    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 🤓

    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!

    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.

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.

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.

    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.

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.
