Goodbye Armenia, Helloooooo Georgia!!!

Hmmmmm I don't quite know how to put my first day/ night out of Georgia into words. . .hmmmm let's see. I'm traveling with R wheezy (who is a girl), P wheezy ( who is a guy) and let's just call this other guy Bop. So Bop , the two wheezys and I rode the train from Yerevan all the way to Tbilisi, we got in at about 1 AM Georgia time . And went directly to our couchsurfer's house. Now when you read someone's couchsurfing profile and they say " something is definitely wrong with me"  in their profile description then usually to most normal people that would be a red flag ( dot dot dot) HOWEVER . . . to four travel hungry , expat, ex-PC volunteers , newly released into the brave new world, this signals a fun, exciting night full a great and new experiences. . . Anywho I digress, we got to our couchsurfers house and called him since he was not there when we rang his bell. He pulls up in a car about 5 minutes later and tells us to drop our stuff  because we are about to go to" a crazy place where all the weird people in Georgia are" ( NOTE:that should have been our second  red flag, but nooooo because we are some troopers and after 2 years in PC there's noting we can't handle, or that surprises us anymore) so we get to the afor- mentioned place and YUP! NO SIREE BOB couch surfer #1 did not lie to us. 4 hours later, after a mildly amusing and extremely disturbing night , R Wheezy and I decide to get the key for his house, and to leave the establishment we were at to go grab our stuff and then throw up the two fingers at his place. So we did. We collected our stuff from his apartment and  though we had no idea where we would be resting our heads that night , we knew for  sure it was not gonna be couchsurfer no# 1's house. AWKWARDDDD, table for 1,thanks! Later on R Wheezy and I found a hostel that let us sleep on their floor with cushions included for free 99. I honestly think the owner just saw the panic stricken look in our eyes and decided it would probably be safer to just let us in than have us running around olde town in Tbilisi knocking down doors at 4 AM in the morning. Anywho, we're about to get dressed in camouflage so we can go eat some khajapurie while we ensure we do not run in to couchsurfer no#1 . By the way, did I mention he lives next door to the hostel? 0_O
That's the way she blows. Sometimes she does and sometimes she doesn't. Will try to post pics later.
