    Have 9 hours to spare? How about spending it watching a 9-hour long video tour of Tokyo, following a man who is walking in reverse the whole time, but with the video presented in reverse. I’ve only scanned parts of it, and it’s strangely mesmerizing to watch. Found via Tokyo Soup.

    I point to yet another great piece about Japan from Said, this time this short guide of his favorite spots in Osaka, done for VSCO. The video montage made up of his photos is fun to watch.
