ぶった豚とぶたれた豚がぶっ倒れた」

少し好奇です。

Hello world

As a graduate student working on condensed matter physics, the life filling with equations and experiment data is a little bit boring. Then I decided to touch something else, else than science and engineering. History? Philosophy? Art? Literature? Hum... It's hard to imagine, as a non-native English speaker, what will happen when facing tons of strange terminology and obscure expression.

Well, if the language is the first obstacle, maybe, it's not a bad idea to start on it. If it's going to try any one, something totally different from English might be more interesting. Then, there I am, in an elementary Japanese class.

Sorry that forget to introduce myself: 私わDengです。Princeton Universityの大学院生です。初めましてどおぞよろしくお願いします。
