Jacob In Japan #19 - Fa Kin Print Club

This video addresses the unique Japanese habit of bastardizing English words to their first key syllables. Take "Fa Kin" for example. An expletive? Far from it. The resturant's name is First Kitchen. So it's customary to pronounce only "Fa" for First and "Kin" for Kitchen. So it sounds like FaKin. The bulk of the video is of the most amusing photo booths usually occupied by groups of Japanese schoolgirls or possibly young couples who take several photos and then get to edit them with their choices of silly icons, pictures or phrases. You can also write messages with an electronic pen. These photos are then printed and you can all cut them up and share them. Jacob and I were accompanied by an actual Japanese person, Aki. She knew how to do all this and also explained "Pu-Ri Cu-Ra" as it is called is really the bastardized version of Print Club.
