Culture Shock: ぷりくら ((photo booth))

((okay not so much of a culture shock for me because I had done Purikura in the past, but...))

Purikura of me and my host sister from a few years back

     Purikura is a photo booth fad in Japan that is a popular activity friends do when hanging out. Purikura can be found anywhere from inside the 100yen store to any floor on the local gaming center. Purikura has something known as ･ﾟ☆Purikura Magic☆･ﾟThe photo booth corrects any blemishes you may have on your face and makes your face one solid, neutral color. The machine also makes your hair color lighter, your face rounder, and your eyes MUCH bigger. (: This machine is definitely stellar and out of this world~!
    After posing for about 6 photos in the booth, you have the opportunity to add stickers and write messages on the pictures.... Some purikura even come programmed with certain celebrities that you can pose with in pictures...

It is all great fun, and anyone who has not tried Purikura definitely needs to try it~
