You're not just going abroad to study, right? You're going there to LIVE, too! We offer these two resources to help you find out a little about the popular culture -- films, music, television, nightlife, etc. -- in the country you'll be visiting

• Britannica
  • Britannica has articles on each country, with sections that cover popular culture. Search for the country, and then use the links in the article to go to the articles on music, film, literature, theater, etc. Use the links to explore particular artists.
• Wikipedia
  • In Wikipedia, as in Britannica, search for the country that you're going to. There's usually a "Culture" section that has up-to-date information on all aspects of popular culture. Make sure to go to any "main articles" that may be linked for the particular pop culture topic. Also, click to external links provided at the end of each article to verify the information and get more details.
