Popular culture today has reached a point where it's never been more bizarre. 'Popular culture' is a term that describes a kind of public psyche or shared opinion for what's currently in vogue or in style, who the 'household names' are and what everyone is talking about around the water fountain. Of course to an extent the major news items will dominate these kinds of conversations and blog posts, but more and more in recent times we've had other things on our mind. For example, you might find yourself asking your colleagues whether you 'saw that thing where all the inmates of that prison where everyone danced to Michael Jackon's Thriller?'. This is how pop culture has become bizarre.If you don't know the video then chances are that you might know one of many others. You might be aware of man who cried on YouTube and told his followers to 'leave Britney alone', or of the runaway unexpected stars 'JedWard' from Xfactor in the UK.These are the kinds of things that you couldn't predict would have such an effect, where the public have spoken on what they enjoy and by word of mouth a boy wielding a light saber or a cat playing a keyboard can become a legend. Meanwhile you get your pop...more

However, should you wish to have a brief or extended foray into the sea, Malaysia is ideal for snorkelling and diving with superb coral, fish, wrecks, turtles and much more. Mount Kinabalu is another Malaysian must see, with a staggering amount of biodiversity and endemic species, every trip you are almost guaranteed to see something you've never seen before. With somewhere between 5000 to 6000 species of flora, including 800 species of orchid, the vegetation is out of this world, especially the insectivorous pitcher plants, some of which are found nowhere else. The hike to Lows Peak is hard though requires no mountain climbing, but the view from the top is spectacular, due to its national park status, all tourists must be accompanied by a guide.
