Geisha, Geiko and Maiko
A "Geisha" is a profesional entertainer whose knowledge in traditional arts, verbal sharp and skills to keep a secret makes her to win respect. This profession, borns in XVII century, has been discredit for the activities of the geishas onsen who make more sexual arts.
The real Kioto´s Geishas prefer to call them "Geiko" (art´s daughter).
Maiko is a learner-geisha.You can only find them in Kioto where they offer public dances in spring and autumn. The rest of the year, you can only see them in a ryotei, ochaya and ryokan ( restaurants, houses of tea and luxury hotels).

Hi Tania
Bettern than "...makes her to win..." you can say " helps her win ...".
"..., born..."
It's very good and writing and the experience in Japan is fantastic. Tell us more about it when you can.
See you.
Hi Borja
"...introducing us to ..."
"I was coming back to ..." "big limosines....policemen" Remember that adjectives don't have plural form and you cannot use the article "a" with plural forms.
"got out".... "behind him a geisha got out".
"She looked like..." "she didn't make...and seemed not to..."
"she had her face painted and wore a kimono, and the man wore ..."
Don't worry Borja, you have improved since you started to write, but go on writing because you will imporove a lot.
Be careful with tenses, you are talking about something in the past, so you need past tenses.
See you..
