It focuses on increased tourism and its affect on local lifestyles, with an emerging "cafe society" with cafe names reflecting a desire to be associated with the establishments in Western Europe. A great account of the challenges to be overcome in attitudes and ambitions, and the many barriers still isolating individuals from other countries.
