My walk around this city I see a big difference in new and old built buildings. The average price of an Apartment in Batumi is around $450 per month. I pay $429 for a spacious studio apartment with a lovely view of the Black Sea and city lights at night.
So where do the workers live, whose salaries average around $600 per month. The answer is in the old build apartments that are rapidly disappearing as new high rise buildings take their place.
The apartments in this building rent from $60 per month to $250 for a two bedroom apartment. Try to find one vacant.
A big shout out to the people who follow me. Unfortunately I’ve had to leave Russia. It became impossible to receive any funds from the US. I am currently living in Batumi, Georgia.
This is my family in the living room of my apartment in Kimovsk, Russia. I am a disabled Vietnam veteran. Seventy six years of age. My son Aleksandr (left), and my granddaughter Dasha (center) look in on me. Here, I had hoped to live out my retirement years.
