Spot on. I loved the place, especially the people. No tourist (save for Russians) hordes and I never encountered anyone resembling a sex tourist. Tbilisi is also a beautiful city. Check out Batumi for the discount-Russian-scene on the Black Sea coast. Only downsides for me are; somewhat conservative culture and too many Russkies flooding the place and driving up prices. They recently re-opened the border with Russia and the place is very popular with Russian tourists. What that means is that hotels are full in the summer and prices are up. On the really positive side - I never received anything less than a friendly reception wherever I went. Compared to the "indifference" of the Ukraine and the "hardness" of Russia, it almost feels Latin. If one were to put in the time to get established, I have no question that the place would great to live as a single man from the west. Moldovan girls I found to be hotter and easier. Vorkuta, you concur?
I concur entirely.
Georgians I found to be the friendliest people I have ever met on all my travels,I can't speak highly enough of my encounters with them. I'd ask for directions on a street and instead of pointing or explaining they would escort me personally to where I was heading to make sure I got there even though it was the opposite direction to where they were heading. I boarded a marshrutka for a 6 hour drive to Zugdidi and when after a few miles they realised I was English they insisted on moving me up to the most comfortable seat by the driver and force feeding me food all the way,incredibly warm and hospitable people,even the taxi drivers were honest to a fault and never tried to price gauge me.
I had few expectations when I flew in but the few I had were surpassed by what I saw. The city ( for those that have not been ) is basically run down Soviet with a Caucus slant. It's a hilly city with old cobblestone streets and a river running through it. The main bar area has been heavily invested in and is spectacular at night with the castle lit up and the river bank buildings done up. There are open air cafes and piazzas,quirky art galleries,cheap eateries,expensive bars everything you could want, a really cool place to hang out. It feels unlike anywhere else I have been in the FSU. The vibe is super chilled,nothing like Moscow or Kiev etc,there is no comparison in terms of the people or place.
The women are mostly dark brunette,not too tall. Friendly,good English,educated but more conservative then Slavs,less attractive too in my opinion. I don't remember seeing any super stunners but plenty of pretty girls to target. Can't imagine too many SNL's happen down there and would think that social circle game is king. Hence as Lost Gringo pointed out,if you moved there for a few months,enrolled in a language school or something you would have a lot of fun with the women. Maybe not in huge quantities like in some places but with fun and friendly girls who are easier to get on with and have a good time with then other FSU girls further north. This is just my take but I think Tbilisi would be a fantastic option for the type of guys on here who don't necessarily seek a huge number of lays but instead like the idea of heading off somewhere for a few months and having a mini relationship or two with some nice girls who are fun to be with. If that is your thing then put Tbilisi on your to do list.
The other good things about relocating to Georgia/Tbilisi is mild weather,good food,a nice coast for weekend breaks and partying,high levels of English amongst target age group,very few Western tourists,cheap prices and amazingly the 365 day visa free entry rule!! Who else gives you 365 entry without a visa??!
I shall certainly return to Georgia.
