It’s become more popular in recent years but Malta is great. We’ve also enjoyed trips to North Macedonia and Bulgaria. Microstates are fun too.

Those three definitely. I was going to say that Estonians go to Georgia and love it there.

Iran? Iraq?

It’s called Khachapuri. Did you really go to Georgia and not learn that?!
Well, I knew exactly what PP was talking about when they said "cheese bread thing." I would not have know what they were talking about if they said Khachapuri. So I appreciated it.
Why the hostility?
No hostility, just incredulity that one could travel to Georgia and instead of reciting the proper name of one of the country’s most prevalent foods, instead refer to it as “that cheese bread thing.” Honestly, some people should just stay home.

People are pretty hostile to Israel, but it's a nice place to visit.
