WHAT I LOVE ABOUT JAPAN: purikura

If you’re my friend on Facebook, you might have seen my latest Japanese love in my profile pictures: PURIKURA.

WHAT I LOVE ABOUT JAPAN

Skin care, make up, nails, body care, bath products, perfumes, hair care .. I'm a big fan of everything that has to do with beauty. And so, drugstores are a little piece of heaven to me. 

If you love me, bring me to a drugstore. 

If you hate me and want to get rid of me, bring me to a drugstore and you won’t see me for the coming hours. 

Sure, I can wander around a Dutch drugstore and have a good time, but choice seems limited and prices are high so I don’t linger around too long. US drugstores are a big step up.. everything you need, want and more is available and for reasonable prices. 

Asian drugstores, and Japanese in particular, are on a whoooole different level. The beauty industry seems to be a lot bigger here and that reflects in the stores. I took a bunch of photos and I don't want to take up all of your bandwidth so just click to read more.
