This woman from London took eight foreign trips last year. She is a mistress of fake self-criticism, as in this bicycle trip to Austria. "We needed speed to complete the ride, but it was no good. I was a slacker, stopping to smell the flowers, admire the views, visit medieval churches, drink the wines and sing, while biking along." But all is not well. "By the time we finished the tour, I sensed another side to Austrians, an underbelly ... deep buried in their national and individual psyche was a denial of their undoubted foul activities, and a lust for the spoils of war." Luckily their next trips are to Chile and Iceland, two nations which apparently lack foul underbellies.
