Bulgaria
It is also important to remember the fact that many Bulgarians - contrary to most nationalities - shake their head for Yes and nod for No! It is better to rely on the words da for yes and ne for no than on head movements.

If I succeed in persuading you to give Bulgaria a try, you must carry a substantial phrase book and remember this: In Bulgaria, when you want to signify that the answer is "yes," you shake your head back and forth. To signify "no," you nod your head up and down.
