The tip for Cyprus's highest mountan could also be "...another planet's"

I feel like in the world's largest continent, home to a majority of its people, you could manage to find enough questions to fill a quiz like this without resorting to questions about a train in Europe. Like, you can argue that Turkiye is mostly a country in Asia and it goes to Turkiye's largest city, or, as you did, that it reaches the "doorstep of Asia"... but I don't think anyone could convincingly argue that its the most deserving question for that spot. Ask about Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower, if you want an 'orient' question.

That Siberian river should be 100%. I mean if you start trying all the letters you'll get there pretty fast.

Is it just me, or does "Omsk" sound like a word that would be used in the same context as "whoops"? Like if I drop something, I would say "Omsk!" It just seems like a word that fits the situation.

Error on South Ossetia, Georgia didn't control it in 2008, it was a de facto independent country since 1991, and Russia didn't capture it, they intervened in an existing war between Georgia and South Ossetia.

The only accurate part of the clue is that something happened in 2008, a more correct wording would be "Russia and Georgia fought in this disputed region" or something along those lines.

Only, they did capture it, since their armed forces gained control of it during conflict

I can't remember a quiz for which travel helped so much. I'd never have gotten Osh, Orchard, or onsen otherwise.
