Well now we have all of this on top of the concerns about the contaminated water, so it seems like we are in for an interesting experience with these upcoming olympics.  There was a big campaign here about the water there, and I am not sure what is being done about it, if anything, but I do know that it is causing quite a stir and people are not happy.  Of course it all comes down to money though, so I am guessing not much will happen.
