I cannot to this day get 'east' and 'west' ordered correctly all the time. So it's quite common for me to end up in completely the wrong place in videogames.

Edit: Oh, and in Morrowind, I spent a full year with completely the wrong impression of where Vvardenfell is, because of the above mistake. Then I get hold of a map, and I'm like "What the hell? That should be over there..."
