    Sorry to hear that LOM, can you explain your experience? I think off memory you were from Melbourne? It seems relations between Macedonians and Greeks are much more hostile there.

    That's really interesting BBS! I have to say for the most part I have never really had many issues on a personal level with Greeks or Serbians here, some underlying tensions for sure but nothing too serious, so I would say Bulgarians in Australia would be the same scenario. In saying that I am sure many have experienced the opposite end of dealing with some of the more crazy types of these communities.

    I never had any problems with them and they seemed quite friendly to me once I told them I was Macedonian. The odd one or two would say something stupid like we are the same or speak the same language. I would politely correct them lol

    In the city I live in I have met a few as well, they have a growing community as well. Same deal, international students, people working in jobs like bar men, cleaners etc

    I have also met many young girls come here with Australian partners.
    I think now with the EU and the Bulgarian economy still struggling Australia will see more Bulgarians (and Romanians) migrating to Australia.

    If there were more macedonians, we'd be giving them all hell! It's just a numbers game and the Greeks have more people. The Macedonians worked quite closely with the Bulgarians back in the market gardening days. It was convenient to be able to communicate and had more benefits than disadvantages. Sometimes Bulgarians world visit, I could never understand them!

    Interesting RTG, I wonder if Bulgarian Australians were in much greater number and there was a significant part of them more recently migrated how much of a pain they would have been to us Macedonians here in Australia. I feel like if they weren't on the Greeks level then they would most probably have been not far behind them. Or perhaps they could have just been like the Serbian and Albanian communities here in Australia, where there is some underlying tension but they never really get involved with us or give us much grief, at least not on any official level like Greeks do.

    I've never actually encountered a Bulgarian in Australia though there is a Bulgarian girl who I have some mutual friends with, she's very patriotic from what I know.

    Very nice MM. To their credit, it looks like they have listened to the criticisms in the comments section regarding the choice of flag they used in their last effort (sadly, the ventilator) and they have corrected their mistake in this one by using the true flag of Macedonia. I like to think I had something to do with their decision as well. I too gave them a piece of mind in the comments section on their last effort. It was a good song but the ventilator made it off-putting unfortunately. Good on them for correcting their mistake in this one.
    Good on you for being vocal about that Karposh, I'm glad you were and very grateful that they listened and changed it for this song.

Most recently about Svadba Golema, which the Bulgarians claim is a traditional Bulgaro-Macedonian song from Pirin region. Take this video of a Bulgarian girl claiming that these first two songs are traditional Bulgarian songs. If there's ever a time I go bald, it's because of these cultural thieves!

    This girl is most likely just misguided by Bulgarian propaganda, I watched her DNA test results video which was pretty interesting. It came up with several locations of ancestry such as Greece (she said she is part Greek), Albania, Turkey and even Macedonia. Interestingly nothing came up in Bulgaria which I found strange but I guess we don't really know how accurate these DNA tests actually are. The reason why I thought I would mention this is because when she spoke about Macedonia she didn't say anything anti-Macedonian or pro-Bulgarian that we are used to with many people from Bulgaria. So I`m assuming she is just a product of Bulgarian propaganda and genuinely believes songs like Svadba Golema and Kate Katerino are Bulgarian, not Macedonian.

    I know what you mean. It gets to the point where you just can't be bothered anymore. They have a really creepy Macedonian complex that is impossible to get your head around. All that is good in their Bulgarian bubble (music, folklore and history) comes from Macedonia or is related to Macedonia. Without Macedonia, all they have is Aziz, Gypsies, Turks and cheap whores. How on earth do you appropriate the song Svadba Golema and pass it off as Bulgarian when you know it was originally put together by one of Macedonia's most celebrated patriotic folkloric singers there ever was in Vojo Stojanovski? Bunch of loser Tatar fucks.
