About Us






                                            






I am from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States of America. The population is the same as Tbilisi, about 1,8 million. It is about 350 years old. It is a very important city in the history of my country. It was the place where our ancestors declared their independence from Britain in 1776. Also, it was the first capital of the United States. In Philadelphia, there are many different ethnic neighborhoods, including an Italian neighborhood (Little Italy), a Chinese neighborhood (Chinatown), a Korean neighborhood (K-Town), and a Vietnamese neighborhood (Little Saigon). We have a hockey team (Philadelphia Flyers), an American football team (Philadelphia Eagles), a basketball team (Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers) and a football team (Philadelphia Union). People from Philadelphia are known to be very kind and welcoming to visitors, but also very proud of their city and its traditions. It is a very exciting city, with many restaurants, bars and clubs. Also, there is lots of “green space” – large parks where people can go walking, have picnics, play sports, or simply enjoy nature. So, you can see there are many things to do and see while you are in Philadelphia, so please come and visit! You will not regret your decision.

MY CITY

    Kutaisi


The Cathedral of the Dormition, or the Kutaisi Cathedral, more commonly known as Bagrati Cathedral (Georgian: ბაგრატი; ბაგრატის ტაძარი, or Bagratis tadzari), is the 11th-century cathedral church in the city of Kutaisi, the region of Imereti, Georgia. ...

     Kutaisi is located along both banks of the Rioni River.     The city lies at an elevation of 125-300 meters (410-984 feet) above sea level. To the east and northeast, Kutaisi is bounded by the Northern Imereti Foothills, to the north by the Samgurali Range, and to the west and the south by the Colchis Plain.


    Kutaisi was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Colchis. Archeological evidence indicates that the city functioned as the capital of the kingdom of Colchis as early as the second millennium BC

Several historians believe that in Argonautica, a Greek epic poem about Jasonand the Argonauts and their journey to ColchisApollonius Rhodius, the author, considered Kutaisi their final destination and the residence of King Aeëtes. From 978 to 1122 CE, Kutaisi was the capital of the united Kingdom of Georgia, and from the 15th century until 1810 it was the capital of the Imeretian Kingdom.
