Texts from Georgia: July 2016

I have decided to start a series called "Texts from Georgia", which is a collection of random/funny things that happen to me in Georgia. I had a list of these on my phone, just for my own entertainment, but I figured other people may find them funny too! It will include things like cultural misunderstandings, cultural quirks, outhouse struggles, and things that make you go, "Only in Georgia". Here is the first installment for the month of July:

July 9, 11:30 pm - Sharing this outhouse with a nice big green slug

July 10 - Our marshrutka (bus) stopped to pick up keys from 1 police station in the middle of nowhere and delivered them to another police station...

July 11, 5:45 pm - It's raining so hard that the restaurant I'm in is flooding and they just got out the bucket

July 26, 8:22 pm - my host mom and aunt are currently watching Better Call Saul dubbed in Georgian and illegally downloaded. Apparently my aunt is a huge Breaking Bad fan and keeps explaining the plot to my host mom. Unexpected.

July 27, 5:19 pm - The conversation on the marsh (bus) today hit the Georgian highlights: what my religion is, what my salary is, and who I am voting for. Only missed whether I am married and if I want a Georgian husband.

July 28, 9:55 am - A lady got on the marsh (bus) with a bag full of chickens and they are VERY unhappy at this treatment and are loudly making it known.
