Wondering about the next Olympics and where they are to be held? Well, here is the schedule:

2008 (summer) Beijing, China
2010 (winter) Vancouver, B.C., Canada
2012 (summer) London, U.K.
2014 (winter) Sochi, Russia

Now where the heck is Sochi, Russia? Is it near Moscow?
Well, I had to research that also. This paragraph is from Wikipedia.org...

"Sochi (Russian: Сочи, IPA: ['soʨɪ]) is a Russian resort city, situated in Krasnodar Krai just north of the southern Russian border. It sprawls along the shores of the Black Sea against the background of the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus Mountains. At 145 km (90 mi), Greater Sochi is claimed to be the longest city in Europe.[1] As of the 2002 Census, it had a population of 328,809, down from 336,514 recorded in the 1989 Census. The city has been selected to host the XXII Olympic Winter Games in 2014.[2]"
