Typical things for Bulgaria

1. Old people sitting on benches, spying and gossiping on every single person they know while smoking, drinking or eating sunflower seeds

2. Minors buying alcohol and cigarettes and going to bars and clubs even if the legal age for these things here is 18

3. Grandmas being into witchcraft but also being christian

4. Old people here are really conservative and if they see something modern, new or different, they say things like "It wasn't like that when we were young", "new generation is really spoiled", "When Todor Jivkov ruled the country it was better"

5. In the summer when you went to the beach there's always a gypsy or bulgarian that sells corn and screams that this is the best corn etc.

6. Physical abuse here is a normal thing for "discipline" for children and we are not protected

7. Those small corner stores that have so much foods and drinks

8. Children going and buying alcohol or cigarettes for their parents/grandparents

9. Local people love making fun of alternative people and overall everyone that's different

10. Age of consent here is 14 so it's normal to see 14-15 y/o girl with old man

11. Lots of people complain about the fact the younger generation doesn't know its own history but in school we study british, american, german, french, italian, serbian, russian and the history of many more countries

12. Older people conserving foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, making jam, lyutenitsa etc.

13. Going to your grandma and she giving you tons of food because you are skinny or you haven't eaten

14. Our parents here tell us not to accept presents and money from other people so when your grandparents want to give you something, you have to hide

Most of these things may be normal in other balkan/slavic countries so lmk if some of these things are normal in your country too or tell me things that are different and normal in your country! :)

So many in common, actually almost all But damn age of consent is 14? It's 16 here and I know it's not a big difference but it's weird The funniest thing is that some people, including non-Europeans, try to convince us our country isn't a part of the Balkans, when everyone else considers us one and we are, both geographically and culturally. It's just that we're not Slavic but we all have many funny stuff in common. It's the Balkan charm and I feel blessed to be Balkan
