Purikura! 1

I thought I would show you all the wonder that is Purikura!! This a big craze in Japan, and has been for a couple of years I think. Purikura are little photos that you do with your friends...you go into one of the cute brightly coloured booths...you have your photo taken (like a normal photo booth at home!)..and then you decorate the pictures by using a little computer screen outside the booth. You use this kind of pen-thing...to change the backgrounds, add borders, pictures, writing, themese..whatever you want!!! They're soooooo cool! They are particularly popular with teenage girls, who have notebooks full of the little pictures that they take with their friends at the weekends! In my 2 years in Japan, my aim is to be one of these girls! I want a notebook full too!! I'm getting there, as these pictures show!
