Can anyone confirm that in Bulgaria instead of nodding you shake your head to signify "yes" and vice versa for "no". I heard this from some of my friends and it says so in the German Wikipedia, but the source isn't all that believable either.
Thank you.

I have to admit I find that terribly confusing, since it's impossible to know if they mean Bulgarian "no" or general "yes" when they nod.

Would you mind providing the source for your statement? Thanks

I currently work in Bulgaria and often see my co-workers talking on the phone, telling someone "yes", but at the same time shaking their heads, or if I explain something to the students I work with they sit there and shake their heads... ;)
