Sochi Olympics

Watching Sochi Olympics for the past 2-3 days and I must tell it is amazing.
I mean this is the first time I am watching the Winter Olympics and I must salute the human race. How they are able to think about something like this. I mean an event like a global event in snow.
Contrary to what may be imagined by the naive folk, it is not freezing or snowing in the event. Rather the snow is "managed".
A 'snow environment' is created, it is helpful if the area has snow which is naturally occurring in the host place.
Trust me people it is all new for me. Having lived in peninsula India for my whole life, it is great for me to watch this.
I mean occasionally I have seen ice hockey on TV, but there won't be an event bigger than Olympics I feel.
And I must reveal. I have never seen snow in my entire life. I have not even seen a 'snow capped mountain' with my own eyes, never, ever (except in photos or video). I also have not seen desert. The plains of India and hills and hillocks sans snow is all I have seen.
