Somehow in Georgia still work old payphones that accept the payment of coins. In addition, you can make an international call in the negotiation point: this is probably found in a large post office. Call right from the hotel will cost more expensive, "thanks to" intermediary operators. In addition to the high cost, it is also a connection may not be akty of what quality, so it is better to order a telephone conversation in advance.

With any journey, abroad will make it possible to avoid major financial costs in case of an unexpected situation. If we talk specifically about Georgia, then the design of medical insurance for entry into the country is not required. It's just in your own interests. In particular, if you gathered in the mountains to go skiing or do something else extreme. If something happened to you (and insurance has already been framed), then you should contact your insurance office and learn recommendations on further actions where exactly you should seek medical care.
Those who decided to come to Tbilisi for a long period, more profitable and better will issue a policy of insurance right on the spot, in the Georgian firm - such, for example, as "Aldagi)." or "GPI" . Most insurance programs in local companies are designed for a year. When terminating the contract, the client loses funds paid for the month forward (payment is carried out in advance). No additional vaccinations for a trip to this country do not need. And it is also worth considering that medical support in Georgia may not be at such a good level, as in Europe, therefore, we go on the road by the most important drugs.
The police in Georgia do not take bribes, because in relation to corruption in this country there is a very hard policy. Attempting to bring a bribe to a police representative can be fraught with deportation and even imprisonment.

The only thing that you can threaten serious trouble is to visit Abkhazia and South Ossetia without approval of the Georgian power. This is considered a criminal offense. In addition, citizens of Russia are prohibited from entering Georgia through these territories.
If you respect the Georgian legislation and do not enter into local people in conversations about politics and national issues, in Tbilisi to you will be treated with all respects and will always help get used in an unfamiliar atmosphere.
