High Above The City, Where Every Corner Sparks Joy And Every View Steals Your Breath in Mtatsmindt Amusement Park Tbilisi, Georgia

mpark.png

This mountaintop park offers great fun and amazing peak views. Ride the Tbilisi Funicular to reach the top and before entering the park, stop by the overlook to enjoy the vistas from Tbilisi’s highest point. Have a go on the massive Ferris wheel, Ghost Castle dark ride, carousels and water slides—all while you're at over 2,500 feet above sea level. Stick around till after dark to enjoy the Tbilisi city lights from above. Entrance to the park is free though there's a fee for individual attractions and the funicular. There are also 1-day entrance tickets available for unlimited access to rides.https://www.tripadvisor.com.

My husband and I finally set foot in Georgia for the first time last December. A destination we had long been curious about. We only had five days, so every hour felt valuable. After landing in Tbilisi, we checked into our hotel and leaving our luggage in the room and made a rapid decision. It was a bit rainy but we didn’t want to idle our first day resting indoors. We stepped right back out, ready to explore, letting the soft drizzle add a quiet charm to the beginning of our adventure.

Travel for us is about mobility, prying and the simple joy of discovery. A fast hunt led us to Mtatsminda Amusement Park, one of the city’s most popular attractions. To our surprise it was just a minute away from our hotel. We walked toward the park, we passed a small park where we paused for photos. Soft laughter savoring the feeling of being somewhere new together.

When we reached the park, the entrance was free, which already makes the experience feel welcoming. But we paid for the funicular ride knowing it would take us on a memorable journey to the top. The cable-driven railway climbed steeply up the mountain. For five peaceful minutes we were bordered by thick greenery on both sides. It makes a natural tunnel that feels relaxing and intimate. Along the climb we spotted a monastery settled among the mountains. It was encircled by big evergreen trees standing silently in the fog. It was a spot that filled our hearts with wonder.

At the peak, the space opened wide, giving a calm world far removed from the city’s bustle below. The air felt cooler. The environs soothed by fog and towering trees stood like gentle guardians of the park. The iconic Mtatsminda building is a distinct architectural landmark adorned with grand columns, ornate ceilings, and several inviting restaurants. The pathways were wet from the rain and the weather remained foggy, so we skipped the panoramic city view, we didn’t mind at all.

We continued walking and came across shops in the area. Some were already closed for the day. We reached another entrance marked by two white lion statues guarding a staircase and was surrounded by dense trees and bushes. The grid patterned paths, benches and corners made the place feel perfect for slow walks and placid picnics.

We came across a children’s play area plugged with colorful slides, coasters and even a small pool. It was raining and already late in the afternoon, the place was still and empty. It gives an almost peaceful ambiance.

There were cafés and ice cream stalls spread throughout the park. These stalls turned simple pauses into moments of rest and satisfaction. It's best to slow down and immerse in the beauty of the park.

We saw a large Christmas tree standing at the center of walkway near a fountain and decorative sculpture. It adds warmth and a vibrant touch to the misty afternoon.

One of the park’s most amazing highlights was the massive Ferris wheel. It stands tall and elegant against the misty sky. Its size and presence stunned us. It governs the view like a silent guardian watching over the city below. I couldn’t stop catching the moment. I took photo after photo, trying to save the beauty of that fleeting view. My husband found an area to sit. He stared into the hazy distance. He was deeply engaged in the serene surroundings. It was comforting to watch him, still and reflective. As if the world had slowed down just for us. I soon joined him, setting my camera aside and together we allowed ourselves a peaceful pause.

As we continued we passed the Tbilisi TV Tower gleaming in blue and pink against the cloudy sky.

Our visit ended with a cable car ride down the mountain. We enjoyed despite the rain and limited visibility. When we reached the lower station of the Rustaveli–Mtatsminda cable car, the flowing architectural design, curved walkways and festive garlands instantly amazed us. We left the park feeling deeply content. The weather didn’t matter. Mtatsminda Amusement Park welcomed us with peace, beauty and quiet joy. An unforgettable first memory of Georgia that we will always carry with us.

BPC Locked On Mc Franko & The Franko

Blurt Stands — While Hive Stumbles Under the Weight of Its Own Shadows

Friends, creators, truth-tellers—

Let us not whisper this truth, but proclaim it with the clarity of dawn breaking over a weary land: Blurt.blog is not just another platform. It is a refuge. A rebellion. A return to what Hive.blog was always meant to be.

There is no downvote button on Blurt.
Not because we fear dissent—but because we honor creation.
Because we understand that a voice, once raised in sincerity, deserves space—not sabotage.

On Blurt, your words are your words.
They are not hunted by algorithmic hounds or shadow armies masquerading as “curators.”
Here, you are not judged by the grudges of gatekeepers, but met with the quiet dignity of a community that believes expression should be encouraged—especially when it is bold, raw, or inconvenient.

Contrast this with what festers elsewhere.

On Hive.blog—a place once brimming with promise—a rot has taken root. Not in its code, but in its culture. A handful of self-anointed enforcers—@themarkymark, @Buildawhale, @Hurtlocker, and their legion of coordinated puppets—have turned the downvote into a weapon of mass discouragement. They strike not at “low-quality content,” but at independent thought, at rising voices, at anyone who dares thrive outside their narrow corridors of control.

And when confronted, they shrug.
“Oh, it’s not censorship,” they say, as if semantics could scrub the stain of suppression from their hands.

But let us be unequivocal:
When a system allows a few to systematically silence many—under the guise of “community standards” or “curation”—that is not moderation. That is censorship by another name.

It is the velvet glove over the iron fist.
It is exclusion dressed as discernment.
It is power pretending to be principle.

Meanwhile, Blurt stands clean-handed and open-hearted.
No downvotes.
No hidden juries.
No farms of phantom accounts casting ballots in the dark.

Just you.
Your words.
And a community that meets you not with suspicion, but with solidarity.

So let us carry this truth far and wide—not with bitterness, but with quiet certainty:

If you seek a place where your voice is not a target—but a gift—come to Blurt.
If you are tired of building on ground that shifts with every whim of a whale or warlord of votes—lay your bricks here.
If you believe the future of free expression must be free—not just from corporations, but from the petty tyrants who replace them—then stand with us.

The world needs to know.
Not because Blurt is perfect—but because it is principled.
Not because it is loud—but because it listens.

And in an age where so many platforms echo with the clatter of control,
Blurt offers something radical:
Silence for the bullies.
Space for the rest of us.

Keep speaking.
Keep sharing.
Keep building.

Freedom doesn’t advertise itself—
it is passed, person to person, like a torch in the night.

And tonight, the torch burns bright on Blurt.

@themarkymark, @buildawhale, @usainvote, and associated accounts:

Repeated downvotes targeting transparency efforts raise urgent questions about Hive’s governance. Automated tactics, coordinated curation trails, and alt-account farming undermine trust in the platform. When truth is silenced without dialogue, it erodes Hive’s decentralized ethos.

Key Concerns:

  1. Systemic Manipulation:

    • Coordinated downvotes from high-HP accounts suppress dissent, creating a chilling effect on free expression.
    • Automation and alt-account networks allegedly exploit rewards, distorting organic curation.
  2. Community Exodus:

    • Creators flee to platforms like Blurt, where downvotes don’t exist, fearing punitive curation over engagement.
  3. Governance Crisis:

    • Hive’s credibility hinges on accountability. Who decides what content thrives? How do we audit power structures?

Solutions Needed:

  • Curation Transparency: Publish clear rationales for downvotes to foster trust.
  • Community Audits: Leverage blockchain data (e.g., Bilpcoin’s analyses) to identify abusive patterns.
  • Reward Reform: Adjust algorithms to penalize manipulation and reward authentic engagement.

The Bilpcoin team advocates for open dialogue, not division. Hive’s future depends on collaboration—not coercion. Let’s rebuild a platform where truth isn’t buried but debated, strengthened, and celebrated.

Transparency isn’t optional—it’s the foundation of trust.

#HiveTransparency #BilpcoinExposed #DecentralizePower"

A Message to @themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Associates

Every downvote cast in shadow, every silence imposed without dialogue, is not a victory—it is a confession. A confession that truth cannot be stifled, only delayed. With each punitive click, you dig deeper into the bedrock of credibility, crafting a chasm between your actions and the community’s trust.

@themarkymark, @buildawhale & Co,

How can you continue to downvote the truth, LOL? It’s almost comical how blatantly you attempt to suppress what cannot be hidden. The blockchain records everything—every action, every transaction, every move you make. Yet still, you persist in this futile game of trying to silence what is undeniable.

@themarkymark, @buildawhale, and Co: While our opinions may differ, on-chain transparency reveals repeated patterns of concern. Coordinated downvotes without explanation, 'farming' schemes (e.g., #buildawhalefarm), and adversarial engagement harm Hive’s community-driven ethos.

Key Issues to Address:

  1. Downvote Practices: Silencing dissent erodes trust. Constructive dialogue, not punitive curation, fosters growth.
  2. Accountability: Transactions and curation trails are public. Scrutiny is inevitable—integrity demands addressing concerns openly.
  3. Community Impact: Driving users to platforms like Blurt/Steemit weakens Hive. Creators seek ecosystems that value collaboration over conflict.

A Path Forward:

  • Engage in open discussions about governance and fairness.
  • Audit curation practices to align with Hive’s decentralized values.
  • Prioritize transparency—publish explanations for downvotes or collaborative reforms.

The Bilpcoin team remains committed to exposing truth and advocating for solutions. Let’s work toward healing, not division.

Note: All claims are based on publicly verifiable blockchain data. Constructive dialogue is encouraged.

#HiveTransparency #CommunityFirst #BilpcoinSupport"

@themarkymark & Co, the choice is yours. Stop the bad downvotes. Turn off the BuildaWhale scam farm. Cease playing with people’s livelihoods. Let Hive thrive as it was meant to—as a beacon of hope, creativity, and collaboration.

Or step aside and let those who truly care take the reins.

Because the truth won’t disappear. No amount of lies can change it.

It’s over.

The Bilpcoin team brings these truths not out of malice but necessity. We have no need to fabricate lies or cloak our intentions CALL US WHAT YOU LIKE —for the facts speak loudly enough on their own. What we present here is not conjecture but reality, laid bare for anyone willing to see.

@themarkymark & Co we urge you once more: STOP. Stop hiding behind tactics that harm others. Stop clinging to practices that erode trust within the Hive community. Let the truth stand—not because we proclaim it, but because it exists independent of any one person’s approval or disdain.

TURN OFF THE BUILDAWHALE SCAM FARM

  • STOP THE BAD DOWNVOTES
  • STOP PLAYING WITH PEOPLE’S LIVELIHOODS

Key Issues That Demand Immediate Attention:

The problems are glaring, undeniable, and corrosive to the Hive ecosystem. They must be addressed without delay:

  • Downvote abuse
  • Farming schemes
  • Speaking disrespectfully to others
  • Encouraging people to avoid certain users out of personal dislike
  • Self-voting with alt accounts
  • Self-funding projects through self-votes
  • Promoting games that don’t even exist (LOL)

These practices harm not just individual users—they undermine the very foundation of Hive, eroding trust and poisoning the community. Such actions are unethical and outright destructive.
