Also- this comment in regards to Pyeongchang's ability to potentially host the 2014 Winter Olympics is amusing - "Although an International Olympic Committee evaluation team complimented the area on levels of public support, government support, and infrastructure in February 2007,[2] Pyeongchang is not a popular tourist destination for foreign skiers, snow machines are heavily relied on due to South Korea's dry winter climate, most slopes in the area's two ski resorts are relatively short, amenities and entertainment facilities in the surrounding area are relatively undeveloped, and "the runs are blocked off in a way that it is tough to find a place to take a mid-slope pee in the woods," causing some to question Pyeongchang's ability to successfully host the Winter Olympics.[3]"
This really explains everything. Sochi appears to be pretty damn available for pissing and puking in non-toilet areas. They'll even give you runs-inducing water and pictorials!

lol, but.....Pyeongchang is hosting the 2018 games. Good call, IOC!
I think the IOC has finally acknowledged that people don't care nearly as much about the Winter Games, and has consequently stopped putting in any effort whatsoever.
Yeah I saw this. It is making me really glad that we are staying on one of the cruise ships that were brought in and not in the hotels.
Yeah, I'm going to need you to provide some first hand information.
Are these journalists just being dramatic? Or is shit really that bad?
(As of now, I truly think shit is really that bad, but I'm interested to hear from someone who is just attending as a spectator, instead of a journalist who might get extra screen time because of their reports on how bad things are)
I'm not there yet and things may change by the time I get there since I'm going towards the end of the games, but I will definitely give some first hand accounts.

Well, some of the tweets contain pictures so.. I'm gonna go with shit's really that bad.
I think the "dangerous" part of it is that it has face-melting properties.
That shit looks radioactive.
It looks much worse than rust in the pipes or something...especially since these joints are brand new. So, so nasty.
I heard another story that I can't find of a foreign contractor arriving and leaving almost immeadiately when he realized it had almost no chance of being completed in time and didn't want his name associated plus he wasn't going to be paid if he did stay. Which probably explains why a lot of things aren't done now. He can't be the only one.
No, I think it's just $51 billion. If it's $51 billion OVER that better be some Hunger Games style arenas with mutts and flaming fireballs and 10 million cameras. Because holy shit.
You're right. Total is $51b, which is 4 times over the original budget.
