- Summary:
- "A group of middle-class Viennese tourists lands at the Mexico City airport to begin an extended tour of the country and its culture. What could go wrong? A great deal, it turns out, both within the group with its skewed dynamics and between the group and "the locals" in this often hilarious clash of cultures"-- Provided by publisher.
