AP: Welcome world, where are you?

Apparently no one except Russians are at the Olympics.. So reports the AP:

So far, though, it seems like the only spectators milling about are Russian.

Dina Kobolenko is waiting for you at her tourist information stand near the Sochi train station, armed with maps of this subtropical resort on the Black Sea. She says that as of two days before the Games, she’d seen only a single foreigner – a South Korean. They couldn’t understand each other, though, so had to communicate in sign language.

Another part of the AP dispatch:





A train traveling between Olympic sites and downtown Sochi cheerily announces to visitors in English: “We wish you a pleasant journey!” But on a recent ride, its seats were half empty. And a sweep through four train cars found … not a single foreign fan.
