Stuff Asian People Like – #2 Purikura photos
Purikura? Purikura is a term of Japanese origin meaning either a photo sticker booth or the product of such a photo booth. Now what is so appealing about taking pictures in a booth? Why not go outside with your friends? There is a mystique, ambiance, magical feel that an Asian receives from using a touch screen to decorate their own pictures. It’s fun adding a flower or star to their best friend’s face. Asians spend hours decorating their pictures, and then they are printed and stuck onto things.

When I was in Japan almost 15 years ago they were called “Print Club”… hence “puri-kura” which is the derived japanese from these words.
