Yesterday after 2.5 weeks we finally received the elusive bag, sent via freight, from Brisbane airport. This particular story is one of Russian bureaucracy as for 2 weeks we have been lead on a wild goose chase. Phone calls to and from Brisbane and Vladivostok, being flick passed from public servant to public servant and finally arguing over fees were all part of the fun in claiming the elusive bag. I don't know how any foreigners survive in here. It's hard enough when everyone speaks the same language.
