Is there a reason why strictly ballroom is not a reality tv show in Argentina

I dont watch very much television these days but somehow you are still aware of what reality tv shows are on even if they are in a foreign language, including Gran Hermano (Big Brother) and a celebrity circus show.

One show that is clearly absent is Strictly Come Dancing. Is there a bad thing to say about the way latinos dance..really!! Even the token nasty judge. Pretty hard to find a criticism is my theory why the show couldnt work here.

I went to see a BA "West End" show called Tangueria on Wednesday night just gone. Highly recommended. Watching tango here is quiet spellbinding and I must say exceeded all of my expectations.

So I have passed my first exam, and I have even advanced to having small discussions with taxi drivers and a small applause please, can even say my street name properly.

Most of my friends here have extended there stay, and I look to do the same. I should be checking into that on Monday. Im excited about seeing more of this contient, but at the moment, while I can Im going to stay where Im having fun...now that is what a holiday is all about.

You cannot spend less than a full day in MP, there is so much to see and do. This place feels like you are on top on the world, it is so steep, and when you have a narrow path to walk on and a sheer drop it is not for the faint hearted.  We both then spent the day rummaging around the ruins. We made out way from from Cusco to Lima via bus which is also not for the nervous person. It resembled a rollercoaster ride with loads of unmade sections. One of the drivers thought he was a in the formula one, we managed to distract ourselves by taking silly videos of pretending to pan pipe on little pipes Fanny had purchases to the mus
