I feel your pain. But they are worse than that. I hope that one day they will be assimilated, something that hasn't happened in hundreds of years under all forms of social and political organisation, from Feudalism, Capitalism, Communism.

Serbia here, I remember one time when the government gave them apartments, they sold everything they could from these apartments and returned to their cardboard cities.

So they signed up from multiple locations across the country. When technology advanced and the system was centralized, oh boy. XD Interpol was after them. lol

Indeed. They give up on education early on and start stealing since it's easier. Sure there are some decent people among them that get educated and work hard, but the vast majority chooses to just steal, scam, pickpocket, rob people, since it's easier. Often times they live in houses that are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions... with no education and a job. I'm sure we can all figure out where the money comes from.

In India they were called 'Chandala' and the 'Untouchable' and were treated as half animal half human. They WERE NOT EXPELLED! During the invasions in India by Darius and Alexander the Great, they understood that Europeans and North Asians didn't know that they were classified as Untouchable and treated them as humans. Their exodus from India began 4c.B.C.A. - They followed the tracks of the armies of Alexander and Darius. About 5-6c AD they were already in Persia and Central Asia, 9c in Byzantine empire, 12c in Britain, 13c in Scandinavia... On their way frrom India to Europe and beyond they mated with everybody who wanted them and now most of them are unrecognizable.

What an eye-opening and fascinating look into the Roma culture and traditions in Bulgaria! This documentary provided extremely rare insights that most outsiders would never get to witness. I was both intrigued and disturbed by the bride market tradition shown. While clearly rooted in long-standing Roma customs, the commodification of women is an uncomfortable concept for modern society. However, I appreciated that the documentary portrayed it in a balanced, non-judgmental way to simply educate viewers. The access to the Roma communities and weddings was just incredible. Being able to see the vibrant celebrations, dances, and rituals up close really brought their rich culture to life. The behind-the-scenes footage of the bride market negotiations also gave a unique glimpse into a world few have seen. At the same time, addressing the challenges the Roma face like poverty, discrimination, and lack of education opportunities was important context. It humanized them beyond just exotic traditions. Overall, this was a captivating look at a fascinating but often misunderstood ethnic minority in Europe. While some of the customs were shocking, the documentary's respectful, anthropological approach enriched my understanding. Giving a voice and visibility to the Roma people was impactful. An excellent piece of cultural storytelling.

As the techonlogy does evrerything today they do not have many things to do as they consider that integration means kind of loosing their freedom. But still some of them settled in some places and mixed with the local population without knowing their ancestors were gipsy Today the only way to survive is to steal or integrate. The cameras and new way of surving people make difficult to steal so easily and they started to work in many places but if they can, even with a good salary, still "take" some food from food stores or beg where they can.

What you call a dowry is absolutely not a dowry. A dowry is money flowing in the other direction, i.e., from the bride's family to the grooms. What you describe doesn't have a traditional word in English because the English tradition is the dowry, which is 'endowed' on the bride by her father. Money paid by the groom's family to the bride's has names in the languages of the areas where the tradition naturally evolved. In English, it has been called bride price, though that terminology is not popular, presumably due to being viewed negatively. Whether a culture traditionally uses dowry or bride price, i.e., whether money is paid by the bride's or the groom's family respectively, depends on the manner is which real property (i.e., land) is inherited. Calling a bride price dowry is just euphemism.

I am from America, and my friend is now dead, but I miss him allot. I worked for him, blacktopping. He lived in the same house for over 60 years. He run his own paving business as long. I met his family, and his nieces were chaperoned when on a date. Some of them drank etc, but my friend never did, and used drunk Americans getting rowdy and loud as an example of how NOT to act. He was a big man, and could handle his self well, which I seen him do in a restaurant once after he snatched some loud foulmouthed guy up by the hair of his head and threw him out the front door for cussing the waitress in front of several families with small kids and women. I found him and his brother to be nothing like I was told gypsies were. They worked very hard, they were very clever, and very high moral family values. Its why they stuck to themselves in many cases. Of course, like any people, there were bad ones, that ripped off people and did mostly shady deals, but not the ones I worked for. I had more laughs and life was so at ease when I spent my days with them than any time in my life. I called him Gypsy Joe, he`d get mad at first, but he realized I was only joking. He told me one day to look up the word Gypsy. It means a person that travels allot. He said I`m Romani, and nothing else. To each their own, but I have nothing but respect for them.....

How's the party culture and women in Bulgaria if you don't mind me asking.

[@backupcobos5311]

please help me ask the people in Bulgaria. What if the woman wants to get a divorce after we pay a large sum of money to the bride's father? Can we get our money back?

For a moment I don't know any honest Romani, me and some members of my family (greatgranny and granny) in Ukraine and lately here in Italy were fooled by Romani (they adore gold things and stole the from my grannies...), and at my work (I worked at Body shop years ago) they stole products 6 times in a year, they were 8 women and... it was a nightmare. BUT I think there are some honest people, for now I try not to communicate with those ladies, because of my multiple experience. Aah, I used to know also a young man, he told me a lot of interesting things about Romani community in Lombardia (Italy) So I avoid them as much as possible and I hope not all of them are the same.
