One interesting excerpt:
Not everyone is happy with Europeans' unchecked mobility. People in countries newly served by budget airlines complain that British bachelor and bachelorette parties are taking over Eastern European cities such as Riga.
European Weekends, a Nottingham-based events coordinator, offers one package that features a ``Soviet nurse banquet,'' with prices starting at 55 pounds ($108) per person.
The cost covers five shots of vodka, five female entertainers, a ``lesbian nurse show'' and a meal.
``I know about guys who go to Prague for a weekend of cheap beer, prostitutes and fighting,'' Vertovec says. ``People there really complain about it -- and that's due to low-cost airlines.''
