If they trouble to stray outside the tourist reservations, they meet with a warmth and welcoming generosity that is unmatched anywhere in the world. In the countryside, peasants offer to share their meal and provide a place to spend the night. This innocent unworldliness, one of the redeeming features of peoples living under Communism, is as yet unspoiled by the worst aspects of Western culture now being imported for the sake of hard currency. As a tourist attraction, it beats striptease and roulette and is surely...
