Are skyscrapers ruining the vibe? Batumi, Georgia vlog, birds, coffee and capybaras

In this video I’ll travel to Batumi, the palm tree paradise of Georgia, compare it to Dubai, try coffee in coffee shops of Batumi, search for capybaras and seagulls, pet stray dogs and have a lovely walk at the beach. So hop on this ride with me!

" Walking on eggshells " it means you try not to inadvertently upset another person

[@solconcordia4315]

Georgia is flip-flopping on thin eggshells between the E.U. and the Russian Federation.

[@stacymcmahon453]

Probably represents Georgia trying to live next to Russia.

Nice seeing you again. I spent my whole life working never having enough money to go anywhere. If I did it was only a few hundred miles from home. So when I bought a house it was in an area where many people from the city go on vacation. It's great to see a young person traveling the world and not slaving away just to get by. Thanks for letting us look at places we'd never be able to see because we're all too old and worn down. Say Hi to Natty.

Humidity is a deal-breaker for me, I like living in a dry climate with four seasons. That city seems very clean, wish more Western cities were like that. Thanks for the tour.

[@dan_hitchman007]

Thank you for another great vlog and your thoughts and opinions. Maybe, one day, you won't have to be depressed at all and we will see your warm smile more often. I will continue to hope for that day. May it come soon! ☘🙏

You appear happy and relaxed, hence a great video full really interesting places and objects. Love your comments keep up the good work .

[@pauldunecat]

The pigeon wasn't looking for food, but sand. Birds don't have molars so they have a pouch called a crop (also call gizzard) where food goes to get pounded mechanically before hitting the stomach. Mama birds feed babies with this and it's called crop milk. Oh and some dinosaurs also had a crop but used much larger rocks instead of sand in their crop. 😂

[@DepressedRussian]

I love learning about things like that from comments

[@lyntonadams6896]

We were wondering what you were doing! Missed your videos...I'm glad to see you again!

[@greg5775]

Hi Alena, Nice to see you. Hope you are well.

[@richardrawson9430]

I liked your video. A good solution to humid weather is a sudden drastic increase in humidity, like wading into the Sea until the water is just above the waist, and then immersing yourself. Makes the whole world feel better. ❤ from the evil West.

[@ourfinesthour6994]

Good to you putting out another video. Those ducks and geese are your friends.

[@arbackhaus]

Love watching your videos. Glad you're doing well.

[@dsmj7389]

Nice video !! Sorry you got unlucky with the humidity and sorry your prize was a math lesson. I think Turkey wants to have the world pronounce it TUR-KIA now. That's my best guess, and all you have to do is remember the name of the South Korean car company.

[@Daytona2]

ikwym about temperature & humidity. In the UK we mostly get humid wind from the Atlantic ocean, making it feel damp a lot of the time. It's so much nicer when we get dryer air from Europe, both when it's hotter and colder. Congratulations on 50k 🎉🎈🍾

[@vclamp]

Two weeks ago I heard about a Capybara Cafe (Tokyo), so my first thought was "We MUST get Alena there"! I am glad you had the experience. ☕ The giant flip flop is sitting on the eggs so that the eggs will hatch out the new baby flip flops! Several years ago I was watching a huge fireworks show celebrating American Independence Day. My neighbor was talking, with tears in her eyes, about how it was the most beautiful thing to have freedom of choice and actions, and the potentials in America. She grew up in central Moscow. That sums up a lot right there.

[@anna2424able]

I also can't swim 😂 glad to see you posting again

[@peterrichardson4192]

You don't need to dress up. you have natural beauty. Those sky scrapers look incredible, i did not expect to see skyscrapers in Georgia.

[@lucianog1114]

in italy we dry clothes out of the windows sometimes even the underwear

[@solconcordia4315]

In Hong Kong, the government estate we lived in had three steel tubes built into the conconcrete for holding bamboo poles for air and sun drying the clothes. It's less environmentally damaging than the typical way of drying clothes here using much electricity.

[@timvertz3687]

Always enjoy your videos & especially your humor!!! lol! I live on the west coast of the US & you would fit in perfectly with people your age here. My daughter is your age & you sound just like her and her friends. Keep the videos coming, they’re always so fun. :)

[@rustyford2790]

Great video that looks like a fun place to visit but I don’t like humidity either. Looking forward to your Turkey video have fun making it.

[@AlterMann57]

Have you ever visited the U.S.? My goodness, your English accent is absolutely American! I just viewed Natty's video about Copenhagen and she visited the "Happiness Museum" and I thought you should visit that site the next time she goes there. You are such an amazing person, and I share your love of coffee. Do you love full roast? That is my favourite. I am so glad to see you enjoying yourself, and just know that even an old boomer like me looks up to your bravery for leaving your home country to live life they way you choose.👍☕🌈

Good to see you again Alena! Hope you’ve been well - hey did they play the “Capybara Song” at the Capybara Cafe? lol 🤷‍♂️😂

[@StephenPhantom]

That's so much like my city, we have a sail boat building like in Dubai, i don't like them either, they are too expensive to live in for me anyway. I have lived here all my life, but i don't like architecture that is too elitist give me brutalism ( style of architecture like in soviet countries ) if we cant have houses for everybody, but yeah, similar place with high humidity that makes you sticky all the time and crave air con, ha ha.and too many rich making the standard of living very hard for us here. Lots of love to you gorgeous Alena, from spring time in Sydney ( Australia ) !!!

[@SecretSquirrel2023]

great work, I enjoyed the weird gravel beach expanse. Interesting buildings, will they find people to pay the service charge ? and the air conditioning bill ?

[@solconcordia4315]

The "gravel" beach means that Batumi is downhill from mountains with rocks being eroded. It's the Caucasus mountains. The rounded stones resulted from the waves grinding the fallen rocks. The waves' energy came from the wind and storms acting upon the Black Sea. The assortment of "weird" gravel means that there are different types of minerals there. As for whether there will be people who will be able to pay the service charge, the answer is usually yes as long as the security situation is fine. Both Sarajevo and Beirut ("streets paved with gold" "Paris of the Middle East") were nice cities before wars ravaged them. The key to a good place for business development is political stability. Georgia is flip-flopping on the edge of greater powers (the E.U. and the Russian Federation) so it's a bit precarious. To the affluent northern European travelers, however, balmy and humid weather may very well be what they look for (yes, brighter sunshine ☀️ can be an antidepressant which is rarer in northern Europe than in Georgia). My own birthplace, Hong Kong was balmy and humid in 黃梅天 in which walls can sweat ! It was still a great tourist destination. I loved going to the many beautiful beaches over there, despite not knowing how to swim (primarily not knowing how to breathe and float but I knew many forms of peddling styles). Warm air-conditioning condensate can breed Legionnaires' bacteria so maintenance is important. I myself have learnt to manage to achieve comfort without using air-conditioning (dehumidifying and ventilation were used instead) for years now. A Batumi vacation for affluent northern Europeans is probably still considered fairly affordable so the tourism business is viable (as long as Russia isn't invading).

[@stevesmith7839]

I am envious of the development and culture in the rest of the developed world. In America, there is very little development, very little culture. The architecture is stodgy and worn out. The venues are impersonal, drab, and very expensive. The urban streets are dirty and unsafe and the rest of the country has roads that are not maintained. There is little mass transit that is comfortable, safe, and affordable. In the cities, homeless people are piled everywhere.

[@wheelmanstan]

Countries build these cities and it's like that Field of Dreams movie, "if you build it, they will come". They just hope it brings tourism. China has basically a small version of every famous city..which is insane but kinda interesting. I think people just mostly take wedding photos at them.

In America the term is ,” surf “ board.

[@magickis33]

In the USA that would not be a beach, it would be a shoreline. Beach's are covered in sand. Next time just wade out into the sea just above your waist and dunk your head underwater, that will stop the sweat! Swimming is not necessary! Enjoy life ~ Miss Depressed Russian!!!

One important note about air fryers: Anything with alot of fat in it, like hamburger meat and bacon, can't be cooked in it, at least not in my Ninja AF101. The fat drips down into the bottom and starts to burn causing a cloud of smoke to billow out the exhaust.

[@serajislam1963]

I like to say Batumi! Batumi batumi batumi! I tried to learn swimming in Lake Michigan and the life guard came to see if i was okay so i gave up after that. The lived-in parts of the city were so pretty. It's always sad to see that international investor money look invading every corner of the planet with its bland and soulless ugliness. Those rocks in that water are almost begging to be thrown at that McDonalds.

better learn to swim now cause you would more likely survive a flood instead of going under . It is a shame that you have not learned it already. Here you learn it mostly before school and if not then in school sports. At least in central europe people can swim and had prooven it by getting a certificate or better a badge the kids show on their swim suit or shorts

[@mattklein5498]

The flip flops, representing mindless useless footwear, on eggs, the eggs representing fragility, is obviously a commentary on the fact that the new cultureal influences in Georgia, denegrated in this representation of flipflops, viewed as a danger to the fragile historical culture of Georgia, are not a threat to the new Georgia waiting to hatch and will be the Georgia of the future a child of the Georgia of the past. The flip flop is a temporal mistake embraced by those who offend common sense, they are harmless and Georgian culture will endure. Elena
