Gypsies. What comes to your head when you hear this word? Caravans, fortune-telling, theft, child marriages... Not all Romani people are nomads — some even have their own cities and districts. For example, the Gypsy city of Soroca in Moldova, where Roms live in luxurious palaces with golden domes, preserve their culture and travel to neighbouring Ukraine to buy goods for sale. Watch my new video to see what life’s like in the Gypsy capital of the post Soviet space!
