A treatise on rank poverty, Mer stylee
In this episode, our heroine Mer talks about the Slovenian Gypsy village she spent time in. Now, she absolutely loved the time she spent in the Balkans and would go back in a heartbeat, but like anyone who's lived in the civilized world for even a month, the poverty in the village became entirely too oppressive. (Oh, and I realize this would be a lot funnier to y'all if y'all could see the expressions and gestures that go along with all this, but the dialogue itself is still pretty funny, imho.)
