Observer Kaiserslautern
Probably the most associated with
football, Kaiserslautern is a city in
southwest Germany and is home
to almost 100,000 people. Around
50,000 Americans inhabit the city and
it’s surrounding as NATO military personnel. This is a very interesting city
with its incredible mixture of cultures.
Eating Turkish, Indian or Chinese food
in a typical German town while having
people all around speaking English is
a common thing. The Technical University Kaiserslautern, the technical
college and the numerous research
institutions (Fraunhofer Institutes for
Experimental Software Engineering,
Institute for Industrial Mathematics,
the German Research Center for Arti?cial Intelligence, the Institute for
Composite Materials, Max Planck Institute...) contribute to the good reputation of the business location Kaiserslautern.
To see:
- Japanese Garden (A piece of the Far
East is artistically designed, a harmony of light and shadows, plants and
stones, water and paths.)
- Humberg Tower and Palatinate Forest
(Distinguished by the UNESCO as
a biosphere reservation, the largest
contiguous forest in Germany with
12,000 km long network of trails!)
- The Imperial Palace, the Casimir Castle tunnels and Emperor's Fountain
- Dinosaurs garden
- Fritz Walter Stadium
rebuilt of?cially on September 16th,
2012 after heavy damage it had taken

After Bagrati Cathedral – visiting Sataplia and Prometheus caves would be
awesome. The only word that comes
to my mind for describing these places is – Gorgeous!!!
Next thing you will de?nitely see here
is The Gelati Monastery. For a long
time it was one of the main cultural
and intellectual centers in Georgia.
Finally our guest will visit a breathtakingly beautiful Svaneti. Here you are
going to see an awesome mix of old,
traditional and modern culture and architecture. Also you will de?nitely love
our traditional food called “Khinkali”
and native drinks like beer and “chacha”.
Observer Kutaisi
Lyrics of one old Georgian song say
-“It’s so easy to see Kutaisi and so
hard to forget it…”
Kutaisi was the capital of the ancient
Kingdom of Colchis. Archeological
evidence indicates that the city functioned as the capital of the kingdom
of Colchis as early as the second millennium BC. From 978 to 1122 CE,
Kutaisi was the capital of the United
Kingdom of Georgia, and from the
15th century until 1810, it was the

the city of Kutaisi. The cathedral was
