This and that
I did go to Davit Gareja (crazy cave city on the border with Azerbaijan) and it was really fun. I went with Paul and his brother who was visiting from the states. It was a good time. The highlights include finding a snake, trying to sweetalk the border guards into letting us into Azerbaijan, and missing a major fresco. A good time was had by all.
My fridge is officially moved into my apartment and i have been doing copious amounts of arts and crafts to make my place look, well, more crafty. I painted my fridge, made some drawings, and fashioned a lamp out of plaster, a balloon, and some yarn. One of my Georgian friends saw my handy work and is insisting that I show her how to make lamps. So I am going to set up a Georgian lamp making factory and i think a bunch of neighbors are gonna come because they all seem to be mystified by my crazy string lamp. The real question remains whether my lamp will burst into flames when placed near a bulb. These are things i will find out soon enough though!
I still have guests. my apartment has turned into some sort of peace corps hostel. It is pretty cool though, cause i haven't been lonely since i moved in. It's because i'm so close to Tbilisi (Tiflis) and it is cheap/free to stay with me. It's like staying at an expat's house...only shittier.
School is going really well. I had a specialist watch me teach last week and she said that i was a good teacher. Unfortunately I don't know grammar. But, eh? what can you do? Study?! NEVER. I also received my spa grant and my english cabinet will be underway this summer. Doing an english cabinet is so lame. But i don't care. My school is going to have a sweet dvd player, a tv, DVD's (which i will steal and watch at home...or rather borrow), and a ton of books. Consequently, this also means that I am off the hook with my school for a good 3 months or so. I can just rest easy.
I hope to go to Batumi (batum) soon and soak up some rays. But, megoni, i have to wait until Kvemo Kartli's regional eco camp is finished.
That's all for now. I really will put pictures up later today.
