Hi, I wonder if anybody has seen this book:
http://www.amazon.com/Know-Youve-Been-J ... 097&sr=1-1
Anyway, one of the items state that you know you've been in Japan too long...when you see a geisha. Apparently, to cross paths with a bona fide geisha is quite rare, but it was written that to see a samurai is even harder...
That's interesting....I wonder if anyone knows if the old samurai caste still exist to this day
