Re: [Cz-L] Our Origins

Silk route was a land route.
 Czernowitz even today is ( was) on the Schmatte route - cheap jeans are
manufactured in Istanbul and hauled in giant bales atop cars and
buses for marketing in Cz bazaars which are the biggest in the
 area.
 Also counterfeit american cigarettes and wedding gowns which is
  a Cz. speciality.
   They have a bazaar on the left side of the Prut ,the biggest around
    where you can find all your heart's desire.
   During the latest Prut flooding hundreds of mannequins went down
   the river,
