So besides dealing with Staff in the Hospitality industry, I also dealt with Businesses and Governmental people. The best part with dealing with Businesses was generally one would end up eating, drinking (too much), and toasting every few minutes. The toasts would be in praise of the older generation to the children and future generation, which to me, shows how they value their people and the respect they bestow on each other.
Glad to see I'm not the only one that found Georgians exceedingly hospitable. More the reason to go back one day.
