Marseilles
France
They
are stateless, homeless, unwanted anywhere they go – gypsies! Recently, Romas (as they are called in this
southern French city of Marseilles) went head to head with local residents. I’ve
met some around the Eiffel tower a few years ago. They escaped from war-torn
Bosnia via train from Sarajevo to Gare du Nord, which is France’s gateway to
other European cities. Not much is known about Bosnia except for the 1990s war and
unbeknownst to many Filipinos, Medjugorje (famous for apparitions of the Virgin
Mary) is in Bosnia. I gave her a Euro. She
took it and said, "Merci."
