The Geisha are still real!! I can imagine why people are so fascinated about them, they seem to be coming from a fiction book or another era. I loved this post as much as the photos!

I'm commenting on your blog. Japan looks really cool. It seems like the language barrier would be really difficult, but I bet most people there speak English. That makes it easier. The GBR looks awesome. However, I'm glad that you guys stuck to your skill level. If it was too uncomfortable for WD, then I'm glad that you didn't push it. Stay safe, and keep posting. Nina and I really do read it, even though we don't comment very often. Look! I’m commenting on your blog.

I also read the book, and it's amazing to me that you saw a geisha in person. The paparazzi stuff is hilarious. Wow, that’s really cool.

Japan is the most fascinating country we have been in so far. There are no references in our own culture to draw from to even begin to understand things here. It's fantastic. I rented a camera with a waterproof housing for the GBR dives. It was a Canon powershot... one of the A series I think. I would never by one since the A-series uses AA batteries which I think is a pain in the ass. The dive cases canon makes are expensive but really fantastic--and most of their cameras have an underwater mode which works very nicely. Yes, I totally agree!

The Geisha shots are great ( I read the book too and saw a great Nat Geo special on geishas) and I can't even imagine how wonderful it would be to see one of those ladies in person. No wonder that they attract crowds! As always, stay safe. I look forward to traveling vicariously through your blogs and pics! I took some of your advice and picked up a pacsafe daypack and fannypack for myself. I'm very happy with the products. BTW--what kind of camera did you use for the GBR photos?
