Towering Experience

October 3, 2017 – Right after our presentation at the IAEA 2017 Annual Conference, me with CEM colleagues went out for dinner. Our destination – Alphabet Tower.

The Alphabet Tower is one of the famous structures in Batumi, Georgia, and is located at the Miracle Park.   The tower symbolizes the uniqueness of Georgian alphabet and people.  Its design resembles a DNA molecule with two helix containing the 33 letters of its alphabet.  Georgian alphabet is one of the 14 ancient alphabets in the world.

Towering at 135-meter high, it has two elevator in the middle leading to very top of the structure, the crown.  The elevator is made of glass at the sides which enables passengers to see the beautiful surrounding while going up or down.  The experience was nakakangatog ng tyan, to think that it goes straight up or down, alang pwedeng stopover.

At the top of the crown, or sphere, somebody welcomes you and directs you to another elevator leading to second and third floor of the structure.  Located at the second floor is the Panoramic Restaurant while at the third one is the Observation Deck.  Access to the tower costs 8 Georgian Lari.

We went first at the third floor and we were astonished with 360 degree view of Batumi City and the Black Sea.

Then, we went to the second floor, coinciding the equator of the sphere and dined for supper.

We had Thai Salad, Risotto and Seafood Platter.  Masarap naman lahat! What we didn’t expect was that the risotto was full with different kinds of cheese – marami talaga ata silang cheese! J

While dining, we suddenly felt motion on the floor – the whole place was revolving slowly! Astig ng experience at view!
