A Romanian beggar sitting on the side of the road, unfortunately, a common sight in Helsinki today. this summer there were about 230 staying temporarily in Helsinki. I would not be able to endure this life.
An other one is just 20 meters away but he plays the accordion…
The Romany must be all over Europe by now, I feel … it is said – or should I say, I read that they don’t mind at all: that is it accepted by them as how they live.
Certainly, there is no solution to this.
Beautiful photo of a typically Romany face, Ritva.
Excellent captures Ritva and yes, we have the same here. I wouldn’t be able to endure that either.
but I have to say, that they bother me, begging. And knowing that someone collects the money from them…
I know the feeling Ritva and we never give them anything around here. It only enables them and the ones that use them.
