How about East - West? | ||||||||

Funny. I come from Poland and for us the East/West dichotomy always made sense: the West = Western Europe and US (think richer, more organized, pleasant to visit) vs the East = remains of USSR (poorer, corrupted, wild), the "proper Asian East" behind it and the most exotic "Far East" at the very end. Not very politically correct, but this was a cognitive construct most of us here had in their minds, at least until this decade. | ||||||||

Strangely, most people "Orient" a map with the east on the right hand side and the Occident on the left hand side. | ||||||||
