For some reason, I have to think twice about the east & west directions

when looking at a map of Europe. Can't explain it, so I asked AI: Trouble with East and West in Europe stems from mixing geographical reality with enduring historical (Cold War) definitions, combined with general human difficulty visualizing left/right horizontal directions. That doesn't really help me much, but I'm curious if this is an issue with others, or just a Tank thing.

Directions can be confusing. Especially if you're heading to Aspen.
