One of the good things about Berlin is the Photoautomats. I have seen the future of Photoautomats in Sweden and it was 50SEK (about 6€) and gives you a single shot four times - which you get to choose from a number of shots beforehand. And it looks like a digital photo printed on the type of "photo paper" you buy for your printer. Of all of those not great things the one that stands out as terrible would have to be the single photo x4. Whoever designed that feature must have never in his or her life visited a Photo Booth.
In the traditional Photo Booth what you get is basically an ultra slow motion flip book of your life. Four moments in time - none of which, generally, you were really ready to have your photo taken in - captured on film. And when you add friends, all hell breaks loose.
And in Berlin all this is for the taking - for the extremely reasonable price of 2€ you get four seperate black and white photos taken. Just go to Rosenthaler Platz next to the Kebab guy who is always playing Johnny Cash (across from the Circus Hostel).
And then there are the Purikura booths all over Tokyo and Asia which are like photo booths on acid, and also totally fun. I mean, they have arcades with ONLY these things inside and they are packed with Japanese teens.
