Re: [Cz-L] Visit

Everywhere I go, whatever language I speak, with one exception,
people ask me: Where are you from?
The exception is Austria. There are two possible explanations:
1) I have a perfect Austrian accent, I certainly use Austrian
terminology.
2) The Austrians are used to so many foreigners and they are too polite
to ask a stranger personal questions.

Germans and Swiss also often mistake me for an Austrian, but I am
careful
not to use Yiddishisms except when speaking to Bukowiner.
