deviations in sochi


At least one follower of this blog is interested in events in this godforsaken Russian city, but not for another year or so. I read in the Boston Globe that the Russian government, aka Vladimir Putin, is spending over 50 billion dollars on preparations for the Winter Olympics. I hope it works out for them.

More on Deviations From Routines. In a city, the landscape is constantly changing, so routine changes occur more frequently from the perspective of an inhabitant even if that person doesn't deviate from his routines. It makes city living more interesting from an anthropological point of view, but more annoying if you get used to relying on a certain business staying in business.
