Marina's March Blog Post
Marina here!
Just before year 1 ended, I went to Harajuku with my friends from 1J Suzune, Karin, and Ayumu. We went to a Hawaiian restaurant for brunch. The restaurant is really popular for its pancake. It would usually take more than an hour to get in during weekends. Ayumu and I shared a pancake and an omelette. The food tasted very good!
After that we went shopping in Harajuku. We went to 竹下通り [Takeshita street - this is the very trendy high street where everyone goes for the current in J-fashion - PW] and looked around. We bought some accessories in a shop called Paris Kids. Then we also went to shops like Wego, Spins, and ABC Mart.
At the end we took 'purikura' - プリクラ - together, which all Japanese high school students like to do [Purikura is like a passport photo booth which you enter with your friends or loved one and take pictures which you then digitally 'beautify', with sometimes hilarious results - PW]. Even though we are in different classes for year 2, we had fun times together.
Thanks to everyone in J-class who made me feel welcomed to Japan!
