Brit stag and hen party travelers are a big pain all over Europe, I read a
recent BBC article that IIRC the Latvians are getting *real* tired of the
piggish Brit drunks. It seems a popular "thing" for the guys to do is to
urinate on a Latvian WWI memorial, it would be akin to peeing on the
Cenotaph in London or the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in DC...

Because of cheapo airlines the yobs can travel all over the place these
days...

Prague was a big destination for them for awhiles but as Prague' prices have
risen to western European levels the Baltics are now a popular
destination...

Who knew that the fall of the Berlin Wall 20 years ago would lead to
*this*...!!!???
