Tourist Trap: The Georgian Alphabet

I did not like to put the Georgian Alphabet under a trap section @ all but if you are unprepared you'll be trapped. I do apologize for all Georgian who might feel offended; they are after all gracious enough to forgive me. @ least we ignorant foreigners feel trapped when confronted by the Georgian Alphabet.
The bad news there is 33 letters in the alphabet that you'll encounter for the first time. The good news there is no casing so there are no capital and small letters. What a relief!!. The other good news is the letter/sound relationship is one to one meaning each letter can be read only one way. It is not difficult to learn and it is actually very engaging and stimulating to do so. The Georgian Alphabet first appeared around 400 AD.
The Georgian language is unique in another way also. It is not connected to any other major languages. It is connected to 3 other minor local languages spoken in the Caucus area. While in Georgia I realized that there are plenty of Arabic, Farsi and Turkish words in the Georgian language.
