Are we measuring East/West in relation to where we live? So should we say where we live or at least which time zone?!

I live in England.

N - Inverness (Scotland)
E - Gorkhi-Terelj National Park (Mongolia)
S - Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)
W - Niagara Falls (Canada/USA)

There are so many more places I'd love to visit... at least one Nordic country, to see the North Lights; Japan, Bali, Australia and New Zealand; South America; the west coast of Canada and the USA... Life goals!
