MEET Boris Siromahov, a Bulgarian in Britain. The first "enormous mistake" he made as an international student in the UK was to demonstrate traditional Bulgarian dancing to a fellow student...
"He almost died laughing and I ended up having to perform the dance on a weekly basis," says Boris, who is studying journalism at the University of the West of England in Bristol. "It was definitely embarrassing." Luckily, self-deprecation combined with funny dancing is a GUARANTEED way to make friends in Britain - especially when it involves a track by Wham!
Boris, you are a genius of cultural cohesion and we salute you. Watch and learn people.
