Where did you get this, if I may ask? :p 

 

I might use it on a Dutch website to update an article about the Australians moving out of the Village because of unliveable conditions :) 

 

found it. here a article.

 

shortly:

everything is fine we have 25 rooms for our team and all are ok. there any problem and we are very happy with our location because we are only 30 metres of the Dining room and 100-150 metres of the transport junction from where the athletes will travel to the different venues.

The news about Czechs living with us is unofficial, but apparently correct.

Problems according to the head of the Dutch team as well: "There are tons of problems we could not have expected....everything is leaking, water and gas mains are broken, electricity cabels are still out in the open and the toilets simply don't flush (like when something is stuck in it)."

 

Dutch technical personell is apparently helping to fix a huge amount of problems. "We have hope that the things can be fixed in time, but it's going to be a huge challenge."

That room looks perfectly fine too me. Some media will write anything to make hosts looks bad.:facepalm:

 

Agreed.  There are some major problems with Rio and those deserve more attention (in hopes of improvement in the future, i.e. polluted water).

    • KHL launches 3x3 championships with 8 teams, it starts on 19th December and finishes in July
    • I remember when I was a child and I was on holiday with my parents in Tunisia, I think in 1999? We were on a trip to the desert near the border with Algeria. The guide said something like that: Algeria is a few minutes from here but we won't go there because there is a war going on there and it's not safe.
    • Netanyahu is bad but unfortunately Hamas helps him maintain power. Every attack they make is a reinforcement of Netanyahu's rhetoric about the country's security, etc. In the fall of 2023, Netanyahu was already losing support and then suddenly a big Hamas attack on a festival near the Gaza Strip. Coincidence? It wouldn`t surprise me at all if Netanyahu knew about the plan for this attack but did nothing so that he would then have the tools to maintain his power. I also remember Ariel Sharon - he was probably even more radical than Netanyahu but he had a brain hemorrhage and fell into a coma.
    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
