know anything about anime, because "it's a book for kids, I'll just t put some random non-realistic Japanese cartoon thing". And then the person who had to check, who didn't really bother, maybe for the same reason. Or maybe there has not been any review at all. Considering the English menus at most Georgian restaurants, that clearly have been Google translated and NOT checked by a proper English speaker, it's clear that the idea of reviewing something is not that popular.

Reminds me of THAT church stained glass window. I honestly don't think someone wanted to put an image of Mary holding Jesus' penis. Maybe from another angle it looked different...

Also reminds me of a Christian publication that caused laughter in Italy some years ago. It was title (in Italian) "Open your mouth, I want to fill it". I'm sure they meant "with knowledge" or "with faith" or something equally wholesome, but it's just incredible that nobody thought to tap them on the shoulder and say, err, this is not going to end well.

I'm both cases I think it's a case of being clueless and thinking there is no need to ask for another opinion.

Maybe you would like to read the relevant section (5) of this PhD thesis by Rusudan Amirejibi-Mullen, "Language Policy and National Identity in Georgia".

Hello again - Mods, this is not a sale post. It’s information and a freebie.

My wife suggested we give our eBook away on Saint George’s day, but I fat fingered the launch, so it’s free from today and through tomorrow (November 24 and 25).

Here’s a naked link to the book. We hope everyone who downloads a copy enjoys the read. Naked link posted below. All the best.

you do realize what you are citing right? It is basically an opinion page not any credible information site, that is like me giving you a link to /r/trees as proof. Even so it seems to be citing research but its pulling the wool over you eyes by feeding you bullshit without context.

edit: whats even worse you linked to a page from the church of Scientology

>among those who smoked the drug at least 27 of the 30 days before being surveyed

27 of the 30 days there is no doubt the study they reference might be real? But who the fuck thinks this is normal? If someone drank alcohol 27 out of 30 days they would be suffering liver failure within those 30 days. Do yourself a favor, when you search for actual information on the internet don"t go to some random page and believe what they say. If you do go to a random page think about the agenda that person might be pushing.

As a German you are lucky, as the amount of available material to learn Georgian in German is really big, way more than English. For example, Georgische Verben, but there is also Lehrbuch der georgischen Sprache, with an excellent grammatical reanalysis making things simpler than in most other books.

Its little sour, has a hint of sweetness and spiciness, its made from sour plums. You can get it in any supermarket in Georgia, or here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XPPRRGB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_WF1W4D87CGXKAXWMEHG9

1. You can't ban people based on assumptions;
2. That's some sort of (probably made up?) Mason symbol(I'm sure most of these idiots are anti-semitic to some degree, but you can't ban people because of thought-crime);
3. The beginning is suspicious but then he says that he has no problem with ethnic minorities who love Georgia;
4. It's not illegal to be an idiot;
5. What's the problem here? The book does not seem to be written from a fascist stand-point, just examining the rise of far-right and how to tackle that.

Check this Facebook group. Also if you are alone on 5 star raids use PokeRaid app where you can invite up to 5 players and take any raid you like.

Oh weird... They definitely have locker shelves in Vekua Carrefour and a number of Nikora stores that I usually go.

Yep scanners are there for high-value items and alcohol as far as I know. I don't think groceries have RFID tags. However, if the bag has aluminum foil shielding, no scanner can detect RFID tagged items inside that bag.

I can totally understand. Never leave valuables at home especially if your rent is not through Airbnb and nice reviews. BTW if you are suspicious of your landlord you can leave some cheap smartphone as a security camera using Alfred app.

For a cellphone option, you could try using flashcard apps like the Beginner Georgian app and the StartFromZero_Georgian app to learn on your own some of the basic Georgian words and phrases from scratch.

Beginner Georgian app and the StartFromZero_Georgian app are pretty decent beginnings to help you learn on your own some of the basic Georgian words and phrases from scratch.

I recommend this 172-page book by a female Georgian journalist based in London: <u>Georgia - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs &amp; Culture</u>.
