In spite of the belief among many Helsinki residents that these are all "Romanian beggars", a substantial number of these Roma beggars – and in at least one summer the majority – have come from Bulgaria. Yes, some of them are from Romania, but I don’t know why Romania is the sole country ever mentioned in this context. I suppose it is an inability to distinguish between the terms romanilainen (Roma) and romanialainen (Romanian) which, despite sounding similar, are not even etymologically related.
I was just about to say, the only Romanian I've ever seen here is a good friend of mine. I've seen plenty of Roma, though (some of whom are also friends).
