Is central Europe ever even used outside the context of coping about being is eastern Europe?
Central Europe is really a thing, but I only realized it when I went to Poland.
One map I like is this one. Show the differences between central and eastern Europe.
I'm more in the Slavoj Žižek school of though where everything under the English Channel is the balkans.
I dunno, I'm in Estonia and I have been to Poland, it's pretty eastern European round here.
Everything that was in soviet sphere after WW2 has eastern European vibes to this day, sadly. Things get better over time, but those 40 years of oppression will be hard to fix completely.
Are you Chinese or Japanese?
I’m Laotian
The ocean?
I am going off of memory and hopefully not butchering it, but it’s one of my favorite exchanges in American comedy.
My favorite part is how Cotton Hill, despite being the most racist of them all, immediately correctly recognized him as Laotian because he fought in SE Asia in WWII.
Kahn immediately recognizes this isn't your average, everyday, ignorant redneck racism.
This is advanced racism.
Isnt the whole East/West Europe mostly used for cold war designations? Thats why Czechia is in the "East" and Cyprus is the "West". Well not really but kinda.
No worries, everyone makes mistakes. Greetings from Chechnya. You might remember it as Chechnyaslovenia, that was before the split in '93.
