Xenophobia – an irrational fear of foreigners, probably justified, always understandable.

Xenophobe's® Guides – an irreverent look at the beliefs and foibles of nations, almost guaranteed to cure Xenophobia.

'Virtually all Germans have health problems, and if they don't, there must be something wrong with them.

Most of what ails them is stress related. No nation was ever more stressed, but this is understandable. After all, running Europe can take it out of you.'

Xenophobe's® Motto –

Forewarned is forearmed.
