Dear Hardy,

You are so right when we refer to ourselves between ourselves.
However Israelis never distinguished between Romanians from the Regat and
Romanians from Czernowitz. To them we were all "tot un Drac" (except we did
not have the pronounced Romanian accent in our Hebrew). So yes, here we are
Romanians, but whenever we were in a jocular mood, and asked where we came
from, we always responded - we are Wiener, and then a question mark rose in
the eyes of the local questioner, so we added, sure, BukoWiener

Regards

Mordecai
