Xenophobe's Guide to the English

I've purchased 6 countries so far on these Xenophobes Guide books. It's the most unique, time saving way to understand any culture. All the research has been done for you and condensed in a neat little book that you can travel with. Quick to read, extremely informative, unbiased and very funny reading. I plan to have the entire collection. Highly recommended.

Written with a good degree of wit and observation it is a shame that the book is not longer.

I'm taking a trip to England in a couple weeks and I was going through the travel section where they have the travel guides and I came across this book and I thumbed through it...And since I correspond with people in England it was very interesting to me...and as reading it I found myself smiling cause of some of the things mentioned were true, and I couldn't help but buy it and read it completely. Despite the fact that I found it focusing on the negative aspects, I think that that is to prepare you for some facts that you will find true in the English...(The good side will always cheer us, and the person I deal with is full of beauty and life, but the bad I rather not be surprised with). Overall a great insite to the mentality in a comical way.

This book reviews the English way of life, with all its pecualiarities and also with its contradictions. You will enjoy it if: a) you know the English way and check that you weren't the only one to find those strange behaviours. b) You are an englishman/woman with good sense of humor that enjoy knowing how the people see you. I can't wait to read "Xenophobe's guide to the Spanish", just to check if I have the sense of humour I've always thought. It'll be funny to know which aspects of my daily life are strange to the others.
