A discussion in English of the week in Georgia (the one near Chechnya not the one near Alabama) Don't know what a podcast is? Don't worry, just click on it and listen. კეთილი იყოს თქვენი მობრძანება! თუ ინგლისური იცით, დააჭირეთ ისარს და მოისმინეთ კვირის საინტერესო ამბები
Don't know what a podcast is? Don't worry, just click on it and listen. That's it. Nothing scary about it.
კეთილი იყოს თქვენი მობრძანება! თუ ინგლისური იცით, დააჭირეთ ისარს და მოისმინეთ კვირის საინტერესო ამბები.
the hagia sophia is not a mosque, it was converted by ataturk into a museum
get your smart ass back on the podcast! Come on, you can join them with skype or smthn
my new years wish from tblpod: i read thomas de waal’s “the caucasus, an introduction”. there is a detail i disagree with that awould merit debate tblpod. de waal claims the rose was a sign of the protests on 2003 that misha then adopted. i witnessed the protests the rose appeared outside of parliament once misha used it when barging into the chamber. my proposal for a discussion: where did the rose come from?
The rose is shrouded in myths. Charles King in his “Ghosts of Freedom” assumes roses weere given to troops guarding government buidlings. Did anybody witness that? Are there photos of this around?
For those with access to scholarly journals and interested in food safety in Georgia – I recommend this article by Elizabeth Dunn:
