ダニエルの冒険

Yet again, I fell in love. This time it was with a Maiko! Maiko eventually become Geiko (Geisha) when they’re 20 but this girl was still in training: between 15 and 20. I spoke with her a bit while all the ladies in the shop in the hotel were doting over her dress. She was really lovely and joking around with the ladies. I introduced myself to her and stuff and she was just like any other Japanese girl, though noticeably more softly spoken. That might just have been her though. Apparently you have to pay to see a Geisha’s smile, but this one was laughing quite a bit. One guy was getting his photo taken with her and she started laughing because he was getting impatient with how long it was taking for the photo to be taken. One of the shop ladies pulled me over to the seats set up in front of the “stage” (some tatami mats) and told me that it was the best place. She was right too, because the Maiko was keeping eye-contact with me the entire time. It was a bit creepy at first but I got used to it then and kept eye-contact back at her. Pity they can’t get married. I asked one of the older ladies if about getting the Maiko’s number but she told me that she didn’t think she had a mobile.
