Grown up Edition
This city, this country, this people fascinate me. Crossroad between East and West, between the communist world and the capitalist one, Christian surrounded by Islam, so old yet so new, harsh yet welcoming, stubbornly surviving against all odds. Astvadz bahé!
Astvadz pahe, indeed... I never really truly felt about my own country this way until I went away, and only then, on foreign soil, looking at it from far away I could finally see it, admire it, long for it and miss it like I wouldn't miss anything else...
