Only Lovers Left Alive
Today I watched "Only Lovers Left Alive," a 2013 Jim Jarmusch film. It is hard to define its genre: Wikipedia describes it as "Gothic fantasy comedy-drama," but I've also seen it defined as "horror thriller." I guess to say it has a little bit of everything would be fair. I'm going to run it quickly through my usual media literacy analysis, with major spoilers included. So if you want to watch it and hate spoilers, you should probably stop here.

Teslas in Tbilisi
When I arrived in Tbilisi in August 2025, I noticed right away how many Tesla cars this city had. I obviously don't have the exact stats but it seems like they are everywhere and there's a lot more of them compared to other large cities I've been to.

Gulo's Thermal Spa Treatment
We finally got to the thermal spa that we've been wanting to visit for two months. I formed a party of four that included my niece, myself and two of my teaching colleagues, Katie and Anna. I reserved a room for one hour for 3-5 people that had a hot and cold pool and a sauna for 200 GEL ($75), which is a decent price when you split it for four people.

Ali and Nino in Batumi, Georgia
I've been wanting to see this statue in person forever. I finally did, last weekend (February 7, 2026). My niece, who is staying with me and will be leaving in a week, desperately wanted to go to a sea (she has been to lakes, ponds, rivers, and oceans but never to a sea) so we decided to make a short trip to Batumi, the third largest city in Georgia (after Tbilisi and Kutaisi) located on the Black Sea shore. It is also a capital of Ajara, one of the regions of Georgia with a distinct culture and traditions. And the favorite place for Russians who fled Putin's war in Ukraine. In our short stay there, we heard a lot more Russian than Georgian in the streets of Batumi.
