Bulgaria
By Deborah Giattina, Meir Rinde, and Cale Siler
To most Westerners, Bulgaria is an enigmatic place that provokes shrugs and looks of confusion. None of this is helped by the fact that virtually everything here is written in Cyrillic script (created by Saints Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century in an effort to preserve the Slavic language and culture), which looks to the untrained eye like something conceived in a Gothic nightmare. Even worse, Bulgarians tend to nod their heads to indicate "no" and shake their heads to indicate "yes." Unless you're careful, this unique custom can wreak havoc on your sense of reality; be sure to get oral confirmation from train and bus conductors when you ask a question. Otherwise, you may end up in Romania.
