Interesting! just requested a free one.. lets see if I get it.

I've got one. The print version is *much* better than the on-line thing. What do you want to know?

do you find it useful/informative?

My take on it is that it would be good for beginner international travelers who may not have a highly honed sense of how to cope with cultural differences. I looked into ordering copies to give to the students at my university who were planning on studying abroad. I don't think it has a lot of new material to offer for those with highly developed inter/multicultural skills, though the information was nicely presented and I found it interesting enough to look through because of that.

Does that help? Let me know if you have other questions. The booklet is buried (probably deep) on my desk at work, but I will begin excavations soon, so when I come across it I could offer specifics, if you wanted them.
