The main language spoken here is Georgian. It is a unique language with many words I am still learning to pronounce. Garmarjoba means "Hello!" in Georgian. Another language commonly spoken here is Russian. But, the second most spoken language would have to be English.
Georgians use Lari (GEL) and tetri as their currency. Unlike in America, Georgians' currency for one lari is a coin, while our single dollars are bills. Tetri is like cents to us in the United States.
A bottle of water costs .50 tetri here, or $.18 in American dollars. I usually buy my bottles from the same vendor when I walk from my bus stop to class. The two ladies who run it don't speak English, but they now recognize me and hand me my bottle of water when I hand them the .50 tetri.
My best meal I ate this week was a Georgian take on the "American Burger." The burger was a lot less salty and had bbq sauce that tasted almost like chocolate. It was surpsing to me, yet oddly delcious.
