Welcome to the Buzescu village, located not far from Bucharest, Romania.
Gypsies have built here a true tasteless mini-Beverly Hills. As you’re driving down the main street you don’t know on which side to look first. Words are useless, let’s let the pictures talk.

The gypsies are good people, and I must say they are hard working people. They face discrimination everyday of their lifes from ye hillbillies.Some gypsies are rich because they work hard for it. yOU ARE ASHOLE MDY what do you know about Gypsies did you every talk to one? Maybe not you are so prejudice person. Mdy people like you make me sick.

These shots are certainly of in your terms “tasteless” and decidedly garish buildings but I can see no evidence in them that they are “Romany Gypsy” homes – how does one come to know this?
I find it hard to reconcile such elaborate houses with the stereotypical, media-promoted view of gypsies as being mobile, on the road and having no real interest in permanent housing.
Interested in any comments, thanks.

I know this because I’ve seen the village myself and yes, it’s a gypsy village. Of course, not all gypsies have houses like these, only the ones that got rich quickly through various dodgy ways.

It’s so true, we drove through it on Saturday. So wierd, apparently one guy wrote his name across the top of his house with ‘the amazing’ after it. Even more bizarre is that there is a tradition that when a gypsy dies they have to burn their posessions and their home so they don’t actually live in the houses but live in a small room in the garden. Felt very unwelcome when we drove through it also.

You have decided to make an opinion on a culture based on what you are familiar with. Look past your bland, tv laden, corporate driven reality. Understand that people do not see the world as you do. You are a dying breed of xenophobes that hopefully will be fully extinct in the next decade.

Deuce: yeah, sure…we should protect thieves because of their “culture”. I invite you to take a walk or two through that village and a few other neighborhoods I’ll show you and then talk again about being a xenophobe.

to those “smart” people that imagine owners of these houses working hard….think again! a brain-surgeon here can not get that kind of money , but you think an unskilled gypsy person can….what about other money sources? like human trafficking …children forced into begging or young girls kidnapped and sold for prostitution abroad….that kind of money builds this houses.

Molly, That would be great if it was the truth!!! but last week there was a documentary on the BBC here in UK. A local gypsy leader gave a tour of these houses. He explained most of the owners had paid? for people (including women and children) to go to other counties to beg and steal for them. They would send the money back to Romania where it would be used for loan shark activity and pay for houses like this to be built. In fact 3 of the largest houses (next door to each other) were owned by a Guy called Philip who was apparantly pretty much the first person to introduce sending gypsys to the rest of the world for the purpose of stealing money in the Mid 1980’s. I have sympathy with the Roma but not for people like this who exploit their own people and force them into a life of crime. Even the Gypsy leader was fearful that things had gone to far as other coutries have now started to hate and despise the Roma, even the honest and hard working ones.

i also watched this documentary on bbc infact the individual who actually made the documentary was of romanian decent its sickening to see any one of any culture exploited, but the way this culture exploits women and children especially! it is shameful that its taking such a culture so long to intergrate and develop paticularly as its morals are based on what is wrong towards humanity let alone culture which human can justify children and women going to work which is currently involving theiving by innocence i dread to think what will become of these children!

Gypsies in this country are not hard working and not tax payers and not anything but parasites who sponge off everyone and then, hopefully, move on leaving a hideous mess for someone else to clean up at honest,hard working tax payers expense!
They are not genuine Romanies, they are a blight on society.
