The Dirty Laundry - by Paulo Coelho

I know this name. Without cheating and googling it I am going to say that I have read several medium sized books by him. Kind of inspirational stuff.

A friend of mine recently reterned from Spain for a golf tournament and he had photos and what not and said he absolutely loved it there. They were traveling quite posh because the girl who was in the tournament is u-13 ranked globally and kind of a big deal... so they weren't exactly staying in dangerous parts of town. I'll have to ask him more about that trip when I see him again but he lives in a different part of the country than I do.

But yes, morons are everywhere and while there are some nationalities that seem to be a bit better at it than others, they can come from any country.
