Édit: Greece is South European and Hungary is Central European. Geographical terms are much better to use.

The massive immigration of some of the best specialists on the continent, educated elsewhere for free, is quite possibly the best argument against the "you rely on our cohesion funds so STFU" narrative. I mean yeah, it's not like the senders of emigrants didn't get anything out of it themselves (the remittances, for example) but the net result is still overwhelmingly negative. Some of those countries are literally becoming extinct, their pension systems are on the verge of collapsing. It's easy to say "just accept more migrants yourselves" because first off, it's an open secret that practically every single country of the post-2004 enlargement is very much open to immigration (the refugee crisis drama was just a show for the local electorates) but very few can actually attract f. Soviet and South Asian workers in numbers that are even nearly enough to compensate for all those who left for the West. Anybody who comes there might as well just move several hundred miles to the left and boom, he's in Germany earning four times as much. Only Poland and the CR managed to attract several hundred Ukrainians and mostly just because the languages are similar. But what are the Lithuanians or Latvians supposed to do? Nobody speaks anything resembling their languages and they are the most desperate to fill the gaps. Similarily, almost nobody is coming to Bulgaria or Romania and they proportionately lost much more people than Poland or Hungary.

I am half Russian and half Bulgarian, but I'm currently studying in the U.S. I don't want to speak about any country, but based on what I have been stumbling upon most of the time I've noticed that people from the U.S (probably about 70%) are completely monolingual (it means that they speak only their native language which is English). The problem is this could be seen as something "selfish" by some people in Europe, because English is being spoken almost around the whole world, so here comes the: "Why learning another language when most people already speak mine"? Isn't that intersting? XD

My funniest moment was when my new colleague wanted to small talk, and asked "So what it's like in Poland?" "I don't know, I've never been there." (I'm from Hungary, but it's all the same to them 😅 )

I'm a Russian art student living in UK. The thing which annoys me the most is that as soon as I tell where I'm from people start asking me political questions. Like, why? I'm not that qualified or even interested in all that. When I was preparing to come to this country I read quite a bit about the culture of small talk and the main etiquette rules were not to talks about politics, footbal and religion. Well, I can't even count how many times I've been asked about my political believes. They never expect me to start talking about anarchism and feminism :) Things people ask me: Do you hate lgbt peple?, Do you like Putin?, Are Russian people racist?, Is it true that I'll get robbed if I come to Russia as a tourist?, football hooligans, fake news and so on. It makes the conversation weird straightaway.

Being told to speak the language of the country irritates me. If I am speaking to my brother, we will always speak Luxembourgish as it is a habit and our way to stay in touch with our roots and no we are not talking about you, really.

Well, I'm Latvian, and I live in the UK (more specifically, London). The only things I've encountered under this "please stop asking" umbrella for me would be: whether I speak Russian, and an assumption that Latvians are Slavs (they're not - they're Balts, like Lithuanians). It's annoying because of our painful history with Russian invasions, so most Latvians will very much dislike being associated with anything Russian. However, I understand that it's normal that people can't know everything about every country's culture, language, and history - I might make similar mistakes myself. The most important thing is to listen and to nod politely when somebody explains you stuff. I still remember a Spanish guy I met on a beach in Barcelona many years ago who tried to chat me up and was dead-set that I was Russian, spoke Russian, everything RUSSIAN, Russian, Russian, Russian, even when I told him that I wasn't and that the languages were not similar at all. The guy was quite surprised that his attempts didn't end very well. However, I've never been asked to fix somebody's bathroom yet, so I guess I've got fun stuff to look forward to!

I Can't Agree More! I Have Friends From Lithuania And They're Amazed At How Much I Know About It's History And Culture (I've Learned How To Say A Few Basic Phrases In Lithuanian And Russian As Well, They Learnt My Language So Why Not Learn Theirs?)… Once You Look Past The Stereotypes And Negative Images… Eastern Europe Is An Amazing Mosaic Of Cultures And Languages In An Amazing Part Of The World.. :)

I've been to Poland and Ukraine and you can see such a huge difference from here to there and then between each of those countries. It's such a different world and amazing to be emersed in. Poland less so as it's in the EU and a lot more people speak English, and everything is very clean and modern so you feel closer to home, but In Ukraine it is totally different, I could have been on Mars and in a good way ofc. I'd totally recommend taking that trip and just take in the culture and the atmosphere. Especially in places with less tourists as it feels more authentic.

@@59AJ59 In fact, Eastern Europe can be even more multidimensional than Western for the simple reason of it being much more religiously diverse. In the West, everywhere you go you see Catholic churches and Prostetant churches which don't really look that much different from Catholic ones (as many used to be Catholic themselves a few hundred years ago). In the East, the minute you move from Poland to Ukraine the churches you pass by start looking completely different. Similarily, the North-South divide is just as pronounced there as it is further West: Balts, Poles and Czechs are serious and somewhat gloomy like Germans whereas Serbs, Croats and Bulgarians are easygoing and sociable like Italians.

My best friend is from Bulgaria we both live in Germany, I grew up here and she moved here 2 years ago but we talk English... German is hard for her and I tried zu learn Bulgarian but totally fail at it 😂

Ugh I know what you mean XD. I'm Bulgarian and currently learning German in school and it is killing me. So I'm glad that I know Bulgarian so I wouldn't have to learn it. Also, slavic languages are a peace of cake to learn for us, so that's a plus

The shit that annoys me most about being polish is that when I was younger I was told almost every day that I, a Polish child, started the Holocaust. Its like no, the Nazis did that and that there were 'Polish concentration camps', no they were nazi camps in Poland because lots of Jewish people lived in Poland. I also hate the assumption that no Polish people were in the concentration camps or killed. Polish people were the second largest group to be killed by the concentration and death camps.

Victoria Sora Of course they can be independent if they want to, however they can’t just claim Greek history and culture as their own, just because they don’t have a national identity. Why don’t they call their country Peonia which is actually the ancient name of the region they live in? Did they just wake up one day and decided they don’t like Slavs?

I'm very sorry for any Eastern Europeans who have had to hear any of these lines.
