Currently, I live in Tbilisi, which is the capital city of Georgia. I spend my time here going to the university and hanging out with my friends. I have to admit that this is probably my favorite pastime, as I have friends who moved here with me from Moscow. It is amazing to have some rest and actually have profound conversations about the city and the country overall. I think there are so many places, like gardens and parks, where we can do that.
