We're talking about a proposed five year wet lease. For a five year wet lease, why live in a hotel? That looks more like two back to back contracts to me. In a country with a western lifestyle, food, drink and all the normal comforts of home. For our guys roughing it up in Kathmandu with Maoist guerillas knocking at the door, handsome allowances seem reasonable, but not for a five year tour of duty in a paragon of civilisation.
