Journalists at Sochi are live-tweeting their hilarious and gross hotel experiences

37. Toilet paper in bins isn't corruption. The reporter says that was what was most surprising.

"People have asked me what surprised me the most here in Sochi. It's this. Without question ... it's ... THIS."

If the reporter found that surprising, the reporter hasn't travelled much. Perhaps a little basic research, being that they're a reporter.

The plumbing systems in the former Soviet Union and a few southeastern European countries also were not designed to handle paper. There should be a small waste bin next to the toilet, place used paper in there. If there is no waste bin, then use your tissue paper sparingly, put it in the toilet, and flush it vigorously. Then deny all knowledge of the event.

The bowl-bin dividing line, the "Paper Curtain" if you will, divides the former Soviet Union plus a few of its client states from the west.

Paper goes into the bin, not the bowl, in Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, and anywhere continuing east and south across the former USSR, all of Asia, and the Middle East, and continuing south through Egypt and undoubtedly beyond there through most of Africa.

The state of hotels may be about corruption, but that's not what the article is talking about. The article is posting pictures of "hilarious and gross" hotel rooms and going "ewww".

Maybe you should post an article about corruption.
