With the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, I have found myself marveling at how hilarious the world is. (Also did you see the opening ceremony? Because if you didn't you should find it somewhere and watch it- in my opinion it kicked London's butt [because let's be real, the London opening/closing ceremonies were pretty weird at times])
First of all, there's the hashtag #SochiProblems on twitter that is filled to the brim with hilarious stories of reporters, athletes, and tourists having some... issues... in their journey to and stay in Sochi, from hotel rooms with no floors to bathrooms with toilets multiple toilets facing each other. Here's a few of my favorite gems:
Funnily enough, all my posting about the Olympics on my tumblr blog has led to some interesting (though mostly unintelligent) conversations about some of the stuff going on in Russia in general and Sochi in particular. The entire experience has enforced my theory that on any given topic discussed on the internet, there is a 75% idiocy ratio, but the remaining 25% of intelligent conversation will be totally worth it. Plus, I now have a new internet friend who lives in Lipetsk!
