Moving temporarily from W-coast (Skandinavia) to E-coast of U.S. offset my internal gyroscope. I intuitively know where the Atlantic ocean is. Trouble was - the Atlantic ocean was now EAST of me, not west.

Even after 4 months I found myself repeating that "I'm going inland (away from the Atlantic), that's to the east" kind of mistake. Kind of annoying. Everything I entered an east/westbound highway in that part of the U.S. I need to double check that I'm not going in the opposite direction.
