1. I'm a little confused here

A few weeks ago, there were multiple posts here about the games were going to be a failure, because foreign visitors were afraid of ICE and weren't coming, ticket sales were very weak, because they were too expensive, and hotels were all going vacant.

Now I'm hearing that the big crowds were causing transportation issues, and I've seen scores of videos from foreign visitors expressing what a fantastic experience it was and how much they enjoyed their visit to the US. They have been raving about the cuisine, visiting places like Buccee's and how friendly the American's are.
