This is a fun glimpse into the concept that customs differ in other parts of the world. While this shouldn't be taken as a substitute for a cultural anthropology textbook or a lonely planet guide to a location, this is certainly an engaging read designed to appeal to anyone with an interest in cultures and/or the urge to strap on a backpack and buy a ticket to anywhere in the world.
I loved the lists of the best and worst gifts for different locations and the overview of lucky/unlucky numbers in different parts of the world. All in all, I would feel comfortable recommending this book to all but the most American of Americans. Cheers.
