Tokyo Gore Police 東京残酷警察



I just discovered this amazing piece of video editing by YouTube user the29nov.
It took me a little while before I figured out which movie it was, but I got it:
Tokyo Gore Police. I'll definitely put it on my to-see-list! By the way,
the music's good too!

Gairaigo 外来語

Gairaigo is the Japanese word for "loanwords".
For the people who don't know me, I'm a Japanese Language & Culture student at Leiden University in Holland.
I thought it would be fun to learn my fellow Dutch a lil' something about Japanese Language and how some
Japanese words actually derive from Dutch words.
Since I was telling someone about it today, and when I looked it up on the internet, I came across this list.
As you can see the Dutch brought in words like alcohol, beer and hysteria. I was surprised not to find words like
"weed" and "prostitution". Haha.

Hexogenik



For some time now, I'm a big fan of the YouTube user Hexogenik. He always succeeds in posting excellent
electronic music and combining it with matching video's, which he finds on Vimeo.
Here's an example, combining some Detroit geniality with the Fibonacci sequence. Enjoy!
