300 people wedding at Sarajishvili's with celebrity toastmaster(Berikashvili), jamming with famous musicians or just drinking coffee with a cute young actress is all part of today's Georgian pastime captured by me in Summer 2006.Georgian passtime or "ქეიფი"(keipi) Although much can be said about Georgian traditions, we will only give you a few tips on what is appropriate or inappropriate in the country. Since Georgia is at the junction of Europe and Asia, any tradition here is presented in a moderate way. Besides, you can always ask local people about the details you are interested in.FamilyFamily is one of the cornerstones of the Georgian life style. Georgian families are usually extended, i.e. often three generations parents and children live together.Georgian tableAn unusual phenomenon for foreign visitors is the Georgian table, which has a deeper implication than an ordinary meal.Complicated ritual relationships are manifested in it. The table is led by "tamada", who proposes traditional toasts. Each toast is interpreted by table members before drinking it.Georgian toasts are numerous but the most important and popular are the toasts to the guests, friends, ladies, family members, relatives, mother land, those, who passed away, etc. You can extend the list yourself.In Georgia you never drink wine without toasting, which is not applicable to beer. Traditional tables are usually accompanied by singing.As mentioned above, the table is led by "tamada", who is the one to propose toasts. If you want to leave the table (this especially concems men), the most appropriate way will be the following: first ask the tamada for permission to propose a toast, then toast to the host family and only after that leave the table. In restaurants and other places the bill is never split and is paid by one person. Normally, men pay for women http://www.tamadaonline.com/
"The cloth is on the table, so you will have a good meal tonight" - so said the guide kicking off a fine tour of the Table Mountain area. We couldn't go onto it because of the cloud cover, but we were able to see it from signal hill. There is also footage of the Noon Gun in this video - the oldest functional cannon in Africa, which is let off over the bay at noon each day. The boom simply doesn't register on the camera's sound system, so all you hear is a modest crack, but the real one is enough to give you a real start, even when you know it's coming - hence the jolt on the camera at that point, and the reaction from the onlookers.Towards the end you can see the view of Table Mountain from the exit motorway from Cape Town in the direction of the wine-growing area.

At first Barbara and I had to struggle to find the table we were supposed to be on ...And we landed on the one where the lady, Julie Peel had the most appealing green hat and a boisterous personality whereby she insisted on speaking to the head waiter to give us another bottle of white wine as there was not enough white wine to go round the table.One of the waiters said that every table had a bottle of white wine and a bottle of red as part of a set menu ... it could not be changed just for our table, and besides, they had poured out a glass of red wine for me already ...Head waiter arrives and says sumdink similar and I decided that I will have to get involved and negotiate, so I interjected and said with a smile,"Yes, one of your waiters did pour out a glass of red wine for me but I have not touched it, so the ladies would appreciate your exchanging the practically full bottle of red wine for a bottle of white wine which all the ladies on this table prefers to drink."And hey presto! With our combined efforts, Julie and I got a bottle of white wine for our table. Team work is wonderful! ... and new friends were being made ...Annie,"Yeah! I'm a banana - yellow on the outside and white on the inside."Julie,"Yeah! My surname is Peel as in a banana. I'm inside out to you."How appealing ...
