study abroad newsflash

I hear about what is going on with the study abroad program in Siberia primarily via urgent text messages from Yulia, the woman on the ground. Today's announced that one of the students had been in a bus accident, but was ok, but with a sore back and asked me to call the insurance to confirm procedures. 

I called to follow up with her and it turns out the student was injured not so much by the car crashing into the bus he was on, but by the humungous Russian man who fell on him as a result of the car crashing into the bus. Hope we are covered for that...
