Japan. Geisha Girls.
Cherry blossoms. Sushi. Geisha girls.
Today I want to share a little cultural tid-bit about Japan’s geisha girls. Geisha girls are pretty much synonymous with Japan and quite controversial in character, but do we really understand this custom? I, for one, am intrigued.
Geishas have been around since the 1600 and are traditional female Japanese entertainers whose skills include performing...

The next time you travel don’t be so quick to throw out your extra foreign coins, bills, stamps, postcards, etc. They hold stories and these stories help others understand the global experience.
