John Steinbeck called Batumi a "very pleasant little tropical city" after a 1948 visit there, but he would not recognize it now. There's a water park and countless neon-lit fountains that burble in sync with songs like "Pretty Woman" and "Somewhere over the Rainbow." The town centerpiece is a long promenade with 800 palm trees, sleek benches designed in Valencia, Spain, and an artificial river lit neon blue. Working through the night, workers built the place in three months. Construction unions, Saakashvili joked, would...
