I had spent the whole afternoon strolling Queen Street with Qin, without finding anyone interesting...the streets were totally empty for some reason.
And then, Qin spotted her as she walked past us. Is it just me or she looks a lot like Monica Bellucci, but in a more delicate way?

Gion~Geisha walking away.

They are so hard to catch! Speed walking from place to place, trying to avoid tourists. I really feel terrible for them, as tourists don’t hesitate to run after them to take their pictures, following them as far as they can!

There's even been been reports of geisha tripping and hurting themselves while trying to run away from harassing tourists…

~ JAPAN ~ How much we ❤ you~

What an amazing trip!!! 16 days journey to explore Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka.
