PUBLISHERS` NOTE

Ever more frequent international travels are a characteristic feature of the present day. They not only witness to progress in the technique of transport and the widening horizons of the modern man. Millions of tourists visiting yearly all parts of the globe get acquainted with the living conditions, hopes and aspirations of other peoples. Getting to know each other contributes to mutual understanding and rapprochement between nations and is the best if not the only way to establish lasting close relations.
We publish this modest book with a sincere wish that it may aid the visitor and add pleasure to his stay in our country. We also wish that this book may help him to make closer contact with the people who live and work in our country. We shall be happy if it succeeds in serving this purpose even in a small way."
