Re: [Cz-L] Leaving Czernowitz

Anny,
  I follow with suspense your adventures on your way out of Czernowitz.
   The Tulcea hotel with no hot water for almost a year.
     The only comfort being the single whore living at the hotel.
     One whore for a 20 room hotel is not much but still better than no
whore at all.
      It was a war going on.
          A sehr a scheine Hotel.
