As far as comparisons to SE Asia, a lot of those countries have water based alternatives.

And let's not forget Sochi spent 51B on these games. They couldn't find something in tha tbudget to design a modern plumbing system?
A big chunk on security.

So let's run the scenario. What if us westerner's were on the can, and after use we flush the toilet paper down the toilet? What are the repercussions?

Classic. At least the door looks hollow. If it was a solid wood door, that would have been impressive.

If there are additional beds in guests' hotel rooms, they best not touch them or else...

You'll just wait... PRK presently building a luxury ski resort planned for the ruling elite in the widely impoverished state that is under U.N. sanctions, with cross-country and down-hill skiing facilities. PRK even managed to buy 16 ski-lifts and at least 7 snow-cannons (from other end-users) .

Winter Olympics - Here we come! :eek::eek::eek:

I don't know if it's because it's Russia, or you're all just natural pessimists, but I see no reason why the games can't still turn out to be a success. Ditto with the Brazilian World Cup.
Chatter I've heard out of Brazil doesn't sound good for either World Cup or Rio 2016. I'm sure something will get pulled together so that everything more or less happens ala Athens 2004, and the government will round up and inter the suspected criminals so you don't have a repeat of the Pan Am games a few years back when there were problems with spectators getting mugged away from venues.

The toilet talk reminded me of one of the more curious issues the brazilians are having getting the football stadiums ready:
