The Native People
The Native People of Macedonia are the Balkan people which ethnic groups consist of Greeks, Serbians, Albanians and Bulgarians. The wide variety of people living in the area leads to them speaking an array of languages including Albanian, Turkish, Serbian, Romanian, Bosnian and Vlach. These people grow up with having their parents arrange their marriages, and live with them until they are married. But in today's' world, the young people can choose whom they may spend their lives with. They although, cannot marry more than once, once they are married, must stay married. They also cannot remarry in their culture. It's prohibited by law. Speaking of law in their country, violent crimes are very rare as most high crimes are naturally taboo.

The Culture of Macedonia, office workers eat breakfast at 9 a.m. and earlier for factory workers. Dinner is their "lunch" and they eat that at 2 p.m. Supper is their "Dinner" and they eat that following the afternoon siesta. The eating schedule isn't also whats different about them, the typical clothing is also different. Women wear dresses that include, a chemise, vest, a unique collar, headscarves, shoes, and socks. So not the typical kind of clothing that us Americans are used to seeing.
This is what the women wear on a daily basis. They even go to weddings in this outfit. It's all apart of their culture though. If these people were to see how we dress they would think that we looked ridiculous. It's all based on culture and where we live on the globe.
