The Xenophobe's Guides

I sifted through these books at Books Etc in London back in November. They are at the same time entertaining and supposedly accurate portraits of national cultures. Accurate descriptions of collective personalities is not something that's easily found, since it's so hard to generalize about a group of people while remaining unbiased (maybe I should say "detached").

Now I want to write The Xenophobe's Guide to Brazilians.

Dutch, the language

For adding random Dutch speakers on ICQ:
"Ik studeer Nederlands. Ik kan Engels, Portugees en een beetje Frans spreken."
