That's so weird. New York for example is about 10,000km to the east of Japan, and Spain is about the same to the west, but New York would be 16000km to the west of Japan as opposed to 10,000km to the east.
Wait why would Europe be to the east of Japan if America is "western".
Because the Pacific Ocean if the largest divider on earth. So it acts as the almighty dividing point of the world.
America is the furthest west you can go and Asia is the furthest east you can go.
If you read a history book ever then you'd know this.
