Fo those wondering why I posted this on Sochi, I wanted to get information about Sochi for a Quiz I was writing for FunTrivia. It is my 3rd one up so far. I am working on a number of other ones and may even mention TOTV in one.

Not sure if Sochi would be on my top 100 places to visit before I die unless I were also going to the Winter Olympics or the 2018 FIFA World Cup matches. And, I did not get anywhere with the Russian language when I tried studying it at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.

Suddenly Sochi Quiz - Russia

My scores on some things would not suggest that. You really test your coordination and quick retrieval knowledge on FunTrivia even if most of these are multiple choice questions.

I also have a quiz on The Monuments Men a book by Robert M. Edsel on allied soldiers who tried to find art stolen by the Nazis mainly from rich Jewish people as well as from museums, schools, etc. from areas occupied by the Germans. http://www.funtrivia.com/quizdetails...&ref=Taltarzac

The Monuments Men is also a movie coming out in late December of 2013 starring George Clooney, Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, John Goodman, Bill Murray and others. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monuments_Men_(film)

I was in Sochi several years ago and the only thing I remember is the traffic, the huge apartment buildings and the number of health spas. So sad that that's it for memories. We did visit a tea plantation somewhere near Sochi that was amazingly beautiful, though.
