Description Location: Prague, Czech Republic

I observed that "Begging" in Prague, was a very disciplined and organised business.  There were fixed locations where they could be found and they rotated the positions daily and I often saw them eating Fast Food takeaways and Coke and even Caesar Salad. (Gosh They Were eating better than me)

That's similar to those who beg here too.  Having a dog is also a big thing. They get more money if they have a dog with them.  Unfortunately, the ones here in the US tend to use the money they are given to blow it all on alcohol and cigarettes instead of food.

From what I have heard, these ones are mostly Gypsies from Romania/Hungary and they spread through Europe in a very professional manner during the summers and live like kings in their own countries during the winter season
