Re: [Cz-L] Visiting Czernowitz

Czernowitz is the town of my birth.
 Until I left 14 years later I have seen no other place.
  This made Cz the center of my universe .
    Does it also make it a beautiful city ?
     Having nothing to compare it this is hard to answer.
    Mother told us that Vienna was beautiful,
    So did my uncle when he spoke about Prague.
      When an old timer shows their offsprings his places of origin
     it is wonderful.
       When the reaction is favorable it is bingo .
         What else would you say after coming 10000 miles
        due East into nostalgy?
