This is just the fun book you would hope to read to find out more about a country. Lots of questions you might not have thought of before but once you know the answers you'll wonder how you never thought to ask.
I bought books similar to this when living there as I love to get underneath the skin of a country and its different ways. Things I knew before going there and things learned when in a country are very different but this book manages to merge the weird and whacky, serious and otherwise without it feeling like a history lesson. Written in the form of questions is good too - links and flows well. Answers are educational without you feeling you're sat in a classroom. All books make you wiser and richer and this one definately does!
