Mariner d'aigua dolça / Sailor for tourists
A Praga em vaig trobar amb una colla de "reclutadors" per als vaixells que fan la volta pel riu Vltava, tots ells d'origen africà i vestits de "marinerito". Tot plegat tenia un deix racista que deu ni dó. No pas culpa seva, pobres, que bé s'han de trobar una feina com sigui, sino dels que els contracten amb aquest rol estil "vapor del Mississippi" en ment. I a l'Europa central!

====================
In Prague I found this inusual "tourism fishing". All a group of old-style sailor clad african migrants trying to recruit passengers for a boat trip in the Vltava river. Obviously the Vltava is not the XIX Century Mississippi, but I think that the "brilliant" and quite racist mind who though about it had this mindset. Obviously not the "sailor's" fault, they have all the right to find whatever job they could find. Mostly consideing how some of them have arrived here!
