Welcome Russia!

Day -679. WorldCup2018
I thought it was time for another check of the welcome2018 website,the Russia 2018 tourist portal, to find out the latest in Russia's preparations for the World Cup visitors.
"The resort town of Svetlogorsk in Kaliningrad region is planning to finish a new promenade by the time World Cup 2018 arrives to Russia."
"A 2018 World Cup-themed tournament held at Nizhny Novgorod festival."
"Russia's largest water park to be constructed in Moscow region."
"Stamping ceremony for 2018 World Cup post stamp held in Kazan"
I do wonder if this website was set up a tad too early. This may be just me, voicing an uniformed opinion, but who knows yet that they are going to be visiting Russia for the World Cup and, if they did know (who is lucky enough to plan that far ahead) would they really be taking the time to read tourist info already. Visas and hotels maybe, but not promenades, water parks and stamps. I can imagine that in early 2018 many people will be looking for good information about going to Russia and hopefully this official tourist portal will have some practical information.
Ah well. That all turned out to be a lot more serious sounding than it was in my head. I'm not re-writing it now. It is what is. I read the welcome2018 website right now for the entertainment and amusement value. Maybe that's mean and unfair.
But it's funny...
