Flying from Beijing to Helsinki is confusing because you end up with 24 hours of daylight to begin with. Then you get to Finland and the sun refuses to set much anyway and you realise the next 9 days will be nightless.
Walking around a Finish supermarket today i had the most preculiar feeling of being at home and completely not at home at the same time. It reassuring to see fruit without worm holes in it and loads of food on the shelves, but it makes you wonder if it really is all necessary. It's weird to be back somewhere normal. It feels like a bit of a cop-out really. It's so easy.
Finland constitutes our three day holiday. Then we will do some "work" here and head into Russia next week. Work will be talking to a Finish youth group, packing some humanitarian stuff for Russian prisons and helping out at a Christian conference. Very very excitingly, Lucia is coming to visit on Sunday.
