East is a direction in geography. It is one of the four cardinal directions or compass points. It is opposite of west and perpendicular to north and south.

East is the direction toward which the Earth rotates about its axis, and therefore the general direction from which the Sun appears to rise. However, in astronomy the east side of the sun is defined opposite with respect to the rotation direction, so it is the direction from which it rotates.

During the Cold War, "The East" was sometimes used to refer to the Warsaw Pact and Communist China, along with other Communist nations.

Throughout history, the East has also been used by Europeans in reference to the Orient and Asian societies.

How can East Asia help stop child trafficking and increase wages for laborers while still being a powerhouse?
Q. East Asia is an economic powerhouse when it somes to global trade, but their techniques in gaining this is terrible. They use child trafficking, which takes kids away from their homes to be laborers. The laborers don't earn enough money when they're carrying the country's future. Without them, they would really be nothing. So how do you stop child trafficking, increase wages, while still keeping the countries afloat?

What is tourism like in the Middle East during the hajj period?
Q. I'm thinking about travelling in the Middle East in November, which I now realize may overlap with the hajj period. When exactly is the holiday this year, and does everything shut, like during Eid al-Fitr?

A. only if you are going to Saudi Arabia it might affect your travel plans , but for other countries you will hardly notice any difference in numbers because Saudi Arabia assigns quotas to number of pilgrims coming from each country . As for the holiday in some countries it starts the day of Haj itself (expected to be 25th November) and the three days following it (26,27,28), though some private sector companies go back to business on third day of Eid = 4th from Haj. In other words it will be 3~4 days. The Islamic new year for 2009 is December 18th depending on the lunar calendar.

Any info on the stores or info about New Berlin or a nearby are would be greatly appreciated. thank you!

A. Grocery stores on the East Coast are very regional. Stores you find in Massachusetts you won't find in New York. In upstate New York where New Berlin is you'll find grocery stores like Price Chopper and Wegman's. Most small towns have their own local grocery store. Target stores in the northeast might have a few aisles of groceries at most, not enough to do grocery shopping.
