Can Rio Pull it Off?

I am talking about the Olympics :) So many articles today swathed their focus to Rio 2016 now that London 2012 is over and the results vary from positive to negative. Just try googling "Rio 2016 are they ready" and you will see what I am talking about.

What do I think? Well I fall mostly with the negative view point at this moment in time. I whiteness first hand the lack of progress to the city of Rio on a daily basis. Heck, the guys downstairs have been working on the fountain in front of my condo since January and still can't manage to get it working. How are they supposed to pull off the Olympics?

A few days ago we drove buy the Olympic Village and they have broke ground but nothing else is done. The site where golf will be held is less than 2 miles from my house and they have yet to break ground. A promising feature though is that a sign defining the area as Olympic Golf hangs at the bus station. Let's hope it doesn't have to move to an already existing golf course.

Construction to the highways and main artery streets still progresses without providing any relief to the already congested roads. The huge 1 billion US dollar performing arts center has yet to be completed after at least 5 years of construction.

All these things leave me dreading the Rio Olympics. I hope that they prove me wrong.

Tchau,
