You have surpassed the United States in building malls, says Michael Dove, an American from Boston. An English teacher at the University of Matej Bel in Banská Bystrica, he considers language and natural beauty to be the biggest assets of Slovakia. The best parts of life in the Hron valley are hiking and cultural events. Dove wishes that attitudes toward foreigners with darker skin colour were more accepting.
