On the steps of the sé of lisbon, the city's grand cathedral, this woman shakes her empty cup at tourists and PARISHIONERS. it has rained most of the morning and i'm surprised the woman remains at her post. according to the local tuk tuk (mini taxis) drivers, this woman is of romanian descent, a gypsy and begging is . "No one bothers her," one driver mentioned. "The church, the police, the drivers, no one wants trouble." prejudice and fear accompany this woman everyday.
