Here is what others are saying about The Foreigner’s Guide to Living in Slovakia:
Written by Margarete Hurn, an American who has lived and worked in Slovakia for more than five years, The Foreigner’s Guide to Living in Slovakia is a straightforward guide for travelers visiting this European nation for a few weeks or a few years. Chapters offer a brief overview of the Slovak people and their culture, legal matters such as applying for a visa or extended-stay permit, social and business customs, basics in adjusting to the local food and public transportation, recreational activities available, Slovak etiquette in both business and social circles, and much more. An absolute “must-have” for anyone preparing to visit Slovakia.
