The nature is beautiful, but I lived there for a year and wasn't happy there. Sorry just being honest. I traveled to many countries and was always able to focus on the positives and enjoy myself. In Georgia there were just so many rude people (in general, of course there are also good people), it was incredibly frustrating for me. One day walking in Tbilisi people even bumped into me very hard about 8 times in one hour, that never ever happens to me (being a big guy), not in any country, but here it happened a lot! Men are also incredibly sexist. My female friends (from the US) were constantly being harassed. I guess it's ok for holidays though.

Levan's arms are insane. Forearms, biceps, wrists, and especially hands. All insanely huge and unbelievably powerful. Did not think he would be so much larger than you!

The production value of your videos is off the scale including camera angles, music and the way you present the material. What a pleasure to watch!

Konstantine having a picture of big Z on his gym wall is so wholesome

If you guys ever get the chance, watching the recently retired Georgian Rikishi (sumo wrestler) Tochinoshin. Dude was a BEAST in his prime. Unfortunately endured a knee injury and wasn't the same after that--who would be--but the guy never ceased to be a joy to watch.

Martins it's really nice video about my beautiful country, thanks you so much!!! Wish you all the best man !! დიდი მადლობა! 🇬🇪

I’m sure it was obvious based title, but I’ve only watched these in the background. Even so, sitting down and watching this with the beginning voiceover it finally occurred to me how much Martins/Romark are paying homage to Anthony Bourdain’s Parts Unknown and it’s making me nostalgic for that series. Production value on these is next level.

Epic!! love this series. Georgia looks amazing

That was awesome you guys got to visit with Levan he’s an absolute monster!!! I don’t think people realize how different the arm wrestling strength is than anything else it’s all about ligaments and tendons to take years and years to build up course it doesn’t hurt if you’re Levan’s size and strength too
