Moldova vs North Macedonia

[Jana]

Which one do you prefer? Inspired by black hole #3


North Macedonia



Moldova

Parity. I won't vote.
1) Both countries are Orthodox.
2) Both landlocked.
3) Both were in the socialist bloc.
4) In both countries, you can normally explain yourself in Russian.
5) Nature is good here and there.
6) Low price of life.

I am not very familiar with either but I think I am more inclined to North Macedonia. If anything it can serve as a base for visiting other countries around it.

^^^^@Kiril and both are part of bigger historical regions (Macedonia in Greece and Moldavia in Romania). I can't decide either, I like both countries/peoples very much.

FYROM


Goran Pandev
Many Albanians
Skopje square is good for taking photos, poor guys paying for tickets there and finding out the city is trash, only square has 5000 statues taken from VERSACE catalogue.
Ohrid
Darko Pancev, my dad told me about him, he used to be Zvezda fan, my uncle always makes fun of him cause mostly everyone was with Partizan in my family and my dad suposedly was Zvezda fan because he was convinced by some random villagers some wierd story xdd
And Gjoko Zajkov my doppelganger.

Not true for MKD

[Dušan]

Hard to choose, linguistically and historically closer to North Macedonia, autosomal cluster is closer to Moldova, Orthodox religion and culture we share all three together.

I love them both.

And yes, even the wine is equally good in both countries. For my birthday I bought a bottle of Macedonian wine out of interest (rare thing here), my wife and I were not disappointed at all. And Moldavian ones are familiar to every Crimean, in addition to our own.

And we will speak in syllables. With Serbs and Bulgarians, this works well enough, and it should work in the MKD in the same way, why not?

Yes if you think every 6th word understood is "they will understand me normally" then yes.

North Macedonia.

Macedonians are one of my favorite people. They are open, friendly and they like Serbs (and vise versa). We have common history since middle age, and we lived in the same country until 1991/92. I know significant number of Macedonians and people with Macedonian roots from real life who live in Serbia. Few of them are in marriages with some my cousins. Serbian and Macedonian language are close and we can understand each other quite good (Serbian is the closest language to Macedonian after Bulgarian).
North Macedonia is more interesting to me natural-geographical and cultural-historical.

I don't know enough about Moldovans, and same goes for Serbs in general. We even don't know enough about Romanians who are our neighbors, let alone Moldovans.
