Jacob: Hi!
Elisabeth: Hi, Jack, how are you doing?
Jacob: I need your help right now!!! help! help!
Elisabeth: How can I help you?
Jacob: I'm in a lecture about Eastern Europe and the Balkans and I wanted to add something to the discussion, but I always forget which one is Backa and which one is Banat!
Elisabeth: Haha, Backa or Bačka is basically the western part of Vojvodina, closer to Hungary.
Jacob: what about Banat?
Elisabeth: it's the eastern part of Vojvodina, bordering Romania.
Jacob: where is the border then?
Elisabeth: I believe that the border between them is the river Tisa.
Jacob: This is super complicated.
Elisabeth: A bit, true. But it's because the West doesn't care about the geography of the East. Western geography is equally complicated, we are just ignorants, hahaha.
Jacob: Do you know why they are 2 regions?
Elisabeth: I am not sure, I think Banat was settled with Germans in the early 18th century, when it was almost empty after a war.
Jacob: What about Backa?
Elisabeth: I really don't know... 
Jacob: Any ideas what it could be?
Elisabeth: Maybe it was just Hungarian? But really no idea :P
Jacob: Ok, thanks, you're a treasure!
Elisabeth: :*
Jacob is in class and needs Elisabeth to explain the difference between Backa and Banat.
