Japan -- Geisha Girls

In Japan, Geisha Girls are different from how Americans perceive
them. They are not at all similar to prostitutes, but are expensive
entertainers. They study certain instruments, or dancing, or other
form of entertainment from an early age and are hired at a large fee
to display these skills at social events.
