Black sand beach

Ureki black sand is a unique type of sand found on the shores of Ureki, a beach town on the Black Sea coast of Georgia. The sand is of volcanic origin and is black in color due to the presence of iron, titanium, and other minerals. The negative ions present in the sand are said to have a calming effect and can be beneficial for people with respiratory problems, allergies, and skin diseases. Many resorts and hotels in the area offer treatments and therapies using Ureki black sand. Apart from its healing properties, Ureki black sand is also a popular tourist attraction due to its striking black color and the beautiful scenery of the Black Sea coast.

Zugdidi, Georgia in 1999 was a town that was home to a significant number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who fled to the town seeking shelter and assistance during the fighting in Abkhazia in 1998. Most of these refugees took shelter in schools and other public buildings, while some were housed in collective centres that were opened by the authorities in and around Zugdidi. The local community in Georgia shared their homes, food, heating fuel, and other resources to accommodate the refugees. It is estimated that there were between 40,000 and 60,000 internally displaced persons living in Zugdidi at that time. In 1999, Zugdidi was still full of these Internally Displaced Persons, and more than 40,000 were living in the county.

Traveling on a budget in Georgia in 1999 had been an adventure! With a little planning and a sense of adventure, it was still possible to explore this beautiful country without breaking the bank. Transportation from Slovakia to Georgia took 4 days spending up to 70 USD, using trains and 'marschrutka' minibuses like in this case.

The Gelati Monastery in Georgia is known for its vivid and intricate murals, including depictions of Hell. The wall paintings inside the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin is a multi-layered ensemble, and from the original decoration, only the mosaic in the sanctuary conch and the murals of the narthex have survived. The majority of the wall paintings in the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin were executed after 1510, and the murals were commissioned by the Kings of Imereti in the 1520s, 1550s, and between 1560 and 1578. The Gelati Monastery is a masterpiece of the architecture of the “Golden Age” of Georgia and the best representative of its architectural style.

This is the staff of a family restaurant where we took our breakfast treat, khachapuri and tea. I am wondering if this cafe still exist. Probably not, but I am curious to hear from the Kutaisians.

On Bali there are some believers to the Jamaican Rastafari culture. Many Rastas say that it's not a "religion" at all, but a "Way of Life". Rasta and Hindu culture is in the minds of this TV-team who came to broadcast the Ogoh Ogho show three or four hours later. The guy with the very long dreadlocks was the mastermind of the team.

Hmong tribes on the way back to home

The Hmong are known in Laos and China as the Miao, a designation that embraces several different ethnic groups. There is debate about usage of this term, especially amongst Hmong living in the West, as it is believed by some to be derogatory, although Hmong living in Laos still call themselves by this name.
