Sochi isn't ready

Um, this was two weeks ago.....


This Hotel had no water, until it was restored....... Instructions were not to use the water on your face as it had something very dangerous in it. 


You can't flush toilet paper down the toilet....... 


And trips over there are going disastrously
Bruce Arthur of the National Post is in Sochi. He wrote a round-up of travel nightmares from journalists. The best tidbits: 

Journalist Joerg Reuter found construction workers sleeping in his bed. When he was moved to a different room, there was a stray dog in it. 

The Ekaterininsky Kvartal hotel has no elevator. 

Brian Cazeneuve of Sports Illustrated had to leave his room through a window because all the doors are stuck locked. 

One of the twin beds in a journalist’s room was covered in semen when they arrived. 

One journalist was told he will not get a shower curtain. Deadspin also has a round-up of travel nightmares: hotels without electricity, hotels without lobbies, hotels without hot water, etc. more
WTF has happened to the $50billion?
