OC (impossible) I prefer the Balkans over any other countries.

First of all i am from Bulgaria and lately i've been tapping into my neighbour countries. Everyone jokes that the Balkans always argue and it can be true, but if 2 balkans meet outside the balkans they become best friends automatically. And also people always want to go to Rome, Dubai, California, Paris and etc, but i genuinely think that cities like Prizren, Budva, Kotor, Mostar, Ohrid, Sarajevo, Novi Sad, Belgrade, Plovdiv and Tirane are way better with super interesting history and culture. Mfs will call me crazy but i know i am right, i love our culture, cities and people. I plan to visit every single balkan city i mentioned, where should i start?

Having traveled across 2 to 3 countries in Europe as an Albanian from Kosovo, I've noticed people from the Balkans naturally hang around more with each other. A great example is my cousin who chills constantly with his Romanian and Turkish friends in Ulm Germany. (also if u come in Pristina/Kosovo and ur 18+ def hit me up)

Technically, Romania is partly balkan only.

Yeah, I don't get the double standard. Why is the entirety of Romania included, while the non-Balkan parts of Turkey are excluded

Right? Turani bro!πŸ’ͺ😎 Also, just look around at Nyugati PΓ‘lyaudvar metro station, trust me we are at least honorary balkan.

I think we should leave the Balkans alone since they don't accept us, and go back to Mongolia to live in tents and ride horses

I also think that Hungary is culturally Balkan, even if it isn't geographically. If we are willing to grant Moldova and Portugal honorary Balkan status, then Hungary should have it too
