The Maiko Experience

When I opened my email on April 1st, I got an email from a friend, Ms. M. I was suprised a little because she only emails me about once or twice a year. She started the email like this:
"While you were away, I changed. and i also changed my job!! Look at my pics!" (Look Below)
Ms. M works for an airline company, and it is a good job, so I was stunned to hear she changed job. But next when I looked at the photos, I was even more surprised...WOW! A Geisha! So I emailed her back something like this: "really? what happened?! you really became a geisha?!"]
and then she replied:
"its a joke!!
working as MAIKO , it has regulation. my age is out of that regulation.
maybe real MAIKO are under 20-year-old girls.
its long long ago....
SO I and my friend just experienced as MAIKO style."

She got me! I actually believed her april fool's prank email for a minute. I am sometimes gullible too....

The past couple of days have been really nice. And the cherry blossoms are in full bloom! It is fantastic! Spring has finally officially arrived! Let's enjoy it!

I know it is a little early for fireworks, but that is Okay.
