Besides language what are the big differences between these countries?
Is the food, music, values, traditions basically the same?

Balkoniggers are Orthodox, we are of latin rite.
Jacob Jenkins
No not really, we are quite different in my opinion.
Jack Torres
I actually wanted to explode with butthurt after reading the post of another clueless burger but then I realized if someone posted for example South East Asia and asked the same question I'd think the question is legit even though south Asians would probably get butthurt as well because how anyone can be that stupid not to distinguish Laos from Cambodia or sth. So I'm not really mad anymore.
Noah Hughes
Very little. They look the same, same food, same culture. The only difference is their heritage.
Jacob King
>anymore
So it wasn't obvious to you right away? The power of memes. Nobody knows anything about the distant world around them.

No, I seriously thought Central-Eastern Europe was somehow more relevant and known worldwide, especially in the USA, because we have a big diaspora there.
Easton Bailey
>the food in Serbia is the same as in Hungary or Slovenia
L-O-L
Sebastian Reed
This is bait, saged and hidden
To say that central Europe is the same is terrible, that the Balkans are all the same will cause another world war...but to say that the Balkans is similar to central Europe is absolute cringe,
Jonathan Cooper
actually it is
Adrian Nelson
Serbian food is a cross between Central Asian and Iranian food with a dash of Greece, but the food in the latter two is distinctly European. Of course there are Serbian restuarants around every corner nowadays, but traditionally the difference is roughly equal to that between Spanish and British cooking.
Adam Morgan
Balkan food is exactly the same (ie Ottoman) everywhere from Bosnia to Greece to Romania and even the names of dishes are largely similar.
Aiden Green
Well the only country on that map that has a sizable diaspora here is Poland. And even then it is mostly NYC and Chicago. And they do know. Other than that it is not about relevance. It is natural for people to only know what is close to them. You mention asia and it is a good example of that. It is not about bants or looking down on other countries. Most people only know whatever they hear on TV.

That's exactly like the Balkan MEN. Slovene women love them all.
William Rodriguez
ye
Jacob Jackson
what?
There is a huga difference between west and south slavs.
We even look much different.
Asher Hernandez
>American education
Asher Myers
Not really desu. Polish people are a noticeable minority and a lot of Jewish folks have roots in the region but I have never met a Central European national except for a Polish dude who moved into my office last week.
I feel like Eastern/Central Europe is pretty unknown to Americans which is sad because it seems pretty cool. East Asia is a lot more relevant because of media and immigration.
Lincoln Moore
Okay senpai I got you. I've been to Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic and know about the rest through family
>Poland
Pretty country, very developed & nicer than USA. People are very conservative and about as religious as Americans. Most beautiful girls in Europe, seem pretty slutty. Very nationalist, very angry.
>Czech Republic
Opposite of Poland except also beautiful. Much more laid-back. Women were not slutty like I expected but sex is everywhere. Girls seemed much more nerdy and academic than in other countries. AMAZING high culture, lots of love of music and theater. Tour guides go on and on about Mahler, Kafka, Dvorak. Their first president was a playwright and stage director.
>Slovakia
Does not exist
>Hungary
Felt a lot like Czech Republic but less developed. People are proud of their "wild" heritage and dislike the West. Strange language but best food in Europe
>Romania
Vampires, gypsies, and Nazi collaborators who skinned Jews alive. Never went here but would like to visit because of the history. Unlike the other countries they are Orthodox.
t. Diaspora jew with roots in Grodno, Poland & Austria-Hungary
Joshua Green
>very developed & nicer than USA.
hello mr Pszczczpczzcnski
Landon Campbell
just Polish people really, and the Polish diaspora all is in the rural Midwest & Chicago
Much less visible than Italians, Irish, Jews, even Puerto Ricans. Idk if I have ever met someone with a Polish last name.
Jaxson White
>Idk if I have ever met someone with a Polish last name.
it's because they were mostly unpronounceable for Americans so Poles usually changed them to American surnames or made up completely new ones
and every American knows at least several Polish jokes
Gavin Hill
It was very clean! Cities felt very new, maybe a little boring but modern yet traditional in a cute way.
Prague on the other hand is more like an East Coast US city, bustling and old and sort of dirty.
I did not visit the rest of eastern Poland but I heard it's much less nice right? I wanted to visit Grodno for family reasons but then saw it is no longer part of Poland haha
Evan Price
Why so many different languages in such a tiny region?
Jason Phillips
>I did not visit the rest of eastern Poland but I heard it's much less nice right?
Actually eastern Poland is much better maintained than the western part.
Here's my small town of 10k people in deep eastern Poland, it's absolutely first world.
>It was very clean! Cities felt very new, maybe a little boring but modern yet traditional in a cute way.
Only Warsaw is like that.

Those turk patches on Bulgaria look like cancer, while our patch looks like a brain tumor.
