I knew exactly who had been here moment before I walked along this Yambol back street. The Gypsy women road sweepers have been tidying up along this particular street. And what a good job they do as well. If it were Gypsy men, well actually any Bulagrian men for that matter working instead, this certainly would not be the same neat sight. They really do a good job these Gypsy women.
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.

Martin. Do the women get paid? Why do gypsy women complete the task?
ReplyDeleteBTW thanks for the link, which was not necessary but is very much appreciated.
Yes they do, tey have to do a few days work to get 'social security' pay. No idea hy the women do it, probably because the men tell them to!
