Some people have said that travel is from a place you are not familiar with to a place familiar to others, and then eat, sleep, take pictures, send friends, and when the time comes, return to the original point. In Signaggi, the most romantic wine town in Georgia, the happiest thing we did was a big guy cooking. We are not interested in the sights of Sighnaghi. We didn't plan to go to the sights when we arrived. Instead, we were all playing mobile phone screens. We went to the meal time to work together, you buy food, he did Rice, I wash the dishes, noisy and busy in the grandmother's upstairs kitchen. The kitchen faces the main street. In the town, you can see a few Chinese people cooking and cooking in the afternoon. After traveling these days, I understand the truth. I want to capture the hearts of Chinese friends. Everyone wants to go out and cook hot pot. If you want to gather, everyone will cook together. Its also a good meal that everyone happens to make together. Without the Chinese food, this atmosphere allows everyone to quickly become a good friend, and the revolutionary friendship at the dinner table is profound. Every time I have a good meal, my grandmother is also invited to try Chinese food together, shouting upstairs, the grandmother stepping on the wine with her own wine, and giving it to everyone. All are full, a cool drink, a slow drink, and then full, and then drink and clean, the cool cool makes me sigh.

Choosing a restaurant is also a bar. Nobody in the afternoon, the counter is full of wine. I ordered a few dishes and two glasses of wine. The semi-sweet taste is really much better than the domestic one. The entrance is with a hint of sweetness. The dish has not yet come up, and the wine is drunk halfway. Its really a country of origin, a bottle of wine 5 lari, the key is to pour you a full cup. plus white wine, I always had the illusion that it was beer. After entering the night, the narrow cobblestone street. The rain is backward, the road is slippery, and the walk must be careful. There are still many vehicles coming and going on the street, with low beam lights and warm yellow light on the road surface. The rain is not too big. I want to spend more time in the rain wearing a hat. The room is heated and very warm when approaching. But the whole room is too big, it is still too cold to add air conditioning. When getting up in the morning, all the windows are foggy, and opening the door is a bitter cold wind. The snowy mountain opposite is even more invisible, even the trees are looming in the fog. Hey, we really picked a "good time." No sunshine or heavy snow.
