Review: And came back refreshed. Reading this was like spending a year in Eastern Europe, met the people, ate the food, shared the bus, and come home rested, relaxed and wiser all in the same weekend. Good read for an inside look at the new Eastern Europe or just a good time if you like tongue-in-cheek falling off your chair stuff. A+! Fun, funny with some good thoughts.

Summary: Funny AND insightful
Review: Escape to the former Soviet Union for a little higher education with your R&R. Dr. Wright drops insights like bread crumbs on a trail through former Czechoslovakia's intriguing citizens, architecture, geography... Nothing is safe. You've tripped over it; he's got it. A peek at a people in transition from an armchair position. <em>Hasta la Vista, Communista!</em> Afternoon delights for the formerly bored (um, working).
