time he boards another jet, flies 7 hours east, and lands in the same • country on

Careful though, 7 hours doesn't sound that impressive. Boston to LA • non-stop

Added to that the idea that LA and Boston are on opposite coasts, whereas • Moscow
and the city whonse name I can't remember are not really near the 'outer • edges'

So the 7 hours was 'in country', not even going from 'coast to coast'

True, I was just pointing out that 7 hours by itself isn't impressive. You
need to add the fact that the destination was somewhere in the middle of the
country.
