All Jews left = no Jews left?

Should be filed under "Get Out"

Antisemitism actually wasn't much of a thing in Georgia. The main push factors were political instability and economic collapse until the mid-2000s. There are some left in Tbilisi.

Well, there are a lot of Nazis there.

Haven't most Adjarian Muslims abandoned the heathen Muslim religion for the light of Orthodoxy?

Also, thanks for the advice! Khatchipuri house is indeed mediocre.  I haven't run into any other Westerners yet, which I find odd.  I might be the only one left?

Oh, I'm sober. Just incredibly surprised.  This is a town of 20k and someone else on Languish has worked here.

I think the fact that Cal and I lived in the same townof 35k at the same time is more surprising than that two people both lived at some point in a town that has several established programs for adrift foreigners.

Good luck!

I hope you manage to get your students into national English tournaments like I have!

Are there national foreign language tournaments anywhere else than in Korea?
Japan has them.
They're the stupidest things in the world.

In 1991, it was more the case that Adjara had become less Muslim due to migration. There has been a large wave of conversions since, especially among the younger population, but Keda and Khulo are still mostly Muslim.

I can't imagine that you're the only one. 3 years ago, there were Peace Corps, TLG, and European Voluntary Service people there. If EVS is still there, they might still be working at the Euro 2000 Centre in the building just north of the central church (labeled 'Guriis Moambe' on Google Maps). The people at the Educational Resource Centre might also be able to connect you with the Peace Corps.

Why is there no Georgian election mega thread yet, considering that the vote is tomorrow?

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.

Is George the Magnificent running? I think he has good branding.
