Answer 2

I'm not sure about a site that explains which side to stand in an elevator or purchasing tickets from a machine or starbucks coffee but if you're looking for which entertainment shows are taking place usually each big city has some sort of flyer or newspaper of some sort giving locations, times, and descriptions of bands and cover charges playing at different clubs and what have you. As far as the other menial stuff just learn by watching what people do is a pretty good start too. If you speak decent english and are pretty clear with your intention I'm sure a really good friend may be willing to help you out as well.

Answer 3

Check out travel sites such as Frommer's or Foders.

Answer 4

I don't think that any culture book would probably be that specific. I recommend that you observe other people doing these activities and then follow their example.

Answer 5

I travel a lot in Greece and Turkey, and our manners are similar. Do what momma taught you, and you will be ok.
