John Bermont
When in Europe, travel as the Europeans do. You'll save time, cash, and grief.

Here's how to:
•  Master the rails and roads
•  Pay less for rooms and food
•  Pack light and dress for travel
•  Avoid pickpockets and rip-offs
•  Find a job, move over, and settle in
•  Handle European money, metrics, electricity, telephones, e-mail, metros, buses, taxis, shopping, customs, languages, health and safety, their weather, your attitude, and much more.

Bon Voyage in 2005 !
