  1. Tbilisi would lose half its charm without street artist Gosha Art<\/a>. We\u2019ll meet him again more than once.\n<\/li>\n\n
  2. In the courtyard of the Sioni Cathedral.\n<\/li>\n\n
  3. \u201cHere, sell it!\u201d A slightly peeling, but still touching, story of the friendship<\/a> between Valiko and Rubik.\n<\/li>\n\n
  4. This is what an overindulgence in landscape design leads to. People actually walk here, eh!\n<\/li>\n\n
  5. Neglect it, let\u2019s waltz!\n<\/li>\n\n
  6. The glass Bridge of Peace by Italian architect Michele de Lucchi<\/a> is the calling card of the new Tbilisi.\n<\/li>\n\n
  7. People actually work here, eh!\n<\/li>\n\n
  8. It\u2019s delicious.\n<\/li>\n\n
  9. And soulful.\n<\/li>\n\n
  10. Shall we dance?\n<\/li>\n\n
  11. The side facade of the Gabriadze Caf\u00e9.\n<\/li>\n\n
  12. Rezo Gabriadze<\/a>\u2019s tiles on the facade of his Puppet Theatre.\n<\/li>\n\n
  13. For some reason, Cervantes kept silent about this part of the journey.\n<\/li>\n\n
  14. The piano is scarier than the tiger, I checked.\n<\/li>\n\n
  15. Queen Tamar<\/a> by David Matchavariani as an archetype of female power.\n<\/li>\n\n

  18. Basic geometry in the courtyard of the Ceremonial Palace.\n<\/li>\n\n
  19. The magical Brim Hotel.\n<\/li>\n\n
  20. Special respect to Gosha for decorating obviously temporary surfaces like construction fencing.\n<\/li>\n\n

  28. The rest of the country is occupied by the pro-Russian party Georgian Dream, which is painting over protest graffiti.\n<\/li>\n\n
