Light-hearted information for tourists about the unspoken rules that apply when visiting a pub (short for "public house") in Britain. Topics covered include the basics (such as the "pantomime ritual ... [to] attract the attention of the bar staff without making any noise or resorting to the vulgarity of too-obvious gesticulation"), choosing a pub, pub talk, and pub games. From the Social Issues Research Centre, Oxford, England. http://www.sirc.org/publik/pub.html Topics: Beverages, Society & Social Science, Society & Social Science, Travel Last updated Mar 8, 2005 World Citizens Guide
The highlight of this bandwidth-intensive site, buried in small print on the right-hand margin, is a travel guide produced by students, for students, that provides "25 simple suggestions" for having "a better travel experience while showing America's best face to those you visit." Also find interesting and sometimes amusing facts about countries around the world, and links to related resources. http://www.worldcitizensguide.org Topics: Travel Last updated May 31, 2006 |
