I spent 5 days in Tbilisi as a tourist and I was honestly a little surprised by how little interaction I had with people.

I’m a very friendly person and I smile a lot, so I usually try to make eye contact, smile, say hello, etc. But I noticed that kiosk owners, McDonald’s employees, people working in shops, and even random people in public generally seemed quite serious or even somewhat bitter. I rarely got a smile back or any kind of small interaction. Instead i get often "the resting bitch face"
