New Delhi Commonwealth Games

I know it's a stretch, but today I'm going to talk about the Athlete's Village in New Delhi.

Have you heard about this? Just a couple of days to go before the Commonwealth Games start, and the athlete's housing is uninhabitable. The contractors are clearly having trouble with the monsoonal weather that they're having, but wow, there just looks to be mud everywhere!

It's understandable why many countries are delaying their departure. Apparently there has been an improvement to the conditions, however journalists are not allowed into the village, so we have to rely on leaked photographs, such as the ones above.

I've been hearing about this. I heard that India was so keen to show the rest of the world how the country has progressed - but not in the monsoon.

That's really unfortunate. I don't envy those contractors one bit.
