    Thank you Sir! I think it is a very important and amazing content and I'm really waiting for the next videos. Your ''angle of view'' on Sakartvelo is more than interesting as will be your library, so good luck on that !

      ძალიან დიდი მადლობა! I try to learn and to give. And Georgians have much to give. And they have been quite open to good conversations as well. Now I just have to get my library here. And we will see what happens after that!

    First of all, what an ending, love it. Reminded me of my dad's wedding videos.
    Interesting distinctions, in music across the Arab world. Makes sense.
    To connect the former, and the latter is Georgia, a culmination of the islamic and jewish world, as I get sense from that wedding video, there is chaos within the harmony. Like, a happy ending of an old western, Is accurate at all?
    PS: Lovely, photography of the Haines mountain, made me wanna jump in there. Also, as you mentioned, can one get by with English in Georgia, I know this seems like a stupid question, as you have there for past few years, but how much Georgian does one need to learn, before diving in let's say?
    Thank you for all good Sir, your channel has been a blessing this past year.

      Thank you for your kind words Vimal. I am guessing from your name that your are probably Indian, or of Indian ancestry. Interestingly there are about 20,000 Indians here in Tbilisi. Most of them are medical students. And mostly speak English. This does cause a few stereotypes among the Georgians about Indians. (And you can find Indian food here!) But I've never heard of any real tension as a result. So yes you can get along in English. I do. But I also speak what I call survival Georgian. Which I will soon make a video about. The basic words you should learn to get around in the country.
      Most people under the age of 30 know some English, they learn it school. Over the age of 40 they know Russian more. But when you first come here it is quite confusing at times.
      There used to be more Jews here until the end of the Soviet Union, when many went to Israel. But I wouldn't say that the Jewish culture has a big influence here. It has been a Christian country from before the time of Islam. And it's music doesn't sound that much like Jewish music. Watch my video here An Introduction to Georgian Music for the an hour long study in the music.
      I know I have been slow lately, but I have more videos come out soon. I think you'll enjoy them.
