Local residents are complaining about the tourists taking pictures of the geiko and Maiko? Who are they to say? Why is it their business? Every maiko and geiko I have spoken to personally say they do not care if people take photos of them. They just don't want to be touched. That was their biggest complaint.

I had a few of them walk right in front of me while I was in line and even after yelling at them to get to the back of the line they looked at me like I was in the wrong. Do they just get away with this back in Russia? I have no clue since I've never been there.
