- Tbilisi can be very different
In this video we'll explore the narrow streets of Old Tbilisi with a local resident Nana. She knows everyone and everyone knows her.
We'll do a house tour and walk the streets

As a CZcamsr, I don't often watch 30-minute videos that aren't about... CZcams, or are directly in my niche. But I just couldn't put this one down! There is something magical about two multilingual women, in their retirement, living the best life in a historic old city, full of endearing stories. Your visit will now be added to the collection 🥰 I have so much to comment on the specific parts, but I'll just leave it at that - maybe until the time you visit us here in the PNW and make a video just like this one 🤓
Thank you. I agree. I'm sure Nana has lots of stories to tell. I enjoyed the visit!
@@RussianPlus So the tribe have been pushing multiculturalism since before the revolution?... Wow. The Austrian painter was right. The criticism of Sakashvili as camouflage but with the complaint that he wasn't 'liberal' enough is some impressive chutzpah
This video is so random but at the same time so interesting, gives a very cozy and alternative feeling of the city, which is getting lost nowadays with stereotypical touristic vlogs. Again, very great storytelling. Teach other vlogger kiddos how great content is created. And, the ladies are just awesome. This is exactly a true Tbilisi Vibes! Keep it UP. Georgia - country of endless gem discoveries!
It was random you’re absolutely right . I’m very glad I met these ladies😊
This is a precious story. I love the friendship between Nana and Janice, and how they met. If a person is going to have friends, they must show themselves friendly, truth. "A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." Proverbs 18:24 Nana gained a good friend by going out and being friendly. And Janice, by responding has gained a wealth of experience and insight into Tbilisi.
She speaks some of the nicest sounding Russian I have heard in a while.
To have that one friend that understands you completely is literally winning the soulmates lottery. Thank you for your interesting yet unique videos
Wonderful !! Unlike so many of the commercial travel vlogs, this one was was just like visiting old long-lost friends, or relatives that one hasn't seen in a long time . Very comfortable; almost nostalgic ! I Love Old Tbilisi !!!
thank you. it’s true
How awesome! Everyone needs a Nanna. Beautiful area and architecture. Thanks for sharing!
These ladies are so delightful. I would love to have a coffee ☕️ with them myself! Loved this 🥰
i hope the Georgian government will preserve historic places like this, they got great culture, and old buildings should be heritage listed. It is very beautiful. The culture and arts and people tell a story. This is what tourists and the world want to see. History is very important tool
Absolutely beautiful vlog. It is rich in history and full of character.
Very good reporting from Old Tbilisi , about two wonderful women living happily and free. They also speak English which make it easy for us to understand the history and the anecdote of their family past from this old building , that is full of life.Thank You!
Slava to Janice..."What made you decide to go to Georgia?" "I got on the wrong bus." LOL! so funny. Nana and Janice are so funny. 😅🤣😂 Nice tour of the neighborhood.
I think Mtatsminda-Sololaki is where you can feel the real Tbilisi vibes but it's often overlooked by vloggers and I'm glad that you've explored this side of Tbilisi.
Nana has a kind of elegance, graciousness and, yes, class which are all too extinct these days. I feel honored to have spent time with her... even in a video.
I love the old house. How wonderful to be able to live there. I enjoyed seeing Old Tbilisi through your walking tour and the two women were delightful.
OMG In all seriousness I'm tempted to drop everything and find a place close by these wonderful ladies. I'm 65 and retired business owner. For the last 3 years looking for another country to retire in where my money will always be more than my purchased needs with enough extra that I can afford lo leave the house now and then to see a play or sight see. I have what 40 years ago would afford me a quite comfortable retirement. Today? Not hardly .
Slava your content deserves way more views. It's very positive in such tough times
appreciate that
As usual, brilliant editing, Nana is a national treasure.
indeed she is!
Really a delightful video! These two ladies are so kind and I can understand why the American lady left her country. Georgia is a friendly country full of history, just like the house you visited. Moreover its beauty is stunning ad it is also very affordable and this makes the difference. Anyway this old district of Tiblisi is charming and its old Georgian houses awesome. Thank you for sharing your adventure in Georgia.
I love Tbilisi , im from Brazil living here in Tbilisi.
Nana is an amazing lady speaking perfect English. I was can relate to what Janice said about it being too expensive to live in her own country. It's the same here in my country, England, where costs have spiralled out of control. I could happily live in that area of Georgia and I absolutely loved the old buildings and town.
That an amazing woman Nana is. What an interesting life way she has. and have interesting history of her family.

Slava, this trip is really one of your best. The Georgians are so lovable and their country is so beautiful. I could have watched for hours.
I would totally love to visit those ladies! I would learn a lot and never want to go home.
I just love Nana! thank you for posting this video!
Thank you for making the world a better place by giving these women, this country, and this neighborhood, the ability to show their lives and tell some stories. I wish everyone in the world could see how we all are the same. Thank you a million times.
SLAVA, this was one of your best. Nana is a treasure and hearing her and Janice's stories are wonderful. I totally understand Janice. I am an expat living abroad teaching and soon will move to another country after retiring from Korea.
Thank you very much
An Anker sewing machine 🙂 Good old german machine engineering. Nice and interesting conversations. Yes, I agree, speaking or even showing to learn the language of the foreign country it opens doors. I like to see when you are able directly from the farmer or at least a trader and not in supermarkets even there is mostly cheaper but I like to support locals. I like when people preserve such old things. For them its priceless and part of their life. What a great video. Thanks
Very beautiful old town though many buildings were almost falling down. Nana is an interesting lady. Glad she & Janice are friends. Enjoyed thanks
Nana is such a cool person!
These ladies are amazing. I didn't see this coming from Tbilisi. I pictured myself in that apartment in a cold winter night with some delicious Georgian food and a bottle of wine on the table. After supper grab some coffee (turkish coffee preferably) and wine and gather around the fire and just let the conversation flow. Fascinating stories that date from the time of the soviet union, then to its collapse and finally to the modern days. Alot to tell and I would never get enough of it.
Amazing!
Fascinating video.
So interesting to see the house and to hear this well educated and intelligent lady speak. Such life experience. So many interesting things to tell.
Georgia looks interesting and well worth exploring as a traveller. Hopefully not ruined by mass tourism.
Fascinating video. Thanks.
Greetings from Northern Ireland 🇬🇧
I've seen those exact same sugar mound cutters @5:19 in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iran & Turkey. They probably exist in many parts of the Levant also. I wish more young people in the region knew about these things.
Excellent, one of the best I have seen, the presenter is humble, respectful and authentic. I will enjoy watching the rest of his videos, very glad to have found his channel.
Yes I would live there! It was beautiful. Totally different experience than living in Russia / Ukraine like I did in the 1990s. I always loved Georgia and the Georgian culture. I appreciate her comment about the Georgian transition into Christianity. I remember in Moscow, my Georgian friends were proud of their Christianity of their family for hundreds of years. Delightful lady!
Nana's grandmother sounds like mine: a Georgian princess (for real!) I've heard the name Tblisi since I was a young child, and I'm so happy to be able to watch your videos from there. This one caused me to reflect on my grandmother's life and what it would have been like if her family had stayed there instead of escaping during the Revolution.
Your best video yet 👍
Great video. Janice and Slava should do more videos. Love from Saudi Arabia 🙌🏽
This is such a glorious video, I want to see it for the second time :)) Those two ladies are very funny: D I think they have a great live in this age
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this! Would love to hang out with those ladies!! Love from Slovakia 🤗❤
Thanks, Slava. What a cool place. I'd like to visit there -- and go for walks and drink coffee with Nana and Janice. How did you meet them? I'm guessing you met Janice first and she introduced you to Nana. I love Nana's home. I love the curved arches and the fireplace especially. I've been wanting to try making Turkish coffee. I like strong coffee. Lena has a coffee maker like that. I saw it when you made a video of your apartment. Good to see you again. Keep up the good work.
that was awesome..i loved doing this in small cities in Russia.. even the villages. here i would get lost and be happy forever. nothing better then seeing architecture of old and then having a person with who knows thw area who can really open ones heart and eyes.. thank you Slava for another awesome video. my heart just aches because i can't be there. Take care be safe have fun.
thank you very much Gary.
Nice. Really enjoyed it. Yup, Nana is something! So are you!
Glad that you are making these videos. Love seeing the inside of houses like this!
well done, Slava, you seem to have a knack for finding interesting people to interview (reminds me of some of the folk in your U.S. tour)
Thank you Slava for this delightful video. Nana is very intelligent and informative. The neighborhoods are so interesting. The home is a small museum of Georgian life. So cool.
This video is absolutely charming...and Nana is wonderful! What a beautiful home and neighborhood. I am so curious to visit someday!
I love this video, so captivating. Thanks, Slava, you make such interesting travel videos!
wow man where did you find those interesting people. love your videos.
I really enjoyed this video very much. 👍👍
I spent a month in Moldova...I always wanted to go back to that part of the world. So nice.
This video is about Georgia
@@berlingolingoful You consider these countries as one region. No, Georgia is completely different. He is in the Caucasus
@@berlingolingoful :))) It is clear now.
Thank you for this visit of Old Tbilissi Slava
I like this vlog genre , if i can call it now , very much. The way Russian vloggers are coming and settling in Ex Soviet countries and actually turning the spotlight on the people of these places , their lives is really admirable. Lot of the citizens of these countries have lot of grievance towards Russia even though they did not feel any animosity towards Russian people in general. Decades of conflict and repression has made them bitter. These vlogs are small tokens of love by Russians to them in this time of war. I wish more and more open minded Russians settle in ex USSR countries and tell the stories of people there. People who are sandwiched between big powers and big egos.
thank you
This is Amazing ❤️.
Georgia is clean, has friendly people and perfect tropical weather.
I hope you will upload more videos like this Slava, because your country series videos are some of the very best on CZcams.
Thanks ❤️
Love from India.
Thank you, I will
We have 14 weather zones.
The Amazon Jungle is Tropical. Georgia's Black Sea coast is Sub-Tropical. There's a Big difference.
This was an intriguing video and different. In America we call this a “human interest story.” Nana and Janice are charming ladies who live in a charming neighborhood. How did you happen to meet these women, Slava? Just by walking around?
Hey Harry thank you. having a lot of subscribers really helps:)
Lol. Very thoughtful response there
I heard he picked them up in a bar down by the river.
@@songsbydaniel I think he's just saying they reached out to him from seeing his channel.
@@YanasooSibarah okay, my bad. I see that now.
Very beautiful and nice people that you meet.
Looks like a wonderful place to live! 😊
Slava, I love how you combine history, geography, and human interest in your fascinating videos! I love that old sewing machine. It looks like it has a hand crank. When I was a boy, my mother had a 1920s-era Singer sewing machine powered by a foot treadle. Those old manual machines give you much finer control than the modern electric machines.
Loved this one. Very interesting and beautiful.
Interesting Angle, great video, beautiful intelligent ladies - wonderful film watched as a movie.
Hey Slava! 👋
What a delightful video! What a gracious host. A lot of history and unique perspectives about past and present times. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it Jose!
I want to move to Georgia after all these videos. Amazing job 🔥and incredible country 👍
Wow. I love history and family stories like that. My kind of video. Good job Russky Plus!
Good job, Russky Plus, indeed!
Wonderful channel. I am American and very much enjoy watching your channel and those of some other Russian CZcamsrs. I am a subscriber and have clicked the Notifications Bell. Keep up the Great work and Thank You.
Great video had me hooked
Good to see and hear from you again from your video’s
Heck yeah, I would live there!
Fantastic video, Slava. enjoyed your visit with the ladies.
Many thanks!
I love seeing the places you take us. thank you
I enjoy watching your videos. I wish Russian-American relationship were better so you could travel more often to the USA. I was in Tbilisi once back in 1980s. It was very different from all the cities I was familiar with in Western part of Russia, Belorussia and Ukraine. Remember I was feeling I came to a foreign country - architecture of houses was different, people were speaking Georgian, palm trees, mountains. Also I feel sorry for Janice because she can't afford comfortable living in her own country -the United States. I came to the USA speaking very little English but had been working hard before starting making decent wages and investing money. Hope to visit Georgia and neighboring Armenia and Azerbaijan some day.
Sololaki district at the end 😍
Slava, the secretariat writing desk mentioned; in England we would refer to it as an 'antique bureau'. The Edwardian and Victorian cabinet makers, made great furniture like this but I think the bureau in your video is very Turkish influenced - I could be wrong ! Many thanks for a very interesting video. Cheers from England 🙂
In USA we had my great-grandfather’s Secretary, as we called it. It’s like a small writing desk in mahogany wood. My nephew has it now.
Very interesting. I enjoyed seeing how others live. Thanks for the Tour
really nice video, not much videos like such detailed
I always wondered how are you always getting in touch with all these people :D Good job!! Wonderful ladies!
Good question! Just like I met you guys. Having a lot of subscribers definitely helps. Thank you Mish & Ti !
Fantastic video you amaze me each time who you meet and interview. Nana right on presidents like Saakashvili ,but Mark Twin said it best “Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason.”
She's absolutely right. Look at Russia..
Beautiful lady beautiful home.
Thanks for this informative video on Georgia 🇬🇪.
What a great video - thanks for posting!
Another Awesome and rich Content.
lovely house, lovely ladies. Enjoyed the video!
I am so happy to see these things thank you 😊
Do more videos like this please 👍
Love Nana and Janice. Will be coming next week and hope to met these beautiful ladies. Like Janice I am a retired USA citizen but can not afford to live there on my small pension. Love Old Tbilisi. Thanks for the Tour.💜💜
Slava can make that happen, I'm sure.😊
@@zenabby1 💜
0:15 Slava, I see what you did there (graffiti) :). Продолжай в том же духе! Greetings from Poland. :)
i had hoped you made it out safely! so glad
Slava I liked your this video. Old is gold you showed that. Nana and Janice are really wonderful ladies. I will visit Georgia.
It's interesting she says this used to be an Armenian neighbourhood at 28:30. Did most of the Armenians of Tbilisi emigrate out of the country, especially the rich Armenians?

This is a delightful video!
Very interesting topic, well done. Keep it up.
Keep the film making going Slav I love them Howard, Manchester uk
How interesting!
Excellent show ! Thank You !
Yes, I would live there. I have actually considered it recently.

like the lady say “I get wrong bus.” I have to turn on subtitles to make sure what she said.
We had eyecups like that when I was a kid in USA. We diluted boric acid, 1/4 tsp per cup, to wash out our eyes if we had pink eye.
Acid, I have hard enough putting water / dropping water in my eyes never mind diluted acid :)
@@markkelly9095 It’s very mild when diluted.
@@sherrillwhately7586 it might be but think u missed point my eye won't let water go in never mind other things ;)
@@markkelly9095 We had to take our daily cod liver oil and blackstrap molasses too.
These are great vids,,,,,
Beautiful country visited last year…
