> East of Germany, Austria, Italy is Eastern Europe.
That's messed up. If this was true, then Greece would be Eastern Europe too.

Balkans isn't what is culturally called Eastern Europe either, Balkans is in Southeastern Europe, there is a big difference.
Eastern Europe when related to in certain terms today is what is culturally considered as the former Soviet Bloc. Slovenia & some Balkan countries was part of Yugoslavia, not the USSR. The only similarity between Balkans and Eastern Europe is the fact most of them are of Slavic descent.

That's amazing. But Slovenia isn't Eastern Europe last time I checked, I was there for 3 months and most people I came across said they consider themselves as Central Europeans, most of them speak very good English unlike most of Eastern Europe, and geographically they are not in Eastern Europe. Culturally a Slavic people/ Eastern European people though.

Not really uplifting when the banks in Denmark and most of Scandinavia doesn't deal in hard currency anymore.. Or soft currency as it's all paper. So not only does the bank use your money for fishy things, they won't let you take it out should you mistrust the bank, I mean who doesn't ?
