I first became interested in Georgia a few years ago, and totally fell in love with it last year. I want to visit it, and potentially even live there temporarily or permanently. It's good to know that everything is really cheap there! Even if I didn't have a great job, living a normal life would be inexpensive, which is good. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the supermarkets have a lot of the same brands we have here in the States. It would certainly make the transition easier, as I wouldn't have to adjust my lifestyle too much, while learning more about the Georgian culture at the same time. Thanks for the video!

Thanks! I've been planning this move for the past 2 years, but because of the Pandemic I pushed off. I'm going on vacation in November to see how I like it... then hopefully be there for a year or more. Just watching your video got me excited. I'm so ready. I think I might just stay for a year, just because it's pretty cheap there, and I can just soak in the culture and take my time. THanks!

Hello, great video! Very informative. I have a question, did you require a vaccine (not covid-19) to enter Georgia? On the travel guide for americans, it is recommended to get vaccines for hepatitis A and pre exposure rabies. Does the UK guide say something similar?
@TonyGoesGlobal3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching. I had already had rabies and Hep vaccines when I went to live in Ukraine, so I didn't need to get them again. My wife got bitten by a dog in Georgia and needed 6 injections. There are many stray dogs there so it's probably a good idea to get rabies shots and probably Hep too. Personally, I probably wouldn't have bothered getting them if I was only going there for a week or 2. But if you are planning to be there long term then it would definitely be a good idea. One thing to consider is that your insurance might not cover you if you get bitten and need vaccines in Georgia. Especially if it's against US government advice.

As far as I know, you need to earn a certain level of salary and do a particular job to qualify.

I traveled to many countries one of my favour is Georgia. However there is one thing I do not like about Georgia, Georgia cities are one of dirtiest city in Europe. Do not get me wrong. The cities authorities try to clean the cities, but the problem is the thousands of stray dogs on the citied and their feces. A group of local doctors made an study. They said that the level of infection by dog parasite is so big in the population that it is endemic. The dogs infect the people and children. Many parasitic infections have not symptoms, to an epidemiologist, an endemic infection is one in which overall rates are static - not rising, not falling. More precisely, it means that the proportion of people who can get sick balances out the ‘basic reproduction number’ of the number of individuals that an infected individual would infect, assuming a population in which everyone could get sick. Walking on the street of Tbilisi I saw many young and old people with infection of parasites without symptoms . The same in Batumi. The local doctors reported the government back in 2018, so far the government has not done anything about it. The bad part is that people do not care about the problem, out of ignorance.

The government probably just kept the money for themselves rather than dealing with the problem. It's such a shame that there aren't more shelters for the stray dogs. :(
