โ–ถ๏ธ Here is a mysterious picture from a mysterious country.

This picture was taken in ...
Good job!

๐Ÿ’ก This picture was indeed taken in ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ทGreece. The look of the surroundings is not very specific but there is some writing in the Greek script (=writing system, alphabet). ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฝMexico is a Spanish-speaking country and uses Latin, ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌBulgaria has Cyrillic (=Russian alphabet) and ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑIsrael has their own Hebrew (=the language of Israel) script which looks more boxy (=shaped like a box) and doesnโ€™t resemble (=be similar to) the Latin script at all.
#6 Correct me if you can

โ–ถ๏ธ Please find the mistake in the following sentence:

She doesnโ€™t like dog, she likes cat.

#82 Travelogue Georgia: Ukraine is in Georgia

โ–ถ๏ธ Everyone talks about Ukraine, so letโ€™s do that as well! Many people support Ukraine but what you can see in ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ชGeorgia is really on another level. How come?

A troubled history
Despite being the home country of Stalin, Georgians see themselves as victims of Russian aggression. Thatโ€™s mainly because Russia is controlling the two breakaway republics inside the country โ€“ Abkhasia and Southern Ossetia โ€“ and Georgians see how Russia is trying to do the same in Ukraine.

Wannabe Western
Georgia is somehow in Asia but it feels like Europe and Georgians are eager to join the EU. They are also heavily pro-American. Being against Russia is one way of expressing this. And as in Europe itโ€™s also fashionable to show support for Ukraine even when you donโ€™t care about it deeply.

Funny situation: A random young guy in Tbilisi comes up to us to ask where we are from. So we ask him back and the answer is โ€ฆ? โ€“ โ€œIโ€™m from f***ing Russia.โ€ ๐Ÿ˜ณ
