You know, I'm really looking forward to this trip to Britain I'm planning.

However, it does occur to me that there are some cultural conceptual gaps I'm going to struggle to bridge.

Listening to a certain BBC podcast, I just realised: I'm planning to visit a country where Peter Andre is still famous.

In Australia, Peter Andre was a one-hit wonder in the early 90s or so. The only reason I remember his existence at all is that he's on a Ten Years of ARIA Awards compilation CD I was given for my birthday a couple of years later. With that one hit.

In Britain, he's paparazzi famous.

What the hell, seriously.
