Pre-Olympic Sochi: zombie animals and twin WC pans (photo)
Journalists and local volunteers are taking pictures of the colourful atmosphere of the Olypmics-2014.
Over $50 billion has been invested in the Sochi Olympic Games. However, photos reveal the originality of the project.

The organizers promised to translate all the dishes into English and indicate the number of calories in them.
The dish Cakes in ass. People say that it is tasty.
A volunteer came to have a snack in a local fast-food restaurant but couldn’t order anything.
Animals
Olympic zombie bear.
Souvenir Siberian Tiger. Some people were surprised at the Russian animal’s sexiness.
Stray dogs near volunteers. The animals like the Olympics-2014: no need to buy tickets, free tasty meals.
Architectural innovations
Famous builders from Middle Asia were invited to build Sochi Olympic objects. This is the original result of their work.
No one can understand the mysterious Russian soul. Even Belarusians cannot get why rich Russians are covering marble with tile.
The rubbish is still there a few days before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. It looks Postmodern-ish. It is meant to be so?
Toilets
Sochi Olympics zest – twin WC pans without any barriers. The organizers explained it by having no time to install railings for the handicapped. Two WC pans are there to give a choice to them.
People are asked not to wash toilet paper down the WC pan. Americans and Canadians were surprised. Overseas WC pans are the same as Boeing WC pans –toilet paper cannot get stuck in the pipe there.

Russian decoration work
Air conditioner wire with a painting in the background.
Radiators right under the ceiling. Visitors won’t be able to steal them.
CNN journalist Harry Reekie is disappointed. Germans were very tidy in the WWII. Where did it bring them, Harry?
A normal seaside running track is too boring for Russia. An obstacle course with open manholes suits the local style better.
Clean laundry
A note for Sochi inhabitants.
Sportsmen also do the laundry and have to find ways to dry their underwear.
Other peculiarities
These are not urine samples. Journalist Stacey St Claire photographed tap water in her hotel room.
Strange road signs.
Military machines guard the Olympic village.
The Soviet tradition of painting the grass.
