Gypsies

Skopje is full of gypsies, or Roma. Apparently, there's a large gypsy settlement located just outside of Skopje, one of the biggest in Europe. I haven't been there yet, but hopefully I'll go at some point in the next year.

The gypsies are responsible for what little recycling goes on in the city. They ride around in their horses and carts and go through the dumpsters looking for recylables.

Another thing I've noticed is that wherever there is a patch of grass, you can see them grazing their horses and growing things in the grass. This isn't a great picture of that because I was a little far away and trying to take a picture without it being noticed.
