This is a great kyoto photo blog. I took quite a long time to see them.
Talking about Kyoto, a woman under 20 years old who has not enough experience is called "Maiko", When she has polished her dance and hospitality, she will be called "Geiko". Then finally she can be "Geisha". This site explains about Geisha very well. This page is a real Geisha blog. The Ochaya is translated into "teahouse", but it is not a cafe. It is the management and lesson office of Geiko and Maiko. This is an ochaya Ichi's blog. Now ichi is recruiting Maiko. The condition of application is just 15 years old and like to learn dance and lesson. It's a kind of special education. *
Wah Lau!
Kyoto is gorgeous! I knew that already, but I thought I'd reiterate. And hopefully be back there soon.

The Kyoto photo blog makes me, yet again, want to run out to the airport and buy a ticket to Japan. *sigh* Next year for sure!

I found the real geisha blog interesting. Of course, I can barely read any of it, but still. I noticed one of the posts was about "United 93" and that was about the full extent of my knowledge. :)

is it just a coincidence that I have chosen the same topic for my blog today? ^^
