We have got amiable guests during July from Wales. Tina and Annamarie spent a whole month in our place. They came in order to get acquainted with the people in Sajokaza, present the Romas’ lives in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county, in addition current situation throughout Hungary all/whole Hungary. First of all the two ladies took photos, documenting the Hungarian Gypsies’. They become popular very soon among the Romas because photographs got printed, and handed over to the people in the snapshots. They were taken of families, grandchildren, water carriers, the favourite horse, moreover, a tattoo had to be immortalized.

Sajókaza was not the only stay of their trail. Bódvalenke was included in their schedules. They found some thingsto be interesting concerning Romas: painting on the walls of the houses, poems written on them, which may become a touristic attraction in the future. They visited Hungary’s third largest cucumber garden in Igrici, where Gypsies and not Gypsies work together. We hope that the white, cosy van will appear in our yard next year again, and we could talk about Romas, or „The bards in Wales” (latter is a poem by Arany János)

They write about their own experiences in details on their website illustrated it with their own photoes: http://oncewewerebirds.blogspot.com/
