9:00 AM: We land in Zurich international airport. Our flight to Boston is in another four hours. To pass the time Itsik teaches us all a new card game – “Yaniv”. We play on the floor of our boarding gate. The other passengers glance at us with enviously: they never had the chance to play this little-known card game, a variant of rummy in which you spit before you pick and where the least valued hand wins the game (I lost by a very wide margin).
