The article I read came from msnbc.com entitled "Living Like Gypsies". It talks about the growing interest in Gypsy culture and educates readers of the people who first migrated from northern India to Europe over 1,000 years ago. The term "Gypsy" refers to the Romani people and this article explains the history of that culture.
I found this article interesting because it shows how these people used their inventive skills and talents to make a living. Although in Europe these "gypsies" remained at the bottom of the class ladder they managed to make a living through performing and embracing their seemingly radical ideas. The gypsies continued to enjoy their lifestyle without conforming to the world around them. This mysterious society seems to have a rich community fiber and continue to live outside the constraints of the Western European world.
