Many things, for the Balkans, are quite normal, while people in the rest of the world are somewhat strange.In this witty text, it is described what Balkan families differ from others.
1. You had to share your room with someone else until you were 27 years old.
2. Everything you eat has a onion and garlic.
3.Whenever you travel, your suitcases are the biggest.
4. You come to a celebration with two hours of delay and you think it’s quite normal.
5. Your children have nicknames that have nothing to do with their real name.
6. When you leave to someone home, you speak for another hour at the door.
7. Mom says you’re very skinny, even if you have 5 kg. more.
8. The house is full of medicines, made of plants that your parents brought from the village.
9. Your friends and you were thrown out of the restaurant at least once because you were too loud.
10. Do not use the dishwasher, because it’s easier for you to wash them manually.
11.You have a doily on the table and shelves.
12. You do not use scales when you make cakes, but you put the ingredients “roughly”.
13. Your mother calls you every day to ask if you’ve been eating, even though you have not lived with her for a long time.
14. It’s perfectly normal for your wedding to be 600 guests.
15. You believe that your destiny is “written” in a cup of coffee.
The Balkans is a special region … we also have special habits ?
Yes, we are different from the rest of the world. The Balkans are wonderful people.They have a strange habit. They do not like much, although they are very similar ..But, when a catastrophe happens, they all become one…When everything passes, and returns to normal .. they do not ,,like,, each other again …and in fact, they are all the same.
Thank you for sharing this nice story of the Balkans customs. I always thought Hispanic cultures like some of the name of my relatives is odd.
Thank you, I’m glad you liked it.
My pleasure since in America if you are an adult living with your parents is considered being a bum.
Unfortunately, in our country young people live with their parents because they can not afford their own apartment.It would be nice to leave when they start to work, but with small salaries a small number are those who can do it.
Thank you for telling me since Panamanian culture and American culture is like night and day.
That one about the nicknames for children is super funny! That definitely is different! LOL.
Yes..nickname is, mostly, funny..But it’s all from love.

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it.The Balkans are shown here a bit witty way.
everything I eat has onion and garlic, but otherwise I’m not very Balkan…
Since you eat onions..you must have some Balkan gene..hah.
I love onions and garlic and seafood, so it is a possibility
Well all of these are amazing. I don’t even know 600 people to invite to anything. 🙂
We have very specific weddings in our country … it is sometimes celebrated for three days.Young people say they want a little wedding …Parents say .. ok .. naturally ..And then they call up 400 people … hah. There is no small wedding.
Wow that is impressive. Always cool to learn of other traditions.
Nice post.
Thank you very much Marija.
Thank you for commenting.

Something that I have not learned before. We have also different customs and traditions which were weird. We call them superstitions. Now, I have known some unique culture about your race.
We also have superstitions … and that is the inevitable way of our lives.for example … we knock in the tree three times ..not to hear devil..hah..if you hear something bad ..move away from the place..will not happen to us something ..
