The BBC’s Steve Rosenberg is already in Sochi, Russia for the 2014 Winter Olympics, beginning in just a few weeks, and he stumbled upon something rather odd in the new construction for the Olympics. A love toilet.
The Russians have spent a record $50 billion preparing for the Olympics, with reports suggesting that anywhere from 1/3 to over half the money has been stolen by corrupt officials. So perhaps it’s no surprise that someone built a toilet-for-two.
I still have to wonder what possessed someone to build this. Then again, considering how behind construction has been at Sochi – they still don’t have the hotels ready – perhaps they got paid per toilet, and some enterprising thief came up with this unique solution to double his pay. Who knew corruption could be so cozy?!
