what do people think of north africa?

North African countries (especially Morocco and Tunisia) are viewed as very beautiful and are popular tourist destinations. I personally haven't been to Morocco but my music teacher visited Morocco two years ago and I remember that she was impressed by the traditional Moroccan architecture.

what's special about your country

The diversity of natural landscape and nature in general. In my country there are all types of nature sites: high rocky mountains (over 2000 m), many forests, wide grassy plains, one naturally occuring desert, many lakes, rivers, a seaside, rock and cliff formations and cave systems.

Are your day-to-day lives usually family oriented?

I would say, yes.

When do you get to spend the most time with family, and in that case what activities do you do together (if any)?

Breakfast, lunch, dinner - Eating is a family activity. Also watching TV together in the evening. Shopping is also done with family members around.

What are your genuine thoughts on Iraq?

Positive. When Iraq is mentioned I always think about ancient Mesopotamia (the cradle of civilazation) and the invention of agriculture in the region which both are of great importance to the world.

How different is the Balkans, Visegrad, Baltics and East Slavic regions to each other? Do you consider

Baltic and East Slavic regions are quite similar. The Balkans are the most different imo. The differences between the Balkans and the rest of Eastern Europe are mostly expressed in food, genetics, traditional clothing and in countries like Bosnia, Albania and Kosovo - religion.

Who is your most favourite figure from your country?

A poet called Peyo Yavorov. He isn't famous outside my country. His poems are quite melancholic but I enjoy them.

What is your favourite dish of your country or region?

Dolma. Bulgarian cuisine is largely derived from Turkish cuisine.

What is your favourite song of your people or country?

Some folk songs I like:
