Omnipresent at all of these touristy sites are "gypsy" women in long skirts and scarves who approach touristy looking people and ask, "Do you speak English?" When you reply, "Yes," they stand two inches from your face with a hand-written piece of paper that indicates their destitute state and need for cash. After several iterations of this, I got used to replying, "No." We moved to a grassy area and idly watched them go behind bushes and dirty their feet (not kidding about this). Another approached us and before she could get her sentence out, I replied, "No thanks!" in my perkiest voice. She looked me in the eye and elaborately cursed me.
That's what I get.
