I think any traveler, who visits Georgia, will hardly resist falling in love with
this country. As for me, upon return I
came to realize what I miss in my home
city. In Tbilisi the shops stay open until
2 o’clock in the morning. In Minsk the
only public places that stay open at that
time are night clubs and restaurants. But
if a person is strolling about the city or
taking a bicycle ride – I love evening bike
rides – why should they go to an expensive café or restaurant? Not everyone can
afford or would be willing to go there if
all that you want is a cup of tea with a
bun or an ice-cream. In Minsk at eleven
everything comes to a standstill, the city
is sleeping… but the streets of Tbilisi are
full of light! The narrow streets are flooded with dancing people – and it sets you
into a cheerful mood!
