    If you see young Indians in Eastern Europe, they are all mostly studying medicine or related subjects. Medical schools in India are so competitive (largely because India has the second largest population in the world after China) that many Indians go abroad to Eastern Europe where uni fees are surprisingly cheaper than those in India. After they get their medical degree in Eastern Europe, those who want to go back to India and be doctors, then have to pass the entrance exam and then get their equivalent of qualified doctor status in India 🇮🇳.

      The population of India is large, but it is not the reason why medical schools are so competitive. The actual population of India which is wealthy enough to afford tertiary education, internet, running water etc. is maybe a 10th of the total. The reason why it is like that is because older generation of India have no market economy literacy due to former government policies, and there are only 3 jobs that guarantee the "good life" - civil servant, engineer or doctor - ruclips.net/video/ItcBEKpm8ys/видео.html
      It is not that different in other parts of the world though. In Germany as a German citizen you need to have literally perfect grades to get admitted to a med school and it is more difficult to graduate than in India. That is why there is also a German med student exodus in other European countries and beyond.

      @@charlesdarwin3124 Also don’t forget the entrance qualifications to go to certain medical schools abroad will be slightly less strict and also if you got grades that were close to the requirements, sometimes establishments will have foundation levels of medicine, which is an extra year before studying proper medicine.

I'm also amazed by the fact that you pronounce "Tbilisi" perfectly, the way it should be pronounced. 99% of foreigners spell it like "Tiblisi" because of the consonants. If you ever come back to Georgia (Tbilisi), let me know. I'm a local RUclipsr and Hip Hop artist. We could collaborate:) Good luck!

      It's because of our de-facto government politics and national bank. They print money without stop and it inflates money. Economy in our country is not controlled unfortunatly. Also we don't have free money trading meaning you are in fact forced to use Georgian lari. Prices will eventually keep growing until we change government.

      Supermarkets here in Tbilisi are indeed stupid prices now, for food at least inflation must be 20+% but there are ways around it by buying from the bazaars to get fresh vegetables and fruits for half the price they are in supermarkets here. Public transport has also doubled in price in the last year or so, and apartment rent prices are also double or more since Ukraine war started.
      I'm glad in this video he switched from speaking Russian to locals here into English as Russia is totally the enemy of Georgia (and Ukraine) and with over 200,000 Russians running here to avoid conscription into the army there is a LOT of animosity towards Russian people as it's contributed to the inflation in the country and some Georgians are really struggling now.
      If Ukraine loses this war then spare a thought and a prayer for us here in Georgia as we will be next on Putin's list...Russia already occupies 20% of Georgia (Russian military is 1hr30 drive from Tbilisi now) so Putin will be eager to get more if NATO does not stand up to him

      So basically it's almost cheaper to eat out when buy and cook foods DIY? lol. I plan to visit or form a corporation there to enjoy 5% or 1% High Net Worth income tax while I do not have to stay in there over 183 days unlike most other countries, maybe every yr visit few months or if I like it then stay longer (if the living standard cost is cheaper than in the US - besides housing/rent). I watch some YT videos some said Georgia country offers 1% co. income tax and single digital personal income tax or withdraw tax and only a few countries not require investors must stay there over n days (typically 183 days), that sounds the best b/c I want lower tax country and free to live anywhere I like, I want both lower income tax & freedom. What do u suggest? Thank u bro!

    Advice for those who come to Georgia. 1. "Carrefour" and "Nikora" supermarkets are expensive compared to other. stores, try to use the following supermarkets - "Orinabiji", "Gvirila", "Libre",,ioli,,. 2. Use "Bolt" or "Maxims", taxi... (private taxi will always cost you more money). Respect the Georgian culture and religion..3. Avoid talking about political topics, especially about Russia.

I saw in the videos of another traveler who came to Turkey that he went to very bad restaurants and I wanted to warn you before you came to Turkey. Please take note of what I said and write whatever you have to ask about Turkey under this post. European side, Börek: Namli Börek - Beşiktaş. Doner: Karadeniz Doner- besiktas. Lahmacun: Cigir Lahmacun-Aksaray. Steak House, Kebab: Baran Et Mangal- Fatih. Boza: Vefa Bozacisi - Fatih. Milk dessert (Kazandibi): Kiztasi pudding - Fatih. These are the first things that come to my mind. You can write to me here, I wish you a happy day :)

United Nations don't seem to bother in this systemic racism against GENERAL CATEGORY INDIANS (like jews in Nazi Germany). Those meritorious indian citizens are now relocating to US,UK etc. & contributing in development of those countries (like jewish scientists & businessmen fled Nazi persecution & went to USA / Switzerland).
