Balkan Goodbye

When your Balkan partner says goodbye to the host/hostess of the party and a new set off conversations begin as if they haven't seen each other in years.

1st phase: Sitting down, Balkan person says goodbye to Balkan host and a new conversational topic arises 10 min.

2nd phase: You stand up, says goodbye then start talking about something else 15 min
3rd phase: You walk to the door, says goodbye, then new topic 15 min.
4th phase: You make it outside but still by the door 15 more min.
5th phase: 10 more minutes talking outside of your car (without getting in)
6th phase: You make it in the car but you pull down your window for something she forgot to say, 5 min.

You drive off.

"Thank you so much for having us. I really liked your Mititei (Romanian Meatballs) Let me tell you about the Balkan store I go to." The trigger of the Balkan Goodbye

Hahaha, look at the tomatoes on that one.
