Thanks Probe. I got the diarrhea when I visited as well. I donīt know if it was swimming in a public pool or the fried jellyfish
My situation is probably quite different than yours though. I am a low-timer. The company will provide me with type rating and living quarters. If I "fail" the medical after 2 years, I will still have earned quite a few hours, which is everything that counts at the moment.
Off course family ties are the strongest, but as I am a friend of the family and even lived at my future bossīs home during my first visit, I feel pretty good about the whole thing.
