Journalists At Sochi Are Live-Tweeting Their Hilarious And Gross Hotel Experiences


Amid continued debate over whether or not Sochi is prepared to host the 2014 Olympics, which begins Thursday, reporters from around the world are starting to check into local hotels — to their apparent grief. Some journalists arriving in Sochi are describing appalling conditions in the housing there, where only six of nine media hotels are ready for guests. Hotels are still under construction. Water, if it’s running, isn’t drinkable. One German photographer told the AP over the weekend that his hotel still had stray dogs and construction workers wandering in and out of rooms.

This Olympics is very very scary. Do not have a good feeling about it at all and if the pictures are any indication, wow, our Olympians are in trouble. Don't think it will be a very good experience for them.

Journalists might as well go back home, no one is interested this crap Olympics. This will probably one of the lowest viewed Olympics ever.

Not flushing toilet paper is not uncommon in other countries. So if these so called journalists can't handle the cultural difference it makes me wonder what other stories are being told simply because thy just don't get it .
