    might well be so, the Turks were hand in glove with the Western mass media.

    Absolutely lovely. :clapping: I gather the cabins will be a permanent fixture, rather than just temporary accommodations for the atheletes?

    The scenery around Sochi certainly is spectacular. I was watching the Ladies X-Country Skiathlon over the weekend and the views were breathtaking. The downhill course is awesome, too.

    The opening ceremony was very nice, as well - the light show in the stadium was phenomenal.

    All in all, the Sochi Games have been wonderful. :beer:

    Something interesting occurred with the food. A plane loaded with five thousand Chiobani yoghurts couldn't leave the airport in the U.S. because they didn't have the right papers. The U.S. complained about the athletes not having all their nourishment, but it was all a bunch of propaganda nonsense. First of all, yoghurt is a staple in that part of the world, so they could have bought local yogurt rather than importing it from the U.S., or they could have given them real Greek yoghurt from Greece instead of Chiobani.

    By calling Chiobani Greek yoghurt they are deceiving the American people since it is not Greek. The Greek government has a battle in court right now over the name. For whatever reason, Russia did the right thing. :oldman:

    Putin would be proud of your ability to make excuses. ;)
