I wear long underwear at all times

I was walking home from school today with some of my students and the village marshutka comes tearing up the only stretch of asphalt in tchala (about 50 meters) and who is behind the wheel but one of my 7th form students, Giorgi. With a goofy smile and look of unadulterated bliss barely making it past the steering wheel he careens past me and in my absolute shock and disbelief i fail to notice the large puddle to my right. Giorgi hasn't mastered avoiding potholes yet, maybe when he is 13 he'll get the hang of it.


Tchala Secrets: The music teacher once coached a contest on GeoStar, Georgia's equivalent to American Idol.


So I went to Tbilisi for the first time two weekends ago and here is a re-cap:

Tbilisi is drinking glenfiddich on the rocks in a bar called buffalo bills with a Georgian cover band playing dire straits. yeah it was awesome.
