Listing Fails or Sochi Problems?

When journalists descended on Sochi last week before the 22nd Olympic Winter Games, many took to Twitter to express their dismay at the state of their hotel rooms. While their conditions are hardly ideal – yellow water, bees in the honey, and more- they are certainly providing entertainment for audiences back home.

While most of us are probably feeling thankful that we’re in the US, where there is clear water, working doors, and toilets that flush the paper, here at VHT Studios, we see a lot of terrible listing photos. And looking at all these photos of Sochi hotel room fails is giving us a bit of Déjà vu.
