You can gues which one.

Spending a year there.  Teaching English.   Going to apply to PhD programs.  Wish me luck.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Yeah, QuQu just remember to talk real slow and real loud, you should then do fine; but don't, whatever you do, mention the war (internal).

I'll buy you a Dawgs jersey to help you blend in.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

You might want to learn some russian so you can explain to the soldiers that you are not the enemy when they move into tblisi.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Georgia (US State) is a great place to live. :)

Teach and Learn with Georgia, or did you make your own arrangements?

I spent two years in Georgia (2011-13) as a Peace Corps volunteer and knew several TLGs--it's the most popular English teaching program. From what I recall, their Georgian language training wasn't the best. I have no idea whether it's improved since. Pm me your e-mail and I can send you the Peace Corps language textbook.

Why Georgia? Did you meet a pretty Georgian girl or some,thing?
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
