The Georgian table is conducted in a wise manner in accordance with the ancient ritual. The head of the table “tamada” is elected as proposed by the host. The tamada must be a man of humour with an ability for improvisation and a philosopher’s wisdom. If there are many guests at the table he appoints assistants who in Georgian are called “tolumbashis”. The tamada’s toasts follow one another in a strict never violated order. The guest is obliged to listen attentively to each toast and appreciate the beauty of style and the purpot of the worlds said. If is not allowed to interrupt the tamada when he is saying the toats. The tamada’s assistants and other guests may only add something to the toast or develop its ideas. If you wish to say a toast, you must by all means have the tamada’s consent or else you will find yourself in an awkward position. This table ritual does not put restraints on the guests but maintains discipline at the table. The feast proceeds among jokes and is accompanied by a dance competition, table songs and music, quotations and aphorisms from the works of poets and writers.(aboutgeorgia.net)

Wow , you have very nice T'bilisi Page, Thanks for good Information, Your country is close to me, i hope see you here.
hi Bulent, I liked your Tbilisi page. Tips are great. Most interesting thing at your tips is art nouveaou to me. Ive never heard of that Tbilisi has some art nouveaou buildings. thx for sharing.
Tamada tradition is very strong in Caucassia and Russia.But I will never sit a table with tamada cause I do not want poision my self with over alcohol :)
I agree with you totally about the super sizing of Georgia ;) Loved the red tree photo! Great shopping and restaurant tips too :)
Oh, yes, you've had a great stay there! Good for you!
More of your excellent photos.
I really enjoyed your comments about Georgian Table Music. As far as I know, you and I are the only non-Georgians I know of in VT that enjoy its organic dissonance!
