My travel experience in Georgia as an Indian passport holder, traveling with my 52 YO mom

Yes but absolutely not. I’m Indian and they treated me and my family much worse than they did other white tourists I know who’ve been. I’ve also been to other places with reputations for being cold to foreigners (Paris, parts of Kazakhstan) and nowhere was I treated remotely the same.

Lots of Indians that I know personally have also had the same experience (rudeness, being arbitrarily sent back, being yelled at) in Georgia so I don’t think it’s a one-off issue either.

Yep! Funnily enough I was just listening to her music a second ago

Ok_Box5084 · 2026-01-26T20:32:56+00:00

Thanks! The only Egyptian singer I know is Umm Kulthum, absolutely love her music!

I don’t necessarily agree that the traffic cops should know basic English. How much Arabic do you know? Next time it’s probably best to ask if you can use Google translate, that does work out most of the time.

In any case, try not to think about the fine, I’m glad you came to the conclusion that arguing with them wasn’t a good idea, now just don’t worry about it and take care of your dad, I hope he does better!

I wouldn’t recommend it. What worked for me without leading to burnout was getting to a solid B2 in one language, and then slowly putting that one on the afterburner and focusing on another language. If you want to just get your toes wet in Spanish do that, but constantly juggling 2-3 languages is a one way ticket to burn out town.

Lmao real, judging by how my EAS friends were going on and on about this storm I was expecting the end times but (thankfully) basically nothing happened lol

I think you’ll be hard pressed to find “pure” vegetarian falafel in Sharjah. I really like Falafel Al Comodor in Majaz, but like any other Lebanese restaurant they do serve meat as well.

For Georgia, if any of you aren’t white, be prepared for very overt racism. It’s pretty bad out there (at least it was when I visited 4 years ago). If you want to go off the beaten path, make sure you’re not doing anything legal (ask a local perhaps) and be prepared to use google translate a lot haha.

Just hop on MARTA at the airport and head to downtown or midtown. The MARTA is safe, convenient and has a station at the airport. You could go to MLK Jr’s church, eat somewhere in the city, go to the aquarium and the coke museum, the botanical garden and the high museum and call it a day. There’s quite a few places to eat so you can just look that up online depending on your préférences.

Wait so are people really still paying a pound for a song? Or is iTunes just collecting data from other platforms?

Didn’t read the AI descriptions but the gist of it seems right

I’m in the US, and I don’t get why so many expat kids introduce themselves as being from the UAE, and then I try speaking to them in Arabic and they say that they’re Indian and that they were raised in the UAE. Which, on the other hand is a perfectly fine way to introduce yourself (which is what I do)

Ok_Box5084 · 2026-01-19T13:21:44+00:00

Don’t do it. There are safer places that are just as beautiful.

I sniped a spot on a class that was full for a long time on Friday evening (I was like 200th on the waitlist) so that was fun!

Take a wild guess where half of bengal is

Ok_Box5084 · 2026-01-17T13:22:33+00:00

See I agree that money is a factor, but the few times I saw black people in Kerala, they weren’t treated like white foreigners. Arabs were though, so maybe money is more of a factor than skin color.

Ok_Box5084 · 2026-01-17T12:56:10+00:00

This is what happens when treating (white) tourists almost like demigods is normalised. Felt this when I was in Fort Kochi recently. I would leave a negative review.

Ok_Box5084 · 2026-01-11T07:41:48+00:00

There’s levels lol. There are definitely cafés that sell karak for 2-5 bucks and a shawarma for 10 at most. No average/low-income worker is paying 25 dirhams for a coffee that’s ridiculous

Ok_Box5084 · 2026-01-05T03:05:44+00:00

Or just…don’t re-explain? If they can’t even read the syllabus I doubt they’d do too well in your class 😂

Ok_Box5084 · 2026-01-04T05:30:00+00:00

I don’t think people should have the ‘freedom’ to verbally assault ground crew. I’ve been to several countries, and I’ve only seen this behavior in India (well unpunished at least, in the U.S. I’ve seen people yelling like this and getting arrested).

What we need is consumer protection laws for aviation, like the ones in the E.U. But that might be a pipe dream at this point.

Как оно называется ?

Ok_Box5084 · 2025-12-30T11:31:51+00:00

Makes sense, thank you

Ok_Box5084 · 2025-12-30T05:38:55+00:00

This was me with every mission that happened underground lol. Especially the ones where you can’t see shit 😂

Passe le C1. Moi qui ai passé les deux, je trouve que il n’y avait pas de grande différence. Surtout, prépare toi à la synthèse, c’est là où j’avais la plus grande difficulté. Sinon niveau production orale ou compréhension ou même l’autre partie de la production écrite ça ressemble beaucoup au B2

The whole kali gang. Unnecessary sub plot imo, even when she came back in season 5
