About this ebook
Slovakia is a young country with a long history, an enduring culture, and a very old language. Its recent history has been one of frequent change, but the traditions of the Slovak people are rich and easily perceived in the architecture and geography of their surroundings, in their customs and celebrations, and in their general warmth and determination.Culture Smart! Slovakia introduces you to the country' s festivals, social norms, and rites of passage, and the colorful artistry of its folk traditions. It examines the enduring values of hospitality and community and offers insight into the cultural Slovakian quirks that visitors are likely to encounter. It offers advice on how to get around, how to navigate the unfamiliar situations you may find yourself in, and how to make the most of your time in this picturesque yet often overlooked country at the heart of Europe.
