HAHAHAHA. I don't have those type of Enron connections. Even if this where in Kyoto, in Japanese there is a saying, "Ichigensan okotowari" or "no first timers" meaning if you wanted to go to a tea house and be entertained by geisha an existing customer would have to refer you to gain access to such amusements or entertainment.
