I found that laughing at myself and my home country was a great way to engage Bulgarians in conversation. I made fun of the United States' enormous grocery stores and large cars, and they in turn opened up and shared the idiosyncratic aspects of their culture. These discussions were both enlightening and laughter-filled.
