Georgia

Hey!

What do you know about Georgia? I think that in your head there is only one, well known answer: it’s a wild country situated somewhere between Europe and Asia, but actually it’s really hard to decide where it belongs to.

Well, to be honest, we know nothing about Georgia. But I need to admit that last year, when one of my friend decided to go to Georgia for some European project and she started to posted many intriguing posts and amazing photos, I realized that maybe it’s worth getting to know something more about this country. That’s why I decided to show you today some interesting facts about this country.

*Although the country it situated on the border between Europe and Asia, most Georgians consider themselves rather Europeans than Asians. But on the other hand, there are many differences between Georgians and other inhabitants of Europe. For example, if you don’t know neither Georgian language nor Russian, it would be really difficult to communicate with someone in Georgia because most of them can’t speak English as many Europeans do.

* Georgians are really friendly and open-minded. They willingly invite and host strangers. What’s more, they always rely on their family and consider their relatives as the most important person in their life.

* On the one hand, Georgians are really religious. Almost 80% of them confess to believe in God and what’s more, this number still rises. But on the other hand, they are one of least tolerant country in the whole world. That’s why they don’t support homosexuality.

*The alphabet: Georgians language is really special and creative! They have their own beautiful alphabet, which consists of 33 letters, and many surprising sounds which don’t exist in any other languages.

The history: Joseph Stalin born in Georgia. Till today there are people who on the one hand adore him and are really proud of him but on the other hand, there are many Georgians who consider him a person who murdered their compatriots.
