Well, people consider Hungary to be in Eastern Europe, but it actually is in Central Europe, and so is Poland.

I use "Eastern Europe" when I am referring to Hungary only because people typically think that Hungary is in Eastern Europe. Perhaps I should stop doing that and just use "Central Europe", since it is them who are incorrectly believing it is in Eastern Europe.

I think some people go on natural geography and others on 'east of the iron curtain'.
