Fresh produce at the market near Dinamo Arena/Station Square metro station. One of the definitive features of Georgia is its extremely fresh produce that I feel is unrivalled


The fresh, gigantic pomegranates of Georgia. Coming from Istanbul, I felt these were a lot more attractive.


One of the specialties of Georgia, its plum sauce. The green bottles are supposedly more sour (made from unripe plums). I bought a bottle back.


Truckloads of potatoes by farmers at the market. Totally the antithesis of Latvia (if you are a fan of Latvian jokes with potatoes)


Berries and walnuts, all local produce of Georgia. Some churchkhela can be seen as well. Churchkhela is made with walnuts dipped in concentrated grape juice that dries as a gelation-like coating around the nuts, also another local delicacy.


one of the many streets of Tbilisi


in the middle of Old Tbilisi




through the windows of the cable car up to Narikala Fortress


Freedom Square in the day, which is also a giant roundabout comparable to Ben Thanh roundabout in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam


Freedom Square by night. It reminds me that Georgia was part of the Soviet Union, with displays of grandeur yet dilapidated buses (although a good majority are well-maintained/new)
