One Night in TBILISI, GEORGIA | This City is So Cool!

Hidden gem of Europe! I love Tbilisi!

[@lalie9019]

Hey Gabriel! First off, you're doing a fantastic job, and keep doing it! Secondly, we don't claim anything, including the fact that Georgia is the cradle of wine; there are lots of proofs out there to say it out loud. P.S. You are not the only one who said that we "claim" something. Nate, from Kara and Nate, also did that, which is rather offending for me, as a Georgian. We don't need to invent things to prove that we are one of the oldest civilizations, with some interesting background; facts are showing that instead. I'm not gonna link you the articles in here, but if you are really interested in Georgian (or any country's) history and culture, there's a lot of information on the internet, about everything. Cheers!

[@GabrielTravelerVideos]

Now that you mention it, I think I said that because I watched Kara and Nate's videos and they said it. No offense intended! :)

Gabriel, I've really been loving these videos about Georgia! I have to say that I never knew anything about Georgia at all, I had just heard the name of the country, and that's about it. But through watching your videos of your time there, I have become very interested in this beautiful country. Thank you for sharing your travels, it has really opened my eyes even more to the world, since I've been watching your channel! Those natural hot springs sound really awesome. I love doing saunas, so I can imagine how great it would be to spend a few hours going back and forth between the sauna, hot springs bath and cold shower! So relaxing and invigorating at the same time.

The statue on the hill is Kartlis Deda (Mother of Georgians), she holds a bowl of wine in one hand for guests and a sword in the other for enemies. The oldest winery was found in Armenia, but there is archaeological evidence of wine in Georgia at the same time. In fact, our word “wine” is derived from “gvino” - the Georgian word for wine. The cornbread thing you had with the soup is "mchadi". Enjoy your stay in Tbilisi.

Hi Gabriel Traveler, thank you for your work and videos, also just in case, of course, old Tbilisi also has its own historical, specific appearance and significance, which also manifests itself in the ethno-cultural mix and so on., but there are also other interesting places of Tbilisi, like Rustaveli Avenu, Marjanishvili St, Agmashenebeli Avenu, Sololaki, Freedom Square and other places, with all the kind, various European architectural styles of buildings, houses, places, streets and cultural centers and you will get a much more complete picture about Tbilisi.

[@ak11472]

...And also, just in few more other details about Georgians (as from historian by education) about Georgians ethnic origin, cultures. Georgians in Caucasus, Etruscans in Italy, Corsicans in Corsica, Picts in Britain, Spanish Iberians in Spain and other Iberian/ Celtic peoples of Europe have same ethno, ethnic origin and represent Iberian race, Iberian, Ibero/ Celtic peoples of Europe, this is why all these listed peoples ( together with the originality of each of these peoples) also have similarities, identical in the different forms of culture, in folk music, dance, in ancient architectural style and so on. Also Georgians cultures of different historical times, periods are European ( together with their original Georgian cultures, influences with different European cultures, beginning from ancient times, influences with ancient Greek civilizations/ cultures, with Roman cultures, later with Byzantium culture, Catholic Europe and other European cultures during the history of Georgians, Georgia.), and of course all these historical things proven historically/ scientifically by World's, European (including Georgian) historians/ scientists, and this is why Georgians European/ Western way is absolutely naturally and historically right way to returning to their European roots, which means to returning their true Georgian roots in this South- Eastern, Caucasus region, where Georgia itself is located, and this is how the vast majority of Georgians consider themselves and their country.
