TOPIC OF THE DAY: Well after watching RIPLEY’S last night, I was totally amazed at the group they featured, called Yamakasi. They were like real life stuntmen you know. They could jump over very high fences and do other amazing stunts, which by the way, they’ve invented themselves.  It is like modern movements mixed with ballet-like motion. They even got their own movie. It so weird that their group have a Japanese-like name, when they are French citizens. Anyway, check these guys out!
