Pity he was not a lounge member!
A MAN has spent more than two weeks marooned at a Brazilian airport in a bizarre echo of Steven Spielberg's 2004 movie The Terminal. Robert Wladyslaw Parzelski travelled from London to Sao Paulo International Airport on June 17 without a return flight or any cash to his name, according to the Jornal Floripa.
The 44-year-old Polish electrician managed to slip through customs but decided to stay put, bedding down on a concrete bench while he supposedly waited for a friend who never arrived.
Unable to speak a word of Portuguese, Mr Parzelski simply repeated in pidgin English, "I'm Poland" when airport cleaners inquired about his wellbeing.
