Would you go to the Olympics this year, if you had the means?

I have zero desire to ever visit Russia.

 

If I had the means this year, then hopefully I'd still have the means for Brazil, summer 2016.

Absolutely + I know someone in them. But I'm actually planning to go to the 2016 Olympics and I think Brazil in the summer will be MUCH nicer than Russia in the winter. :D

Speaking of that, has anyone ever been to the Olympics before? If so, do you have advice?

I have no desire to attend any Olympics. I remember when they were trying to entice them to come to Cincinnati and was already planning on taking vacation and staying away until they left!

In the Chechyn region, you gotta have stones or a death wish.

I wouldn't go if it was free, much less spend money to go.

.........

 

To answer the question, YES, absolutely.

 

Additionally, calling Sochi "Russia in the winter" is a real stretch. I don't think many people are aware, but Sochi has a very similar climate to Greece and Istanbul...in fact, it was 63 there today. It is one of the prettiest places on Earth, but truly, about the last place that should be hosting the Winter Olympics. There are about 1,000 articles worldwide about whether or not Sochi is too warm for the Olympics, how different the conditions will be, and if it will even be too warm for their snow-making machines.

 

In terms of avoiding the "bloodshed" and "multi attacks", if you start living in fear of that, they win. I'd be no more concerned about that in Sochi than I would be at the Super Bowl or the World Cup.

The Navy has warships ready to remove Americans from Sochi.. At the Super Bowl they check your bag.

I would. It would be a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Heck no.

 

I'll just watch from Alaska.

 

:lol: Will you and Sarah be watching together?
