A thing and picture from Tbilisi

I've noticed several times on buses here something you won't ever see in the US.  On a crowded bus a family with a child gets on the bus and a complete stranger, usually a young woman, picks up the child, without even asking the family, and sets the child on her lap.  This isn't viewed as strange and every time I've seen it has been accepted as normal by the family and the child.  I think it shows an intimacy between Armenians that is fascinating to me because I have never seen anything like that in the US.

And now some pictures of Tbilisi:
