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"

Hi everyone,

I’m planning a 14-day trip to Georgia and Armenia with my wife, travelling from India. We’re planning to rent a car and potentially drive between Georgia and Armenia.

A little background: I’m 45 years old and have travelled to 35+ countries. We also currently hold valid US, Canada and Schengen visas and have travelled internationally several times.

My main question is about entry and immigration, particularly as Indian passport holders.

I’ve read quite a few posts mentioning that immigration at Georgia can sometimes be strict or people can face questioning/refusal at the border, and I wanted to understand how much of an issue this actually is and is driving okay ?
