From Russia with Love



I wait in the departure lounge at Helsinki airport and suddenly reality dawns.  I am waiting for a flight that is going to take me to the land of mysticism and intrigue.  As I board the airbus to take us to the plane I look around at the unfamiliar faces, expressions that i've never seen collectively before.  A fusty smell lingers between the frozen figures and as I inhale deeper the faint scent of vodka clings to my nostrils.  The stereotypes fit and there was no doubt that our final destination was the motherland, and I could hear it calling.
