Sophia Rosa and Soviet Bloc Countries

acquaintances: This time, my wife took the conversation a little deeper, discovering not only the home cities of our new acquaintances , but also the fact that both had immigrated to Canada from Soviet Bloc countries in the 1960s, according to The Chronicle Herald. Sophia came from Kiev. It was one of those casual, chance meetings that begins with small talk about the beauties of Cuba beaches. Rosa came from Warsaw. Over the next few days, my wife spent increasing amounts of time with both Sophia and Rosa, so enthralled was she with their amazing life stories and their generous willingness to share their experiences with us. And what stories they had to tell. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
