Advantages: Wonderful people Disadvantages: Ridiculous officials
Before I start I feel compelled to issue this caveat. I do know that the political situation in Georgia is currently a little uneasy and I would understand that some readers might be put off by this.

After finding a copy of A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary for Lovers in a nearby bookshop and being told it was a good read by others I decided to buy it, and then I discovered I'd left my wallet in my other coat.
A few months later after forgetting to come back to that bookshop and buying that book I discovered 20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth in my local library, naturally I picked it up so I could finally see how good of an author Xiaolu Guo was and see whether or not I should go look for the other books she has written.
