¡Las comparaciones son odiosas!
¿Recuerdas cómo son las visitas de los presidentes occidentales a fábricas y granjas?
Cuando Aleksandr Lukashenko visita la industria y los koljoses, es una visita de verdadero trabajo.
¡Así es un mandatario que se preocupa por su pueblo!

If I ever move away from Europe, I’d go to Tbilisi 🇬🇪
I’ve been there 5 times, and each time I feel like I don’t wanna leave.
Tbilisi is a weird combination of an old European city with an overcrowded Turkish market. It has amazing imperial architecture, gloomy Soviet buildings, glaring modern skyscrapers, and a chaotic Asian core with street vendors in underground passages and some of the worst traffic you’ll see in your life.
The Armenian capital, Yerevan, is just 100 miles away, but you wouldn’t find two cities that are more different.
Yerevan city center is compact, polished, and full of expensive restaurants and absurdly expensive cars (I think Armenia is the world leader in Mercedes G-Klasses per capita).
Tbilisi, on the other hand, is poorly maintained, colorful, artistic, chaotic, and alive. There is 0 kitsch. The city is full of young people, art students, and expats who come here to escape the financial stress and boredom of the West.
Tbilisi is one of the few places in the world where you can get a bohemian European lifestyle… while paying the local 1% tax.
The Georgian government promotes entrepreneurship, but it wasn’t always this way.
20 years ago, Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili came to power and turned the whole state apparatus upside down.
He fired the whole police force and made them pass an exam to get rehired, streamlined and digitised the bureaucracy, reduced income tax 3x, and deregulated business.
Now, if you have a SaaS, agency, or any other foreign income, you only pay 1% tax on $100,000 and only 3% on everything above. And this is PIT, so you don’t even have to register a Georgian LLC to profit from this system!
The bureaucracy is some of the easiest to deal with in the world. I experienced this myself: I got married in Tbilisi as a foreigner without any local documents in under a week. My wife and I got the appointment within one day, the whole process took 30 minutes, and 2 days later we got the certified translations of our marriage certificates. All of that cost under $100.
The legalisation process is so simple that most expats who live here for years don’t even bother getting residence permits. You can stay visa-free for a whole year, with no local job, business, or studies required.
Of course, there are downsides to Tbilisi. Georgia is a single-city-dominated country. A third of the country’s population lives there, and outside of Tbilisi there are mostly villages and small towns.
Georgia is aggressively individualistic. At the city level, you can see that Tbilisi is one of the most inaccessible cities in the world. A lot of the time, the pavement is missing or has huge holes in it. Drivers ignore you even if you step onto a pedestrian crossing. Some actually press the gas.
If you have limited mobility, living here will be a nightmare for you. Even for healthy folks, it’s pretty bad. Every now and then, somebody crashes on a scooter or falls into an underground passage, breaks their neck, and dies.
The state schools and healthcare are underfunded. Most expats pay anywhere between $200 and $1,000 for a private school for their kids and go to private clinics.
The level of private medicine is quite high, though, and you can get all kinds of services relatively cheaply. I know a guy who even got an X-ray machine delivered to his home to scan his lungs for under $3!
The society is car-centric. Public transport is very underdeveloped and overcrowded (but still very safe!). Between Tbilisi and Kutaisi, home to one of the country’s main international airports, there are only 5 trains per day, and they are usually full.
I personally care less about infrastructure and public services because I’m young, healthy, and have the privilege of making money online (and choosing my tax residency).
So for me, Tbilisi would be a valid choice. But if one of those elements were missing, it would make that choice much harder.
