    They haven't even built the rooms yet. The squat toilets will never be.

      So Sochi is turning out how western reporters were hoping Beijing would be like.

        You'd think the Russians of all people could figure out how to build a Potemkin village

          Reg, the whole point of a potemkin village is that there ain't anything there. This seems to fit the bill.

              For $50billion, one would hope to get more.

                Someone said they paid $54 for two beers and a turkey sandwich. I'm not sure why they bought beer.

                  Try typing Sebastopol in google maps, for example, or Dnepropetrovsk, Herson, Nikolaev, if you really want to see one of those "villages" nowadays. The Crimea was nothing, but thinly populated wilderness, before the Russians took in from the Ottomans. And everything you can see there now, is Potemkin and Catherine the Great legacy. Every goddamn city. And Dnepropetrovsk is Ukraine's 4th largest city. Nice "village", my ass. Just for Americans - Ukraine is the largest country in Europe (after Denmark and Russia of course and I'm not kidding about Denmark, guess why, Gringo?).

                  Potemkin villages is nothing, but a historical myth (created after his death). But, since you are an American it's normal that you don't know a sh!t about real history.

                      That reminder note was obviously for our dear American guests, since we all know how they have broken toilets in one of the Saddam's palaces.

                              None of the cities you listed exist in Russian Rails, so I'm guessing you just made them all up.

                                At least you took your knowledge from board games, not comics like Collider.
