Moses Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Very nice and interesting website with over 70 webcams from Sochi - Russian city which hosts 2014 winter Olympic games. There are 35 sightseeing cams and 40 traffic cams. Most cams are HD and streaming 1-10 Mb\sec. Some cams moves and shows 5-15 min live "city tours". http://sochicamera.ru Site is in Russian, so I will comment some cams late. vinapu 1 Quote

Moses Posted February 4, 2014 Author Posted February 4, 2014 One more comment about Olympic games in Sochi in connection with Thailand. Well known Singaporean-Thai-British violinist Vanessa Mae will participate in Olympic Women's giant slalom under her father's name Vanakorn under Thai flag. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thailand_at_the_2014_Winter_Olympics Quote

bkkmfj2648 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Hello Moses, Thanks for sharing this with us. I find it very informative and useful. Plus its nice to know that we don't only have to see the city from our respective local TV stations and that we have another means to see Sochi... Cheers, M. Quote

Alexx Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 A big thanks from me as well! That's great stuff Moses! Quote
kokopelli Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Just for "fun" if you click on the youtube icon and view a number of traffic accidents captured by some of these cameras. Often the traffic is light but still accidents seem to occur for no real reason. Never knew that Russians drive on the "right" side of the road Quote
