Not where (and when) he's going.

Yes.

Apart from that, I'll only say that I would have thought the least I could expect from prolific puzzlers as yourselves was that you didn't ask already answered questions.

I don't know about you but I can't and will never consider Russia as an European country. Some part, geographically, is in the European continent. But like 75% is in Asia. And since we all live in a democracy (at least I do... ;D), the majority wins so, it's Asian for me...  :P

If the majority wins, then it's Europe, seeing as some 70% of russian population is in Europe ;)

In reality though, most Russians I know state that they're not Europe and they're definitely not Asia. They're Russia :D
It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

I have never before heard of anybody who calls Russia an Asian country. I would consider it mainly European, as it traditionally is firmly linked, geographically and politically, to Eastern Europe, and as its capital lies firmly within what is normally, by most, considered the borders of Europe. The most common definition of Europe's easterly border is the Ural mountains - which would mean that almost 50% of Russia, even geographically, is European.

If that doesn't answer your question: No, it's not from a Russian manufacturer...

50% of Russia is in Europe. But Russia is too almost 50% of Asia... Whatever...

Nonetheless, maybe American?

It seems a good night's sleep was what you needed. Your assumption is correct!
