How many of you have seen or read Memoirs of a Geisha in which the girl must go to school to learn the talents of a Geisha? Well, since coming to Hong Kong I have been going to classes to learn the talents of a Tai Tai (Chinese wife). I took a series of 5 classes in Ikebana, the art of Japanese flower arranging. And I've had 3 classes in pearls so that I can evaluate, grade, string and design pearl jewelry. I took these photos with my camera phone, so they aren't that good. The photo of me with the pearls doesn't look like me at all.
