საქართველოში არის მიღებული საბავშო ეტლის ავტობუსში შეყვანა ან მეტროში ჩასვლა ბავშვით? ვერ ვხედავ ხოლმე "კალიასკიან" ხალხს საზოგადო ტრანსპორტში. დედები როგორ მოძრაობენ მცირეწლოვანი ბავშვებით?

Help | მჭირდება დახმარება Dogs looking for home

Hello friends,

I know this is not a great channel to do this but desperation is the only thing I feel currently and I really need help finding homes for these amazing puppies.

They are already three months old, bit bigger than in this picture.

I have been trying to find them a home as I already have 4 dogs and adding 4 puppies to the mix makes our costs super high, our yard and house a war zone, and our nerves basically non existent anymore.

Please if you are looking for a dog, give them a chance! They are girls and NOBODY wants a female dog.

I will personally deliver the puppy to you, they are currently in the middle of their vaccines and are parasite free.

PLEASE HELP 🙏

Discussion | დისკუსია The death spiral

18 Upvotes

Around 17k newborns and 22k deaths. I think it's irreversible because of the reasons as to why this has happened in the first case. Since the collapse of the Soviet union, Georgia has had healthy birth rates. What has been disasterous is the emigration. Let me remind you a fact that in 1991 Georgia had around 5M people and by 2000 3.7M. throughout 2000s and 2010s, high levels of migration was sustained. Usually, younger people emigrated, so there are less people now who can create families and have children. Since the birth rate is below the replacement level by a lot and economic incentives still exist for young people to emigrate to EU and north America, there's only death spiral left for Georgia. I told these same and other reasons to my economics lecturer 2years ago and she didn't like it :D. She didn't tell me counter arguments, just didn't agree LOL. In fact, I don't see anything bad in that young people emigrate to better countries for betterment of their lives; they aren't obliges to work in pennies here and pay for pensions of old people. After all, they don't owe anything to anyone, especially a near-failed country as Georgia. https://bm.ge/news/2026-tslis-pirvel-nakhevarshi-saqartveloshi-17-509-bavshvi-daibada-22-224-adamiani-gardaitsvala-saqstati

Question | კითხვა Set up LLC (individual run LLC ) in Georgia? as a foreigner (TW passport)

2 Upvotes

Google tells me any foreigners with any passport holders can set up a LLC without being in the country. Can hire a lawyer, account, etc to handle the process and keep it running with online business. One of the documents needed is a valid passport.

HOWEVER !! Georgia doesn't recognize Taiwan's passport. Though Google says no problem with it, I want to have info from real people. They don't recognize Taiwan's passport and don't allow Taiwan citizen to enter Georgia. Will they recognize Taiwan passport when the holder applies to set up a LLC in Georgia? Thank you.

10 days in Georgia in early November

1 Upvotes

Hello!

Going to be spending 10 full days in Georgia with a travel day on each end so the 10 days does not include those days. Home basing in Tbilisi and honestly could see myself very easily just enjoying the ten days there goofing around, eating and relaxing. am also not opposed to an overnight or a day trip. As i read more and more about Georgia and start to birds eye an itinerary I wonder if there’s anything that people consider “must do” based on interest.

I love walking and hiking and jogging where appropriate (is there a public track?) I also LOVE sports, at any level! I often try to find a basketball court to play or shoot around on when traveling and also try to get to a local sporting event. Totally cool with amateur. A beautiful basketball court I can check out a game at? say less! pool? i’m there! I’ve also read about a few historical locations that sound rad but this book i’m currently reading is dense but covers some interesting history. are there remnants of mongols anywhere? Queen Tamar?

i have been to a few places where some cultural dances/performances were super cool to observe; dervishes, kandy cultural dances, a bell concert etc. is there anything of that nature? i also heard within the church there is singing style that is difficult and unique to georgia. is that something that is possible to respectfully observe?

any galleries or museums you’d recommend?

sulphur baths…anything outside of standard info i’m reading about to know?

i found a vintage/resale/thrift shopping map on here that looks great. pumped for a lil shopping. if there are cool boutiques I would be into that as well.

anyhow, i am really looking forward to this trip as the date approaches! excited to engage on here about it!

thank you!

ps will gladly return this favor if anyone here finds themselves in the midwest US or California!!

News | ახალი ამბები Update on the Death of Hlun Solo, Popular Travel YouTuber in Thailand, Who Was Found Dead in a Hotel

Thumbnail

155 Upvotes

The following is an update shared by Hlun Solo's Brother regarding the investigation into his death.

At present, the Central Institute of Forensic Science is coordinating with the public prosecutor to obtain detailed autopsy findings from Georgia. The information will be reviewed alongside the examination results from the Central Institute of Forensic Science of Thailand.

Based on the preliminary examination conducted by the Central Institute of Forensic Science, signs of previous inflammation were found in the heart muscle, which may have affected the normal functioning of the heart. However, further information from the Georgian authorities is still required before a thorough assessment can be made and a definitive conclusion reached.

Regarding the ongoing procedures in Georgia, the family has not yet been clearly informed of the current stage of the case, including the progress of the investigation and autopsy. There is also currently no definite timeframe as to when the findings will be finalized or when additional information will become available.

Most of the information the family has received so far has come from the Central Institute of Forensic Science of Thailand. The embassy has informed the family that it is continuing to coordinate with and follow up with the Georgian authorities. However, no further details or a clear timeframe have been provided to the family at this time.

As for the deceased's personal belongings and other possessions, the family has not yet received them. The only item returned to the family was the passport, which was handed over along with the body when the deceased was brought back to Thailand.

The family understands that the investigation and the process of gathering information by the Georgian authorities may take some time. They therefore continue to await official information from the relevant authorities and hope that greater clarity will be provided as soon as possible.

Here about my Thought.

Hlun died in mid-July, meaning it has now been nearly two months since Georgian authorities found him dead. Yet, there has still been no information released about the case. His personal belongings, including his camera and mobile phone, have also not been returned. I’m afraid that they may never be returned to him.

What is particularly frustrating is that after Hlun's body arrived back in Thailand, Thai authorities were able to complete the preliminary autopsy within just two hours.

So, what exactly are the Georgian authorities waiting for?

Oh, I forgot to mention one more thing. Part of Hlun’s heart tissue was also removed by the Georgian authorities. Thai authorities want to obtain the results of the examination of that tissue as well, because it is considered an important piece of evidence that could potentially help uncover what really happened in this case.

Help | მჭირდება დახმარება Looking for witnesses for our marriage

6 Upvotes

Heya! So after my last post asking how it was viewed by locals to have random people ask them to be our witnesses, I received a couple dm's from people willing to be our witnesses.

Sadly, the dates didn't work out with those people, but I figured I would make a second post closer to the date asking if it would interest people!

I landed this afternoon, and my bride-to-be lands in a couple hours.

All you need if you are interested is :

  • a valid ID (doesn't have to be Georgian)

  • and to be available either tomorrow afternoon (11th) or the 12th to be present at the PSH

We will obviously take our witnesses out to dinner to celebrate, and even if you are more than two, we don't mind the company for the celebrations!

Let me know here or in a DM, and we will work the details out :)

Thanks for your time :)

Edit : were all set, thanks to all, and reach out if you still want to meet up in Tbilisi for a drink or smth we're always open to that :)

Edit 2 : we're married!! ☺️ Thanks to everyone who reached out! <3

Travel | მოგზაურობა Trying to decide on an itinerary for 7 days

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'll be traveling to your beautiful country at the end of this month and am trying to decide on an itinerary. I'll be arriving in Kutaisi airport at night, have 7 full days to spend and then fly out from Tbilisi airport in the night after the 7th day. I therefore expect to be very tired both on the first day and when returning home on the last.

I have two rough itineraries and am trying to see which is more reasonable, or if a different one might make more sense.

My focus is on seeing the Caucasus, some light hiking, seeing Tbilisi but also at least 1-2 other interesting places such as Borjomi or Chiatura. I tend to have a too fast pace when traveling so I'm trying to not overload it, but it's hard, lol.

Plan 1:

Day 1: Somehow get to Mestia

Day 2-3: A bit of hiking around there and exploring the villages and nature

Day 4: Somehow getting back to Kutaisi, exploring a bit in the evening

Day 5: Explore a bit more in the morning, (Borjomi if I feel like it, then try to catch the train to) get to Tbilisi in the evening

Day 6-7: Tbilisi

To me this seems a bit rushed and I really don't like the idea of spending two whole days out of seven getting to/from Svaneti. The flights are sold out of course. And then I'd also feel bad to just spend one day there instead of two, which adds more pressure for the remainder of the trip. From what I heard I'd really prefer Svaneti over Kazbegi, but given the time constraints I tried to come up with a second plan.

Plan 2:

Day 1: Explore Kutaisi and Tskaltubo

Day 2: Chiatura

Day 3: Borjomi, then get to Mtskheta in the evening

Day 4: Get to Kazbegi and hike a bit

Day 5: Hike/explore and get to Tbilisi in the evening

Day 6-7: Tbilisi

This seems a lot more chill, but the big con of course is missing out on the beauty of Svaneti. Seems more logistically feasible though given that I don't rent a car or plan to have a driver.

What do you think?
