I like the middle-left parties like the Greens or the social demcrats (SPD). Obiously I oppose the AfD (far-right). Also I dont like CDU/CSU (christian-democrats conservatives), BSW (pro-Russia left) and FDP (economically liberal).

Miscellaneous What’s one random opinion that you have? I think Albanian cities should look more like Greek cities. I want Albania to have a more Mediterranean feel (not communist vibes)

I know most people don’t like how Greek cities look, but personally I think they look good.

Idk if i have low standards but Greek cities look better organized, most buildings have similar architecture and height. They look like some cities in Italy. Also Greeks seem to take care of their ancient heritage better.

Albanian cities are a mish mash of styles and building heights.

You can see from the images above that Thessaloniki is more planned than Durrës. I would have loved if Durrës looked like Thessaloniki.

Culture/Traditional Balkaners, which Balkan country is most similar to us Georgians in your opinions?

12 Upvotes

Some People on Reddit say that we Georgians are honorary Balkaners. Both some Balkaners and Georgians think thus way but personally myself I have not met any Georgians that felt similar to the Balkans. But I think we Georgians are not Balkaners not in the territory as some people say, we have quite different cuisine, music and clothing as well as history. But I think there are some overlaps. As Balkaners what Balkan country resembles us most in terms of lifestyle, values, culture etc...?

Stereotypes/Humor How are parents stereotyped in your country?

31 Upvotes

I'd say that Greek parents are stereotyped as being strict but in a chaotic, overbearing and often manipulative way. Greek mothers are stereotyped as being clingy and overprotective, especially towards their sons, for whom they are prepared to engage in whatever lowly drama pops into their heads (the stereotype of the Ελληνίδα Μάνα / "The Greek Mother"). They say stuff like "take a jacket before you go, it's cold outside", "don't walk barefoot", "you didn't have enough to eat", "you'll catch a cold", as well as know exactly what type of medication or treatment to prescribe when you eventually do fall sick.

What's it like in your country?

Outdoors/Travel Which buildings are illegal to photograph in Bulgaria?

4 Upvotes

I read on https://www.mfa.gov.sg/Countries-Regions/B/Bulgaria/Travel-Page:

It is illegal to photograph some buildings. If in doubt, check with the local authorities.

I don't want to ask the local authorities each time I take a photo that includes some building. Which buildings are illegal to photograph in Bulgaria?
