From the Back Cover:
As featured in the New York Times and Reader′s Digest "An eye–opener into the pitfalls awaiting the unaware traveler." –Washington Post "Can save the innocent abroad from great gobs of serious trouble." –Chicago Tribune Before you raise your hand to signal the waiter, extend your thumb to hitchhike, or flash the "O.K." sign with thumb and forefinger, Stop!
