TBILISI - CAPITAL OF GEORGIA

摘要

One of the fun things about travelling is that one meets so many interesting people from all over the world and that provides the perfect excuse to visit yet more far-flung destinations.Seven years ago I met Niko, a young architect from Georgia who was working with an Indian firm of Architects in South Calcutta for a year and somehow we struck up a firm friendship. A country about the size of Holland with a population of under 4 million and poised on the edge of the Black Sea, Georgia began to tickle my imagination. Later Niko was working in Istanbul where I visited him (my readers may remember) and then he worked in Milan for several years. But he was always asking me to visit his homeland, and since he has now set up his own Architectural practice in Tbilisi and is based there, I decide to go and explore.
