Re: Okay, I will but first, if you please, can you provide a brief

I can keep repeating Georgia has a colorful culture, but that would be like repeating the word sugar - your tea will not get any sweeter!

The Georgians are Christians, and that puts them at odds with some surrounding Caucus mountains republics, many of which are Muslim.

They have recognizable appearance and facial features - they tend to be tall, slender, dark haired, with large noses and generally are considered beautiful people. That impression is enhanced by their stylish and attractive national costumes - you will have little difficulty finding it through the google.

If one had to come up with a very brief description of their character, that would be hospitable, festive, musical, proud, and long living. There is also a tremendous reverence and respect of the elderly. And there are many elderly people, as their long life is legendary - probably due to the clean moutain air and water, and healthy simple food.

The Georgians are the epitome of hospitality and their festivities are quite special, filled with joy, wonderful music, wine and food, and where every stranger is immediately invited... no... he is dragged in. They claim to be the discoverers of wine and being the first wine producing nation on Earth, and surely drink a lot of it. Their wines are very different from your typical Western European wines, and Patrick was not particularly impressed with them, but I probably did not buy the best available ones either... sorry!

One thing you will always find in their movies is their incredible polyphonic singing, which is, once experienced, unforgettable. It is spontaneous - they simply start and people join the chorus - rich in melodies and wonderfuly emotional. And their dance, if done by good dancers, is both graceful and fiery.

I could go on for long time, but this should be a good primer.
