skhara Posted May 27, 2005 Report Share Posted May 27, 2005 I like Bulgarians -- good folks. By the way, is the shaking of head to indicate 'YES', and nodding of head to indicate 'NO' a purely Bulgarian thing, or do others do it as well?

gamavor Posted May 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I like Bulgarians -- good folks. Same here. Bulgarians (most of the ones that I know and grew up with) are extremely intelligent and cool people, however the destiny of Bulgaria is to be Judeo-Ottoman province - unfortunately. By the way, is the shaking of head to indicate 'YES', and nodding of head to indicate 'NO' a purely Bulgarian thing, or do others do it as well? It's the same in Turkey.
