On Tofugu (awesome blog by the way) there’s a recent post about how Google Images searches vary in Japanese versus English.  I have used the differences between English and other languages in web searches when I am tracking down some information or publications, but I had never played around with the image search.

Anyway, the article at Tofugu got me wondering about German versus English, so here goes.  I grabbed the top results from each search; German pictures come first.  First up, Katzen vs. cats, because this is what the internet is for:

And the most different of all, Kuchen vs. cake.  The German Kuchens are more attractive to me and more natural looking in my opinion.
