Nihon - Day 9

Day 9 - Photo Booths

So my mission today was to find Nanette Lepore and check out the Tarina Tarantino jewellery. Don't get me wrong, they definately had some there, it just wasn't anything I would have bought. So that was a big dissapointment. Then I headed to Harajuku to find Hangry and Angry store, but i couldn't find it. I should have looked in my book because I was so close.

I did however go into one of those photo booth things that are so popular with the teen girls here in japan, and had a blast. It was a little difficult as the machines were all in japanese but it was fun anyway. You stand in a very bright booth to take the photos, these booths are rather large so many girls can fit into one booth. It puts these photos into different frames and shows you each in turn. You then select the photo or photos you liked and then go into the second smaller booth. All the screens are touch screens, but you get pen like things in the second booth.
In the second booth you select your photo and then draw on it or put little sticker things on it. Do this to all the photos till you are done and then press done (or something like that anyway) You then select the layout of your photos to come in a bookmark shaped printing. It will then give you the option of printing more (i think that what it was doing anyway), for Y200 each. It then prints out 2 copies of your photo selection. There are a pair of sissors out the front of the shop to cut up these photos and stick in your photo albulm (or what ever you want).
These places do not allow boys inside.

I had a buffet lunch for Y1300, then caught the train to asakusa and for some reason thought i would walk to roppongi.

When I cam out the train station I was inside the TV building, so I took a few photos of some characters then walked to Roppongi. Only problem was, when I finally got to Roppongi I had forgotten why I was going there in the first place. :-( So i caught the subway back to the hotel again.

I went home via family mart and bought some chips and a bottle of wine, and settled down in my room with my aching feet to relax.
