I was speaking to a Georgian waiter at a Ukrainian restaurant here in San Diego, CA and asked him why he left Georgia. He remarked it was because of the old Soviet-style corruption which makes it difficult to get ahead on merit alone. You mentioned the wealth disparity and hope you will discuss corruption in your next part. It seems exotic and I like your “living fossil” description.

Excellent travelogue, I really enjoyed the read and how you have interwoven the personal, subjective recounting of the trip with historical facts and geopolitical analysis. You should travel more. :)
