OK. This is the kind of book you should read before visiting the place. Give you a lot of info about the local cultures without the usual crap that you got from the tourist office.And there are bits of good laughs here and there. But you have to know a bit about the culture, from TV or magazines to able to get the jokes. The good thing and bad thing about globalization, is that sometimes, joke could be universal too.I would give it 3 and a half stars. For a non brainy book, this is already a good one. So, I feel kind of generous.
