Fark!!!

That is not good!

Why can’t he come home?

a number of reasons I suppose….
1. it was such a drama getting in there, getting out is just as hard. Even with insurance.
2. always at events like this, payment is done after the event, and the cost of getting there comes out of your own pocket, sometimes reimbursed later. In this case, i.e. Sochi altogether, the payment is apparently made into a Russian bank account that they set up for you without your knowledge…. Azz heard this on the radio, its not from BIL…  for some events, World Cup in SA for example, I heard they were still chasing payment months later.
3. will coming back serve much purpose for the dad? I think a wait and see approach is happening. If he recovers, the family has been told to expect major changes in personality etc. :(

I just thought from what you said he wanted to come home. Understand its a hard decision to make even if its easy to leave.

this whole payment thing is terrible. That guy I posted the blog on he suspects he was not going to get paid. One of the reason he lift and didn’t do any work for them.

He’s coming home.
I got the payment thing wrong…. He has been PRE-PAID for this job, (into Australian Bank account) now has to pay it all back, and it is unclear if there is any travel insurance as it was to have been covered by the Olympic Broadcaster, who can’t find any policy.
Either way, docs have called the family together.

Glad he was able to come home.
