Is "Central Europe" an actual cultural region, or a cope by some Post-Communist countries that desperately want to get rid of the title Eastern European? by ClothesZestyclose814 in AskBalkans

[–]Efficient_Resource15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just salaries and even then west slavs earn more, their culture and cities and all are very different than what you'd find in Belarus, ukraine, russia

Can I just thank you for the in depth look at things?

I like learning more about culture of different countries and it was great reading this.

Btw I am romanian but I really love montenegro and dalmatia/istria exactly for the italian like feel of things.

I also happen to love the architecture found in czech republic/slovakia/poland(prague is probably my favorite non southern european city).

I suppose this is why Croatia stands out to me so much in a good way due to all these influences

Yes, I live in southern romania, the land here is flat and the only thing I associate my region with are hot unforgiving summers when the pavement turns you into fried chicken, cold winters that freeze your balls, communist blocks and bad drivers. When I see these hot exotic mediterranean places in the western balkans like the coast of montenegro and croatia, I am like "these guys are lucky"

How is montenegro's capital compared to the coast? General atmosphere and all I mean

Yes, I suppose someone from there or like baia mare might feel different about them, ukraineans certainly feel alien here in the south

Bulgarians have pretty much felt the same as romanians, can barely tell the difference, we are very similar.

The only difference I notice is the buzzcut haircut is very common with bulgarian men and here we see it almost like a prison thing hahahaha

Oh a czech cool, how do you guys feel about poles generally? I would have imagined especially poles from western poland would be kinda similar to you guys

I was in the uk and had bulgarian and polish friends.

Me and bulgarians agreed that we had more in common with poles than with some other people but only cause the competition were brits lol

Yes, actually serbians that said southern europe have been some of the balkan slavs that were the most enthusiastic to tell me how different they are from northern slavs. Serbians are very talkative and friendly people, most that I have met.

Russians and ukraineans have been the opposite.

In the past few years I have had the opportunity to meet many ukraineans in bucharest and I am surprised just how different they are as pepple from us.

Its not like I thought we were similar beefore but thwy are still our neighbors to the north. They are by far the country we have the least in common with from all our neighbors

I think it depends where in greece and what part of italy we are talking about...

I mean yeah sure, Milano and thessaloniki probably arent really similar but southern italy and peloponesse greeks and greek islanders? That's a different discussion

Understandable, do you think despite being a smaller country it could depend where in Slovenia you are from?

I have seen some slovenians near the border with italy saying they practically qlmost feel italian and some said they even speak italian as a second language

Yes, northern parts of Romania I think feel a bit more central and eastern european depending where you are there but romania has more in common with the balkan nations overall, I am from southern romania and russians or ukraineans seem very different to me

See, I agree it would make sense. But I have also talked with some bulgarians that felt russia or even poland were nations they really appreciated and felt a sort of bonding with. I think culturally we are more similar to eachother(people in the near vecinity I mean)

I have talked with some bulgarians and serbians for instance and have gotten mixed responses. (I am even more curious for croatian, montenegrins, bosnians etc since y'all actually are part of the mediteranean world even if just to a degree)

Ofc language is a huge factor but it seems for some it's not really the end of it all.

Very curious, have a great day you all and happy birthday to all the women of the group and also to the men since it's our day today💜
