My Journey to a Fitter Lifestyle - From Aspria to Champions Academy

27 February, 2014 | Living in Georgia | 4 seen

Starting a fitness journey is never easy, but finding the right gym can make all the difference.

After searching for a while, I found Aspria, a gym with several branches throughout the city. Initially, I was impressed by the reasonable pricing of 99GEL (~$57) for 24/7 access to the Dinamo Stadium branch. However, as time went on, I found that the best choice for me was actually Champions Academy.

Back in 2014, I had set a goal to lose 17 kilos, and I was hoping that Aspria would be the solution. Although I had made plans to visit, I never ended up making it due to laziness. Unfortunately, I also never lost the 17 kilos I wanted to. But now, as spring approaches, I am renewing my commitment to a healthier lifestyle. My goal for the next 30 days is to lose 5-7 kilos.

I understand that weight loss is a long journey, but taking that first step towards a healthier lifestyle is always the hardest. I hope that my story of finding the right gym will inspire others on their own fitness journey.

Whether it's Aspria or Champions Academy, the important thing is to find the gym that works best for you and stick with it.

Get Your Broken Laptop Hinges Fixed with Amazon: A Guide for Expats in Georgia

26 February, 2014 | Living in Georgia | 9 seen

In Georgia, it's challenging to find good and affordable electronics, and repairing items can seem like a daunting task. If your laptop breaks, the common response is to take it to Laptop Center, or "Leptopi Centri" as it's known locally, located on Uznadze street in Tbilisi.

While they have been of help to me in the past three years, I've found their prices to be on the high side, with a flat rate of 100 GEL (~$57) for most services. What's more, they often blame problems on a bad hard drive or motherboard without identifying the root cause.

Since August 2013, I've taken matters into my own hands and started repairing my electronics, including bad hard drives and broken motherboards. The hinges of my beloved HP Compaq 6510b have broken this time, but since it's an old model that I've upgraded multiple times, I wouldn't dream of letting anyone else touch it.

To get the new hinges, a new laptop of the same model, an AC adapter for my tablet, filters for my vacuum cleaner, and other items, I'm turning to Amazon.com. The shipping process is made simple with the help of the broker company usa2georgia.com. I expect to receive all of my purchases in 2-3 weeks…

"Arrow" is a popular American superhero television series that premiered on The CW in 2012. The show is based on the DC Comics character Green Arrow, and it stars Stephen Amell in the lead role.

The series follows the story of billionaire playboy Oliver Queen, who returns to his hometown of Starling City after being stranded on a deserted island for five years. Once back, he takes on the mantle of a hooded vigilante to fight crime and corruption in the city. As the series progresses, Oliver takes on various villains, both in his public persona as the head of his company and in his secret identity as the Green Arrow.

One of the highlights of "Arrow" is the well-choreographed and visually stunning action sequences. The show's fight scenes are intense, and they do a great job of showcasing Oliver's skills as an archer and hand-to-hand combatant.

Another standout feature of the series is its strong ensemble cast, including David Ramsey as Oliver's confidante and bodyguard, and Emily Bett Rickards as Felicity Smoak, the tech-savvy IT expert who becomes a key member of Oliver's team.
