This is such a standard pose for Japanese, and something they learn from the moment their parents start photographing them as babies, that none of my friends even know why they do it. Some believed that it's supposed to make your face look skinnier, that was the best reason we could come up with. Hide your cheeks. When you grow up doing the pose, you usually don't care much for the meaning of it, you just do it.
How does people in your county pose, dailybooth?
@Antidotes Noen av guttene ble skikkelig overrasket da jeg sa at de fleste i Norge bare smilte, eller gjorde hvaenn de følte for, og at peace-tegn er veldigveldig japansk. så søte <3
Today I am preparing for moving out of this place. I've been waiting to get out of here for quite some time, and finally it's getting close. My current host family's not the best to live with, to put it nice.
I couldn't hide this from you forever.
Meet Natsumi, my Japanese friend who's become a little too Swedish after her exchange there last year.
Japanese have an other word for purikura (photo booth pictures) with a meaning that implies the picture's fake. I can agree with this, the pictures usually looks really overdone. The good thing is that you get most of them as small stickers, and they look more natural that way.
When my friends told me they would bring "some snacks" to school on Halloween so that we could eat together, I had not expected them to give me all of this <3 ilu Japanese friends
Also, some friends of my friends freaks out whenever they see me, and today they managed to ask for a picture with me. Japanese girls sure know how to ruin your ears by saying "えええええ、かわいい！" in a high-pitched voice.
