Description
There are many countries in the world I've only just heard about, and many will probably remain unknown to me for the rest of my life. It is not countries of the mind that I am speaking about, or of dreams, but real countries, with national anthems, constitutions, and capitals. If it hadn't been for an invitation I received in June 1999 to interpret at an international seminar on higher education, the Republic of Georgia would have remained an unknown site on my personal globe. As I prepared for my trip, Georgia suddenly became real to me. I searched Web sites trying to find out something about this land that I wasn't even sure was in Europe. After my Georgian experience, I will certainly always remember it. Coming to Georgia was an interesting event in itself. Arriving at the Tbilisi airport, one notices a strange mixture of the new and the old, and it becomes even more obvious on the road to Tbilisi, the capital. We passed many petrol stations, some of them nice and modern and others that were remnants of the Soviet era. The difference between them was even more striking when they were located one next to the other.
