Have to make this quick. Arrived Helsinki yesterday afternoon. Went straight to cargo to watch crates loaded onto trucks. Then was driven to city center, where our Hotel is. Right across from the train station designed by Eero Sarinen (sp??). City is very nice. Took a good walk around and took lots of pictures. Due to short visit, left all five Helsinki cdrs in one little place...the entrance to a very nice looking cafe. Then last night, we were taken to dinner at a real Finnish place, a restaurant specializing in traditional foods from Lapland, Finland’s northern region, where we at lots of smoked reindeer meat and fish roe, etc. Very good.
I’m sad to leave Helsinki. More from Moscow.

Soooooo, any _other_ news....?
Come on... didn't you get an email from one of your Shanghai drops?
It's Saarinen, neophyte. You should know because he also designed Dulles Airport which is in your back yard.
thanks for busting my chops, peter. actually train station was by saarinen's father....and sorry for misspelling....i only typed that post in about 2min off the top of my NEOPHYTE head. cut me some slack. i just rode for 32 hrs in a bus from helsinki-moscow.

And remember, in Moscow his NEOPHYTE head will be 20% larger.
