In what ways is it godforsaken?
-
Oh, I could go in details, but I don't currently have time, so I'll be short: politics, corruption, air polution, environment polution, inflation, salaries, prices, comodities... there's a lot more. Feel free to ask about any of these in particular, I'll answer a bit later in the evening 😉.

Not good. We used to have great weed, hell, hemp grows on streets here, the weather is perfect for that, but then they killed the cannabis plant industry (as an industrial plant, ropes, clothes, stuff like that) and everything went downhill from there. We only have imported now... unless you grow your own that is... just don't brag about it.

How many languages do you speak? How many did your grandparents speak? How many do your children (or theirs) speak (if you have any)?
-
Two, my native and English, though I do understand Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian perfectly as well. I do speak them, but not as good as English.
My grandpareents... IDK, probably 3 I guess... tops. Slovenian, Serbian, Macedonian. My granma from my mother's side also knew a little Turkish and was quite fluent in German (she was in a labour camp during WWII). My kid is little, like 4, he speaks Macedonian and some English (words only, not sentences).

What’s the one thing you would want your average global citizen to know about the balkans?
Is there somewhere else you eventually want to live?
When people say they want to Balkanize _ does that bother you?
Who would win in a fight, a hot dog or a taco?
Don't trust anyone fom here, you're bound to get screwed at one point or another.
Yes, preferably somewhere colder, like Canada, Sweden, Norway. Not Russia, cuz the mentality and the people are basically the same as here.
I have no idea what that means, it's the first time I've heard that term, could you explain what it means?
IDK, we don't have tacos here, we have gyros.
