Sochi is one of the most beautiful cities I
have seen so far. Mountain, forests, sea, and beach!!! What else do you need!!!
We went to the city center by Lastochka electric train. Lastochka trains was
unveiled Russian Railways which has a capacity of 800 passengers and can run a
maximum speed of 160KM/hour.

Any way went to the city center with my
colleagues. We had to take a local bus to get to a local supermarket. I was
expecting to use any public transport without paying as I did in London. But unfortunately
it was not the case. We had to pay for using local transport!!! But not every
time. You have to carry cash if you want to use any public transport. Paying by
bank cards/electronic card is not usual.

Anyway we went to a big market and had some
food and came home late. Had an awesome day.

Anna informed me that we will have our
venue specific training on next morning. We decided to meet at the dining area
next morning to have our breakfast and go from there.

Next morning after having breakfast we went
to the Olympic Village for our training. First of all we had our venue
specific training then functional training. At the venue specific training it was
almost as identical as the one we had for London 2012 Olympic Games.

At the role specific training they showed
us what we will be doing during the games. We had few international volunteers

translate. It was a great day as well.
