YOU KNOW YOU ARE MACEDONIAN WHEN

Nice little observaton on Macedonian culture in Australia (US and Canada to). Go to the site for more.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE MACEDONIAN WHEN:

- Your granfather always has a shot of Rakija for breakfast.
- The minute church services are over you go straight for the bar and get smashed.
- You only go out of town for Macedonian Tournaments and Dances.
- Even if you're a girl, your parents (who can't remember your name) call you "sine".
- You are hopelessly trying to bring the Macedonian community in Australia together.
- Your uncle makes his own wine that's stronger than 'rakija'.
- Your mother insists that 'promaja' will kill you.
- Your mother insists you must eat something with 'Sirenje' at least three times a week.
- You base your whole life on the fortune in your coffee cup.
- You use 'Rakija' to cure all illnesses, celebrate all occasions and as a massage lotion.
- You celebrate Christmas, Easter and New Years two weeks after everyone else.
- Your baba will not accept the fact that you're just not hungry
