Expect to be offered food several times even after you have said you are full.
You will see many people hugging and kissing on the cheek （although never between two men）. This is a somewhat new habit most popular in big cities. If unsure， just shake hands. However， do not shake hands over the doorstep as it is considered bad luck.
Offering sweets to everyone around is a custom of celebrating special days like birthdays， name days， weddings and births in the family. Do take the candy， eat it and offer your congratulations. The act of eating the gift is a way of well-wishing and refusing it is very rude.
Complaining about the country is a national sport in Bulgaria. So you can tell them the bad experiences or feelings you had.
