senor Fring on May 19, 2023:
I lived there (In Georgia in many places, not in Tiflis/ Tbilisi) for around 7 months.
Did not like it overall.
All is overpriced.
Terrible ratio quality/price.
Mostly, usually - zero customer service whatsoever; funny thing is: you always get charged 10 % in restaurants for "service", which I dont know..what is.
Weather changes all the time...
Like poster before (Abdullah) said, one of the few good things there is a nature (many Arabs come there, as they probably dont have that much green/forest/ rain in their own countries). And yes, nature does include 1000;s of stray dogs...including caucasian shepherds....It takes one look @ these dogs and compare them with Turkish (Turkey, Georgia's neighbour) stray dogs (that are mostly friendly and socialized) to make a conclusion about the country...
Georgia is a wild country.
People are mostly grumpy, rude, and everyone that says that Georgians are hospitable and warm...Surely never experienced what is a warmness and a real hospitality.
Many Georgians speak/ understand Russian, as they were part of USSR/ CCCP, and yes, Russia is one of their neighbours.
However, they hate it, and they have "higher aspirations". However, aspirations and reality on the ground are two different things...Good to have aspirations though...And no, Georgia is not "unique" and "special" like many Georgians think about it/ present it.
After 2022 Russia- Ukraine madness, suddenly ;-), in Georgia hundreds of thousands of Russians moved to Georgia...Also, some refugees from Ukraine, and some people from Lukashenko's playground. Prices went up, and "poor" Georgian landlords finally could make some $$$ after 1-2 years of another madness - corona circus and lockdowns.
Things like kicking out current renters with 1 day notice (to make more from incoming desperate Russian deserters and people) were not that uncommon in Batumi or Tbilis..."Georgian hospitality".
Current rate lari/ usd (around 2.5 gel to 1 usd) is totally funny, Georgia is more expensive on many levels than developed countries that offer better quality and less hassle overall.
Good things about Georgia:
a) mobile internet is fast, widespread and not expensive
b) banking system is "open" and overall friendly
c) tax system (in theory) is very friendly
d) some nice places to see, if you like nature
e) some good people to meet, like everywhere.
f) some good wine to drink, but Bulgaria or Spain (for example) has better and cheaper wine. So no, Georgia is not "unique" again.

Food is mostly very heavy, made for lumberjacks/ people that work hard physically, however, some good fruits and vegetables to get, too.

Hello there, everyone.  Justyna Mio here, and I wholeheartedly endorse WIZARD LARRY for all cryptocurrency recovery needs. If WIZARD LARRY hadn't helped me recover all of the money stolen from me through bogus bitcoin investments, I would be homeless and in debt. I am grateful for his assistance and experience in ensuring that I receive everything back. After receiving their message, I informed them that I had been a victim of a fraudulent cryptocurrency and FX investor, and within 48 hours, all of the money that had been taken from me using Bitcoins had been refunded. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone who has been through something similar. Details: wizardlarry (at) mail.com or +4 366-493-1183-78 on WhatsApp.
Martin Cole on May 14, 2023:
When it comes to recovering your stolen assets, Wizard Web Recovery has the greatest crypto recovery technology and pros. An online broker who promised me 50% returns on my investments conned heavily. I thought about it and invested virtually all of my life savings because, According to him, the more I invest, the larger my profit would be. When the time arose for me to acquire my investment's return, I was struggling to withdraw since the platform I was using to invest with seized all of my capital and completely went down. I had given up hope, was afraid to work, and was close to losing my job. I decided to involve a group of hackers called Wizard web recovery after reading reviews from victims in a similar circumstance and claiming to have received assistance from Wizard Web. This is how Wizard Web recovery supported me in recovering my Bitcoin. I believe someone can also benefit from this evaluation. Send a message to (wizardwebrecovery(@)programmer. net) To inquire about further information.

Best Regards,
Martin Cole

My friend has been sleeping with my husband for a while now but today I secretly caught them with the help of verifiedprohackers@gmail.com After my suspicions with both of them went high, I hired this hacker and that was how I was able to access both phones remotely and found out what has been going on. All praise to you verifiedprohackers@gmail.com
Amelie Rogers on Mar 27, 2023:
I am open to share my experience with bitcoin investment and losing money to scammers. However, yes it is possible to recover your stolen bitcoins. I never believed in bitcoin recovery because I was made to understand that it was not possible. I fell for a forex scam which promised overly high returns and I ended up losing close to 70,000 Euro. I searched for a month for help until I finally came across an article on Quora in regards to recovering stolen cryptocurrency so I reached out to them, Darkrecoveryhacks @ gmail dot com, I was so scared and skeptical because I have heard of bad experiences but I decided to give them a try and to my greatest surprise I was able to get all my stolen bitcoins recovered from the scammers within a very short time frame.

Salary earnings just wasn’t cutting the edge for me anymore , I needed more to be able to keep up with the bills and comfortably provide for my kids so when the opportunity to invest in crypto came to me I didn’t really think much about it .. I jumped on it and made my first quick money.. yes I call it quick money because the earnings came on a daily basis and i could withdraw anytime , it was the perfect side hustle for me but i made a mistake by diving in too deep as I had been overwhelmed by my desire for more .. I invested everything I had in a bid to get out fast with enough funds to last me for the most foreseeable future but the plan went downhill .. these crypto investments companies are fake .. they will tell you they use the money to invest in real estate , stock market , binary trading and even forest trading .. it’s all a bunch of lies concocted to defraud individuals their hard earned money .. one time I worked with a very reputable hacking team to gain access to my partner’s phone so I decided to reach out to them to recover my funds .. I already worked with them in the past so I had full trust in their capabilities and am glad I did .. I really cannot explain how they do it , how they make the impossible very possible but I guess that’s why they are called JETHACKS RECOVERY TEAM OF UNDERGROUND HACKERS . You can easily contact them on TELEGRAM: JETHACKSS or EMAIL: JETHACKS7 @ GMAIL. COM

“ IT IS ACTUALLY POSSIBLE RECOVER BACK YOUR LOST FUNDS FROM A SCAMMER !
How to recover your money from fake brokers, fake bitcoin investment platforms, forex schemes, binary, false investments proposals.
I lost my hard earned money on a fake website, claiming high returns on investment after a momentary space of a week. I invested in their website and after a month, I couldn't gain any access to my capital and profits, I asked why I could not receive my money, then i was told to make an additional deposit of $16,500 for a dumb reason. That was when I knew there was something wrong. I am a policeman with two beautiful daughters, I lost my wife few years ago and I promised myself I was going to do all I could to take care of my kids after the demise of my wife, but falling for such scam for acquisitive reasons and puting my children's future at risk was quite unwelcoming. I went broke afterwards. During the course of trying to redeem myself after few months of getting scammed, i was given a referral on reddit which navigated me to a hacker on the internet. I patiently took some time to comprehend the core activities of this profound hackers. The Asore Corporation is a vulnerability coordination agency that performs a hack penetration guage to provide wealth recovery services for individuals and companies who have lost money through fraudulent online platforms. This organization was able to help me recover my lost bitcoins. I am truly pleased with the works of this hackers. If you really need to recover back your lost funds, contact them on asorehackcorp @ gmail com to get started.
Please be safe out there. “

I have lived in Georgia already for 10 years, I can say that this place is heaven for everyone who respects others. I have read comments here, and I can assure you that only angry Russians leave negative comments.
Excapnes increased after a lot of Russians fled to avoid army in Russia.

Tbilisi city is a city full of dogs, international students , universities , and restaurants , its expensive if you want apartment (1 bed room and hall) it will be like 600$ average cost , utilities, gas. Heating is cheap compared to Europe or middle east , food is expensive (if you don't eat pork ofc) , transportation is cheap , young people know english and little of old people know english as well as russian , don't learn about russian or speak russian when you come here (learn georgian) , the problem is when dollar price increases everything (including products electronics etc) increases in price but when dollar price is going down nothing goes down everything will be the same price , electronics and shoes are expensive, there isn't much of fun in the city ,few tourist interest places , not alot of activities to do , more like quiet city ,nature and climate is the best thing about it 4 seasons in a day ,my advice for muslims:see information about the food you want to buy in the back of the product , don't eat (pepperoni , bacon , pork) always ask about the meat type if its chicken or beef or fish you can eat also 7days croissant isn't halal so avoid it , marjanishvili have arabic restaurants and are mostly halal food ,monthly cost living for a student is 500-600$ , for a family of 4 is 3000$ .
Thank you for reading.

I have been living in Georgia for 3 years
After the start of the Ukrainian-Russian War
300,000 Russians came to Georgia. Real estate and all prices rose. But only Russians don't know about it and complain that it's expensive

They do not speak English or Georgian in Georgia. Only speaks Russian. Only Russians don't know why you shouldn't speak Russian in Georgia. And they complain that Georgians are unkind

I thought they had no manners
But looking back, they were mindless.

If you want to be respected in other countries
First, respect the people and culture of the country.

I’m an American and I have been living in Tbilisi for the last 2 months and I pay $625 a month rent for a small studio in the city center next to liberty square and it’s the cheapest compared to other equivalent in size and price. A big shawarma costs $5.33 and a triple cheeseburger combo meal in McDonald’s is about $6. A cosmopolitan cocktail drink in a bar is about $6.66 whereas a draft beer costs $2.33 in the bar. One khinkali in the restaurant is about $0.40-0.80 each with a minimum order of 5 khinkali. A khachapuri is about $5. Overall, I find great value for the money I am paying despite the big cost of living increases in rent and food prices. Tbilisi, Georgia is a gem.
Anastasia on Apr 11, 2022:
For me as Russian it is expensive. I used to rent a nice flat for 450$ in St.Petersburg and now, in Tbilisi, I can only find apartment for 700$. Body products and food are twice expensive as well.

I visited Georgia last year, I spent my winter break in the country. Georgia is a welcoming country. I had read some statements saying the people are unfriendly and unkind, but based on my personal experience, people are gratifying! Yes, some of them can't speak English, especially the older ones. I suggest you ask questions or everything you want with the younger locals. They can fluently speak English.
Prices of products are surprisingly affordable, even the best liquor. All things considered best! My travel experience was truly satisfying and memorable.

The 'anonymous' comment below is quite mistaken, I arrived in Tbilisi from the UK on the 14th Feb 2020 and found the prices listed here to be quite accurate, the price of 20 western brand cigarettes (Marlboro, L&M etc) is pretty much bang on 5.70 Gel. A loaf of bread can be bought for as little as 0.60 GEL. A whole fresh chicken can be bought for around 6 GEL. Like anything it depends where you shop and of course these are average prices. The prices I am quoting are from places like SPAR, Goodwill which are more pricey but convenient. If you venture into the local markets you will find things considerably cheaper but then you will need a grasp of the language or a Georgian friend to help you.
Jeffrey on Jan 13, 2020:
Visited Tbilisi and enjoyed the experience. Food is excellent and inexpensive including good quality wine. Once two of us had lunch for a total of 8.5 lari (including drinks) so I gave the waitress 10 and said keep the change. She was absolutely overjoyed. Things are a bit scruffy compared to home (Canada) but not problematic. Accommodations are adequate but usually there is something slightly amiss or non-functional compared to a first world country. We noticed that the public signage has been converted from Georgian/Russian to Georgian/English. We had no concerns regarding safety. Public transportation network is pretty good, and very inexpensive. I would highly recommend Tbilisi for a visit!

Stop insulting Georgia, if you come from a wealthy but autocratic country and were not given legal permission to live here after "investing" some money that is no investment but a way to live here; because you come from a poor country and your landlord kicked you out of one-bedroom apartment which you have inhabited with tens of your relatives altogether; because you come from a wealthy country democratic country and look at others above shoulder; lastly if you are a simple Kremlin agent from Russia or elsewhere, trying to make bed reputation of Georgia, stop it, it does not work that much!... :) And those coming open-minded and with open hearts are very welcome, we are hospitable, tolerant nation and we will always be. We are Georgians, a nation with long history and promising future and if you don't like us, find your other peaceful destination!.. ;)

"A visitor would need atleast $125 USD per day per person to afford it."

So $3,750 per month, right? Then you guys should come and stay in London or Paris. It'll be cheaper!
