An Interesting blog to follow for learning about the world's peoples and cultures is Pocket Cultures @http://pocketcultures.com/ "PocketCultures is an independent site which aims to increase connections, awareness and understanding between different cultures. The best way to learn about life in different countries is to go there and see for yourself, talk to people from that country. However travelling abroad is not always possible. PocketCultures provides a place where you can go to find out about what life is really like in different countries that you haven’t travelled to, and hopefully to find even more information, and join in the discussion about countries you have visited."
