Public Service Announcement

I think Rick Steves should add this to his guide about Slovakia:

Things to avoid in Bratislava pedestrian zones:

-Canine excrement (it ain't Paris, people. No one cleans it up)



-Human saliva

-Cracks in the cobblestones (i trip constantly)

-Diplomatic vehicles

-Marxist pigeons





-Rogue civic vehicles (police cars, garbage trucks, postal delivieries...it goes on)

-Restaurant delivery trucks

-Annoying tourist groups



-"Nota Bene" magazine hockers

- Domineering Taxis

Better idea - I think Rick Steves should hire you to write his guide book about Slovakia, or at least the chapter on Bratislava.

We all love Rick Steves for his practical, insightful and on-target recommendations for hotels, sights, restaurants/pubs and the like. We've used his books for England/Scotland, Spain, Italy and France, and he was spot-on every time. But, he gives short shrift to Slovakia in his current guidebooks. Having visited there and been escorted by the best guide in Bratislava (you!), I think he should get in touch and have you help him update the current text.

But perhaps I'm biased .......

It is time for the next generation. Start your won travel guide series. But you better watch those cultural comments. Sure enough.
