Constant moving influences the Roma's way of life. Initially, Roma
lived in tents, gradually these are being replaced by wooden huts
or by cars, transformed into functional lodgings. Their homes are
easily carried or rebuilt in another place. Their crockery, soft furnishings
(yioukos) and portable icon stands are easily moveable. The modern
Roma household with television sets and electrical appliances reveals
Greek influence. Furthermore, the Roma with their trade activities
contribute to a wider use of certain household objects, such as summer
plastic chairs.
