View Larger MapAlthough Vancouver doesn’t start for another 14 days, it’s not too early to start thinking about the 2014 Olympics, especially if you would like to go. The 2014 Olympics will be held in Sochi, Russia.

Now if you are like I was the first time I heard of this, I had no clue where Sochi was. Sochi is located in Western Russia, off the Baltic Sea. What surprised me the most about this location is that it is a subtropical location. They’re having problems with the snow in Vancouver… why in the world would they hold the Winter Olympics in a subtropical city? It makes no sense to me. I guess there is a ski resort located in the Caucasus mountains. Let’s just hope this subtropical location has snow in four years.

The Sochi Olympics will start on February 7th, 2014, so in exactly four years, the athletes will be competing. While I’m sure that there will be plenty of English speakers there, there’s still plenty of time to learn Russian before the Olympics.
