[@bearstrengthwithin]

The nature is beautiful, but I lived there for a year and wasn't happy there. Sorry just being honest. I traveled to many countries and was always able to focus on the positives and enjoy myself. In Georgia there were just so many rude people (in general, of course there are also good people), it was incredibly frustrating for me. One day walking in Tbilisi people even bumped into me very hard about 8 times in one hour, that never ever happens to me (being a big guy), not in any country, but here it happened a lot! Men are also incredibly sexist. My female friends (from the US) were constantly being harassed. I guess it's ok for holidays though.

[@emp100k]

It's a small country, 119th in the world, just between Ireland and Shri Lanka. It's population only 3.6 million, yet somehow they've managed to produce the strongest weightlifter of all time, arguably the strongest arm wrestler of all time, an Ozeki Sumo wrestler known as one of the most powerful of his generation, a top world level strongman, and a man considered one of the most fearsome Olympic style wrestlers in the world right now.

[@Maddolis]

That's one hell of a resume. Was happy to see Tochi mentioned on this video too!

Also this is interesting, that every tenth hero in the Soviet Union was an ethnic Georgian. Georgians received the title of hero of the Soviet Union 5 times more often than representatives of other Soviet ethnic groups, even the largest ethnic groups like Russians, Ukrainians etc.
