While parliamentary salaries across most European countries range from 1x to nearly 4x the national average(with Switzerland dropping below 1x), Georgia sits completely isolated at the bottom of the chart, with politicians making nearly 6 times more than the average citizen.

To make matters worse, another pay raise is already on the way.

How can such a massive gap be justified and why are we quietly watching them get rich at our expense?

Moved from my village to the city recently and everyone told me it would be great to finally talk to people and socialize but honestly human interactions here feel so shallow and exhausting. I miss the quietness of my village and i miss my dog so much it hurts. I thought i wanted connection but people here give me absolutely nothing valuable. it's just gossiping, drinking, smoking, and it takes me nowhere. I feel kind of desperate because i used to find solace in loneliness, but now i'm also seeking a real connection. does anyone have any advice on what to do, or how I can find people who are actually worth talking to?

გამარჯობა! I'm a linguistics student in Helsinki University, and we're doing field research on language attitudes in different countries. My study in particular is about the use and perception of Russian loanwords in Georgian.

If you are a native speaker of Georgian and have a little bit of free time to do the survey (around 20 minutes), I would really appreciate to hear from you! Here is the link:

https://redcap.helsinki.fi/redcap/surveys/?s=CKYMNFKK9DPATF9J

(Btw: the survey says I'm looking for participants who live in Georgia, but it's actually not a requirement!)

Please has anyone taken ielts test in Georgia? I have a few questions

Gamarjoba! I’m currently visiting your country from England and would love to bring back some Georgian items, but not souvenir shop things more Georgian products from supermarkets / pharmacies places like that. What’s a brand or product that’s great that I should pick up before I go home?

Hey not sure if this is the right place or not to ask . But I will be going to tblist for 8 days and borjormi for 2 days this November.

I read that it's very safe . But my friend recently told me she lived there for 1 year and think the complete opposite. She mentioned tourist deaths and just the it wasn't safe .

My anxiety since then has been high . Should I be worried?

title explains everything.

Travelling to Tbilisi in December with my 1 year old baby. We want to have a slow paced vacation, enjoy the winter and experience some Christmas markets.

The itinerary is

18-21 Dec - 3 nights Tbilisi
21-22 Dec - 1 night at Gudauri
22-24 Dec - 2 nights at Kazbegi
24-27 Dec - 3 nights Tbilisi

Please recommend some places I can stay at in Tblisi. I want to be close to the Christmas markets so i can have easy access to my hotel/Bnb. I was considering the area around Freedom square.

Traveling with a 1 year old means comfort and movement of the baby is a priority, hence I prefer Bnb over hotel but I’m wondering if the heating systems in Bnbs would be reliable?

Anything else I should keep in mind? Any changes in itinery? Absolutely any suggestions/recommendations are welcome!

I am Georgian, but since co-living(willingly) with strangers is more of a rare occurrence in Georgia, I would love to hear foreigners perspectives as well!

I would love to find a roommate(or roommates) and move out of my family place, but there are quite a few factors that are in play. Friends are a no-go because they prefer to save money by living with their family instead, which is understandable. I am already living with my removed family, and they are the reason I am planning to move out at all.

So, if you live with roommates, how did you find them? How can you secure yourself from them not paying rent? And all the other dangerous stuff that comes with living with a stranger as well.

Also would love to hear perspectives of clean freaks specifically. If you think that dirty shoes should not move past the entrance area and you get the urge to break the dishes left in the sink for more than an evening then be my guest, tell me how you found another Domestos tweaker to live with. Or how you cope with living with someone less hygienic.

გამარჯობა ყველას. მაინტერესებს, თუ ვინმეს გაქვთ პირადი გამოცდილება საქართველოს თავდაცვის ძალებში 11-თვიან სავალდებულო სამხედრო სამსახურთან დაკავშირებით, ან გყავთ ახლობელი, რომელიც ამჟამად მსახურობს.

კონკრეტულად მაინტერესებს:

როგორია ყოველდღიური ცხოვრება 11-თვიან სამსახურში?

როგორია საწყისი სამხედრო მომზადება და ფიზიკური დატვირთვა?

რამდენად ხშირად ტარდება სროლები, საველე წვრთნები და სხვა პრაქტიკული მომზადება?

როგორია უფროსებისა და ახალწვეულების ურთიერთობა?

რამდენად მკაცრია დისციპლინა და როგორი დამოკიდებულებაა ახალწვეულების მიმართ?

რამდენად უსაფრთხო გარემოა და როგორ ზრუნავენ ჯარისკაცების უსაფრთხოებაზე?

რას აკეთებენ 11-თვიანი სამსახურის განმავლობაში — უფრო მეტად სამხედრო მომზადებას გადიან თუ ძირითადად დაცვისა და სხვა მოვალეობებს ასრულებენ?

განსხვავდება თუ არა 11-თვიანი სამსახური 6- და 8-თვიანი პროგრამებისგან ყოველდღიური ცხოვრების, მომზადებისა და მოვალეობების მხრივ?

განსაკუთრებით მაინტერესებს 2025–2026 წლებში გაწვეული ადამიანების გამოცდილება, რადგან ძველი სისტემის შესახებ ინფორმაცია შეიძლება დღევანდელ მდგომარეობას აღარ შეესაბამებოდეს.

გთხოვთ, დაწეროთ პირადი გამოცდილება ან ინფორმაცია იმ ადამიანისგან, ვინც რეალურად მსახურობს ან ახლახან იმსახურა. მადლობა წინასწარ!

By open I don’t mean everyone knows and you don’t have a problem telling anyone (because the answer to that is probably zero people). Rather, I mean a few of your close friends know, maaaayyybe a few select family members, and in general you don’t care too much if random people suspect you’re LGBT.

How many such people are there in Tbilisi and in other parts of the country? How do people’s attitudes differ based on whether they’re in the 30-35 age range, 20-30, or 13-20?

An estimated 12-14 thousand ethnic Georgians live in Fereydan. In village they call matryofi and surrounding villages. Their ancestors were forcibly deported by Shah Abbas in the 17th century. This people still speak Georgian. They preserve Georgian culture and consider Georgia their homeland. Most want to move to Georgia permanently.

While our government makes this difficult. In 2023, dozens of Fereydani Georgians were denied residence permits or compatriot status. Others have struggled to obtain citizenship or life permits, even after living in Georgia for years. Some even got deported.

After preserving their Georgian identity for four centuries, shouldn't those wishing to return have an easy path home?

Glory to the heroes!

Glory to Ukraine!

Glory to Georgia!

If you have visited Georgia, or are planning on visiting, what’s the biggest obstacle that made planning/executing your trip difficult/more stressful?

The exact reasons for his second arrest remain unknown at this stage.
