Has this man actually been to Sochi? The mountains, with guaranteed snow, are only a few miles away from the “Mediterranean” shore. I had a wonderful time. For one thing the people there are good looking, actually very good looking, slim, educated Russians and people from the Caucasus. I have to emphasise the word slim and good-looking, so to someone arriving from, say New York where ugliness, fat thighs and posteriors and loud voices are the norm, Socho would be like a breath of fresh air. And obviously the food must be good and healthy to keep them that way.

good morning, You write some very good blogs. I always check back here often to see if you have updated. Has everyone been following the Olympics? I found a funny olympics Blooper video on youtube that shows what happens when an athlete pushes it too hard, check it out, it will make you laugh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Phw_pGC4kE

Sorry to break it to you ignorant people. But Sochi would be a Brilliant place to host the 2014 Winter Olympics. I am from Canada and lived in Russia for five years. Sochi is by far a better place to host the Winter Olympics then here (where I am right now) in British Columbia where it is more likely to rain then anything. Sochi is guaranteed to have real snow, although the weather is very nice there, in the winter, there is a definite snowfall. Being hassled, if you are that afraid, then do not go. They do not like ignorant people, and will not have a hard time telling you that either. When I lived in Russia you barely saw anyone with a shaved head. So maybe you should get your ignorance over there and see it for yourself.

Izvinite razorvat’ ego k vam nevezhestvennikh liudej. No Sochi budut udivitel’nie mesta provedeniya zimnej Olimpiadi 2014 goda. Ya iz Kanadi i zhil v Rossii v techenie pyati let. Sochi yablyaetcya camim luchshim mestom na provedenie zimnikh Olimpijckikh igr, to zdes’ (gde ya sejchac) v Britanskoj Kolumbii, gde ona, skoree vsego, dozhd’ to nichego. Sochi garantirovano imet’ peal’nij sneg, khotya pogoda ochen’ priyatno tam, v zimnee vremya, sushchestvut opredelennaya snegopada. Buduchi bespokoila, esli ty, chto boish’cya, to ne nado idti. Oni ne liubyat nevezhestvennie liudi, i ne budet imet’ zhestkij vremya govoryat, chto libo. Kogda ya zhil v Rossii, vy edva uvidel liubomu s britoj golovoj. Poatomu, vozmozhno, vy dolzhni poluchit’ vashe nevezhestvo tam i uvidet’ ego dlya sebya.

For those of you that have never been there, there is snow on the mountains almost year around. In the winter, there will definitely be snow. And I guess those of you that don’t think so are smarter than the Olympic committee. Maybe you can get a job there or become the unofficial consultant. I hear they will die for some moron advice.
See you in Sochi that is if you are not scared of getting hassled. But then again, some people will always get hassled (see above post).

Great, another sleepy soviet era backwater where you could never go as a bourgeoisie American without getting hassled will now become a thug-infested playland for Russia criminal elite where Americans won’t be able to go because they will be priced out. Unless they are a thug like the Russians and have connections in drug running, backroom oil deals and prostitution. Oh, just to play it safe, make sure to shave your head and act like an asshole while your there if you don’t want to attract any attention. Russia: from feudalism to communism to runaway robber baron free market economics. I think they skipped a step or five.

Hey guys! Maybe a swift look in Google Earth (or just a map) and you’ll see some spectacular mountain ranges. Sochi is just at the foot of it.

I had no idea that the 2014 Winter Olympics site had even been chosen. What a lovely
place to have the Winter Games!! I wonder how they will bring the skiers and speed skaters
to that place for cmpetition..I have a great idea..why not have the figure and speed skating
competitions outdoors? Like they did at the Grenoble Winter Games back in the 1960s.
It’s interesting that Putin and Bush will be there in a couple of week..I hope
we see some great photo ops.
