I completed my (first and only, but definitely not last) 10 day vipassana retreat few years ago and i can completely support everything uberuberuber said. Definitely one of the most transforming and interesting experiences in the last years.

To anyone interested in the practice, i can recommend reading [0]. Personally, i started by reading this book and doing some practice at home. After about half a year i attended the retreat (same as uberuberuber). Those retreats are offered worldwide, follow the same rules and are all donation based. List of centers in north-america at [1].
