Linkies March 14th
This week has all been about the blogosphere for me. Starting with getting excited about a great Germany blogger meetup happening in April, then a new Facebook group for this blog (‘like’ it with the widget to the right!) and now I’m embracing Instagram as well – follow me @miss_igirisu – I feel very excited and happy to be part of this awesome community. I’m so lucky to have so many really awesome people coming to this blog and I love the friendships I form through it. Though work is tough right now I’m hoping to spend a lot more time and effort on improving things, writing more and embracing lots more social media in the coming weeks.
Let’s Linkie!
First of all, let’s go to Berlin where my awesome buddies Leather and Abel went to a Sudanese restaurant that I also really enjoyed when I was there. If you happen to find yourself in Berlin do check it out – the peanut sauce is out of this world!
If you’re studying Japanese you might want to check out some of these apps – they look really great!
If you’re wanting to see parts of the internet that are geographically restricted…like in Germany wanting to watch Netflicks or GEMA blocked YouTube videos, then this plugin may be for you!
I really love these feminist stock photos! I’m really sick of seeing the same old cliches over and over in photos.
As someone who would really, really love to buy a house in the near future but thinks that this is pretty impossible, here’s a gen-y-tastic piece from The Guardian on why it’s great to rent (I say this through gritted teeth as I may or may not be having to listen to people having sex as I type this…)
Sticking with The Guardian, here are some of their thoughts on how to write for all the Englishes.
A man who treats women with respect was asked what his secret is.
And finally, anyone who speaks more than one language can probably relate to these. Read the comments to see loads of examples of how people have tried to get around not knowing a word in another language.
Have a great weekend!
(PS I promise this isn’t out cat Yannick!)
