Haha, the politically correct term used today is "romas" but yes there are plenty of them there - crazy, rabid kids that froth at the mouth and old women that mutter under their breath when you walk past. One day we passed by a muttering roma woman and within a week everyone present had developed a medical problem of some kind or another. Two cases of appendicitis, one developed leukemia and was sent home and medically discharged from the military, and I developed a nasty sebaceous cyst on my back which swelled to the size of a fist beneath my ribcage and burst before they could normally remove it. Coincidence? Who knows. Gypsy curses might sound like voodoo mumbo-jumbo but that week made me a believer. Don't fuck with the gypsies!

They're all over Europe. And they always know just enough English to beg. I was in Berlin a couple months ago and one came up to me and started speaking in German, so I asked "Do you speak English?" in German (which, along with shit and fuck is about all the German I know) and she just started saying "Money money money money!" Fortunately, "Nein!" is also in my small German vocabulary. I also came across them in London but they weren't as bad as the ones in Berlin, they weren't so in-your-face about it, you could just walk past them and ignore them and they'd get the hint.
