A buskar in Olsztyn

I encountered a surprising number of beggars in Poland. In Krakow they were upfront about it...they'd ask you for 2 zlotys (about 65 cents) explaining it was for beer. One sat by a cardboard box on the sidewalk labeled "For pivo (beer)..."

Lots of buskars, too, some pretty talented. There was a family who played a string trio, and this girl who was really quite good on the violin.

I donated to the more talented of them, including her...
