Are Gay People More Likely To Have Hiv

Kanda Matsuri and Geisha Presentation

By Kai's relations we had the chance with a geisha screening to be there. This type usually costs 12 000 yen vonVorführung, so around 100 €. But today was a special day where you could see this idea for free.

By chance, we then have taken even the Kanda Matsuri, one of the three largest parties cry here in Japan and only in odd years, because otherwise it would overlap with another big party. Although I had seen advertising for it, but had completely forgotten that it was today. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanda_Matsuri
