our eastern europe starts were it ends for others

says AUA, Austrian Airlines, in one of their advertisments. Since I was invited to chair a conference (:-) yes, i cannot stop with that) in Russia - Novosibirsk I made a test (if you don't know were Novosibirsk lies, it's in Siberia, north-east to Kazakhstan, near the Ob river - or just click here)

A(ustrian Airlines Lady): This is Austrian Airlines, what can I do for
you?
P(eter): I read your advertisment - so where does your Eastern Europe
end?
A: Well, we fly to nearly all cities in Eastern Europe and Russia
P: Good, so let's see: what about Novosibirsk
A: No, we don't fly to Novosibirsk. It doesn't have an airport.
P: Are you sure? It's the third biggest city in Russia.
A: Hm, I don't know then, but we for sure don't fly to this place

Having found out that I got even more excited to go there...
