Re: [Cz-L] Chernowitz Day Celebrations.(Video)

  My impressions of Czernowitz are mine .
    You may like them or may not.
      I do not accuse anybody of anything.
       My showing the traditional bread and salt reception is criticism ?
        But this is not the first time...
          I will of course not stop writing .
