Ice Skating Tbilisi

Rink in Tbilisi

Levan from Tbilisi

About me Hello, I am Levan, a guy born in 1994 from Tbilisi, Georgia. I am a mathematician, but there are way more things I'm interested in. I have been working since my sophomore year at university, when I was 19 years old, and I've been challenging myself in different fields. I started as a private teacher of math and worked as a sports reporter at the most famous...
"The ice skating rink in Tbilisi has so many memories for me... It still has my internal sense of freedom!"

I was 5 when my parents first introduced me to ice skating or so they thought. At that time nothing in Georgia was properly functioning. I guess the whole country had PSTSD (Post-Soviet Traumatic Stress Disorder), if this kind of thing exists. Electricity was fairly on and off and most of the time I was finding myself playing with wax next to the candle.

No permanent energy was meant no permanent ice on the rink. So, we patiently waited for better conditions, for a new power importer into Georgia or maybe for an expensive generator (I don't know, I was 5).

So I had these "ice skating classes" without the ice, meaning: most of the time we concentrated on body strength, stretching and better balance - in short, I was doing fitness and yoga before it was cool.

Finally, our forbearance paid off and I was able to experience the real freedom, the call of my destiny, the '90s kid's nirvana - real ice, real boots and blades...

The moment I stepped on the ice, I realized I was born for that!

...but, you know, then you grow up, you change your mind a million times and end up with a career you never imagined.

Even so,  I'm happy that this place still exists and I can still can go there, trying to reach that dream, unleash my inner child, remember my bittersweet memories and just be free.

About me Hello, I am Levan, a guy born in 1994 from Tbilisi, Georgia. I am a mathematician, but there are way more things I'm interested in. I have been working since my sophomore year at university, when I was 19 years old, and I've been challenging myself in different fields. I started as a private teacher of math and worked as a sports reporter at the most famous sports news agency in Georgia. Later, I decided to explore myself better and started working at two places at the same time - both about sports and writing, but slightly different. ...

Bolero bakery

Pastry for the whole city

The most spectacular thing I noticed here is the delicacy the shop owners handled each slice with while placing them into the takeaway box.
