This is supposed to keep the tourist flow to a minimum. I put my trust in the guidebooks that promised a quiet time on the Caribbean coast and hoped for sunshine when I booked [...]]]></description>

No, it’s not in the industry you might have just thought of. It requires the looks of a model, the personality of a friendly bartender, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, The Pets is a recent Icelandic novel, written by Bragi Olafsson, a former member The Sugarcubes.
