You are correct, I was sloppy writing that and apologize.

Growing up, I learned that Czechoslovakia was part of the "Eastern Bloc" and we were never taught much about the individual countries and their peoples. Moving there taught me a lot more about the country and its neighbors' history and culture, and also my own culture.

Although I'm not sure about "Central Europe".

it all comes down where you think Vienna it's, because it's for sure more eastern city than Prague, but i don't see people calling Austria eastern European country, which is political from before 1989

i have no problem ignoring central Europe when people will be consistent about geography especially regarding Austria, but since nobody it's putting Austria in eastern Europe then we have to live with Central Europe, after all Europe ends at Ural, so calling Czechia eastern Europe it's quite a stretch

This term predates the Iron Curtain.
