Curious Objects in Tbilisi (1) - Abacus

In almost all shops the shopkeepers use abacus. I doubt its ubiquitous presence is because shopkeepers have no money for a cheap chinese calculator. My view is shopkeepers love to use abacus. Perhaps they also know that working on an abacus improves development of a right brain - side responsible for creativity, artistic sense and spatial arrangements (dimensional sense).

 So my conclusion is that all shopkeepers using abacus are artists. If anyone wants to practise on abacus and work on development of a right side of a brain - itunes may help - since last year they offer russian abacus app.



Alternatively one can buy an abacus on Tbilisi flee market.
