Tbilisi: Where Coffee Meets Chaos (and 85% Humidity)

so i just checked and it's...there right now, hope you like that kind of thing. 11.17°c, feels like 10.56°c, humidity making your hair a permanent frizz ball. pressure's 1002, so maybe skip the deep sea diving today. if you get bored, the mountains are just a short drive away. someone told me that the local coffee shop has the best espresso in the city, but i heard another rumor they run out by 11am. *tajikistan is a whole other story, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

gear list for surviving the day:
- waterproof phone case (because that humidity is sneaky)
- light layers (it's chilly, but sweat city later)
- sturdy shoes (those cobblestones are judgmental)
- a sense of humor (essential for navigating local buses)
- cash (many places still hate cards)

where to get your fix:
- coffee: grab a shot at 'the hidden bean' (yelp link: https://www.yelp.com/biz/the-hidden-bean-tbilisi)
- food: try the khachapuri at 'sabura' (tripadvisor link: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurant_Review-g1234567-d1234567-Reviews-Sabura-Tbilisi.html)
- views: hike up to the mtatsminda park (local board link: https://georgianboard.com/tbilisi/mtatsminda-park)

overheard gossip:
- 'the new art gallery? it's just a bunch of old paintings in a basement.'
- 'the river walk? it's nice, but the ducks are aggressive.'
- 'the best sunset spot? it's actually just a parking lot with a view.'
