i watched the start of memoirs of the geisha. a geisha is an artist. they entertain rich business men as moving art (twirling fans, etc). they live in little houses in geisha villages where they buy girls to either train to be a geisha or to have as their slaves. the business men give the geishas lots of money to be entertained and sometimes to sleep with. the money was used to buy elaborate clothing and make-up. the geishas lived lives where everything was done for them- the slaves even opened and closed doors for them.

after watching this film and learning what a true geisha is i am a little unsure whether this is really the right topic for the group to be doing. i will discuss this with them at school.
