You know you are from Bulgaria when...

Duct tape is your father's only tool next to using a
kitchen knife as a screwdriver.

There is at least one relative that your family
refuses to talk to.

Your mom tells you not to sit on stone or your ass
will freeze.

Your parents insist that blankets with vinegar on your
body is the way to cure your 40 degrees Celsius fever.

When your baba (grandma) will not accept the fact that
you're not hungry.

Your parents don't allow 2 windows to be open at the
same time even in the greatest heat, because the
"draft" of the wind would make your back stiff.

You started to drink at the age of 12.

Your 15 year old sister can out-drink any American.

At your wedding you know only about a third of the
guests.

There is a 120-gallon barrel of wine and cabbage in
your garage.

When you make jokes based on your own tragedy.

When you can hear your parents talking and you are
across the street.

Everyone is sure you're greek or italian.

When your father is talking to you and every second
word he calls you is "budala".

You can spend 3 hrs in a Cafe drinking the same cup of
coffee.

When you are never certain whether stay abroad or
return to Bulgaria.

When people still think that you are from Bolivia no
matter how many times you say you're from Bulgaria.

When your parents' friends have no shame in telling
you you've gained weight.

hm..and -Your favourite music is CHALGA and you dance KIOCHEK on a table.


........YOU KNOW YOU'RE BULGARIAN WHEN YOU HAVE RUN
AWAY FROM BULGARIA AND STILL SAY IT'S THE BEST PLACE
IN THE WORLD.
