Tonight I went for tea and supper at the beautiful Geishas' tea house.
とし葉 (toshiha.magic) and としゑ美 (ame.ayashi) really made Paws Pawzouti (opinicus.extraordinaire),
their other guest, and I feel very welcomed and special. Many topics were covered in our
conversation and at the end they honored us with two dances and a flute musical performance.
