Yes!! Someone picks up the phone!! A voice says, "Hello, this is Tim speaking. " YES!! I'm saved! A wave of relief washes over me.

It's too cumbersome to tell in detail what happened next. But after a few phone calls by Tim, and me calling Tim back each time (costing me Rs30-40 per call, and each time my Asian stingy mind instinctively crying out in protest until I remember that this is getting me out of the airport, and it's only AUD$3), Phil and Pierre are now on their way over to pick me up.
