Great idea with the ship name. Was just gonna add mine, and saw someone did it for me! Awesome!

Sochi Bonspiel
 

I will be in Sochi Feb 10 - Feb 21 at Yozh Hostel, in Sochi, not Adler. If I don't mess up the invitation and visa. Failed once already at the Istanbul Russian consulate. They would only take applications from residents. I am resident in Canada - but was only there during the ice storm season once the 45 day visa application window started, and near Edmonton, far from any consulate. They hadn't heard of the simplified process where you get a same day visa at the "Olympic Window". I live in Uzbekistan, with diplomatic accreditation, but am I a "resident" in Russian eyes? Going to talk to my travel agent today to find out if I need to ship my passport to Ottawa.

Mostly watching curling (my cousin coaches Switzerland women) and have 2 tickets for the terrorist event of the year -- the USA - RUS hockey game.

Hope to see you there.

Sochi 2014 Olympics DO
 

I can't access the wiki as I am on a tablet, but my accom will be in Loo, just north of sochi. I still have no clue about my shifts, but I fly out tomorrow! (couple days in Turkey 1st) Please get in touch if you want a random dinner companion!

Where are you volunteering? That looks like quite a commute from either of the venue clusters.

Yeah, it appears as though it will be quite the trek ... my roll as it stands is something to do with Medal Ceremonies which is somewhere in the Olympic Plaza, not the Mountain Cluster thankfully! Not exactly clear what, nor what shifts I'll be working ... could be indoors, more likely outdoors ... totally in the dark! :)

Pin shopping
 

Is there anyone going pin shopping that might be able to pick up a few for me? Please PM if you can help.

Safe travels.

If any one does make it to the Olympic Park, please come look for me at the Medal Plaza - I'll be at a gate. Entrance, exit, security control point. Easy to I'd as I always have a Canada tattoo of some kind on my face! Work nights this week (not Wed).

Hope everyone who makes it here has a good time!

I looked for you on Friday afternoon ~4pm before I went up to the mountains for the ski jump but I suppose it was too early. Keep up the good work.
