Seeing Sochi

The Sochi Olympics are a few days away still but members of the media are slowly making their way over to Russia and are making...interesting discoveries about the living situations at the Games.

Here are some of my favorites.

BBC correspondent Steve Rosenberg tweeted a few pictures of the interesting bathroom arrangement in Sochi. Closed quarters, that's for sure.

Also, if you find yourself inside one of the washrooms, make sure you abide by the rules in this picture tweeted out by Canadian snowboarder Sebastien Toutant:

 

No toilet fishing. Or stabbing yourself with a weapon.

If you plan on using water, it's a bit of a lose-lose situation at some places. On one hand, there could be no water. On the other side, the water could be very dangerous as Chicago Tribune reporter Stacy St. Clair found out:

My hotel has no water. If restored, the front desk says, "do not use on your face because it contains something very dangerous." #Sochi2014

Water restored, sorta. On the bright side, I now know what very dangerous face water looks like. #Sochi #unfiltered pic.twitter.com/sQWM0vYtyz

It's certainly a few interesting looks inside this year's Olympics.
