#1 Tbilisi, the capital, is wonderful
#2 There is a delicious salad of tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions and a truly scrumptious walnut dressing. Georgians must eat a huge amount of walnuts
#3 The Georgian script is crazy looking (looks a bit like Thai script)
#4 Mountainous landscape so there’s lots of skiing resorts in the north
#5 Georgians grow grapes so there’s more delicious red wine than even I can drink
#6 Most people, especially in Tbilisi, are terribly stylish – and wear really nice shoes
#7 There’s a petrol station called Gulf that sells ‘G Force’ petrol – which fans of ‘Battle of the Planets’ will appreciate
#8 Batumi, which is a Black Sea costal town, is gorgeous
#9 Feels really European
#10 Lots of the houses, in the countryside and in the towns, have ornate verandas or balconies
#11 Loads of cabbages and persimmons
#12 I LOVE Georgia
