Open in the afternoon are the coffee shops, which sell tea and a conecoction made of half coffee (brewed in some unimaginable: fashion)

it is coffee. So be it. And, if you
want them, they have sandwiches the
innerside of which (due to war shortages) are very thinly coated with
delightful salmon pastes.
