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.

I looked up a few books stores to try and find a guide book about this country – and nothing. I must admit though I didn’t check out if there was a section in the Africa books. However country books were mainly for South Africa and Kenya. Coming from Sydney from my brothers wedding weekend it was my seventh long haul flight in around 6 weeks – I was tired but am getting use to airports and long haul flights and I found myself mouthing the emergency exit demonstration. The flight was not very nice – we seemed to go through a storm – it was pretty spectacular until we hit a huge air pockets and it turned into a carnival ride when people sneak on food and drinks. Getting onto the flight to Lagos at my transit point of Dubai, two things were apparent, the Nigerians travel in numbers and love duty free…The cabins were overflowed with duty free bags, and I was confused as to who knew which bag was whose. Landing in a new country I find exciting – always. The start to the ...

A Title by The Whitlams

Melbourne. It took a short time to see the things I love about this city but I have finally landed in an amused state. Individuality really stands out in this city, though it is small it has a lot of diversity. Those that have travelled on the number 86 or ventured into the smith street supermarket will know what I'm talking about..in particular on my tram ride one morning in an hour I saw polished women to men who became women, but still didn't appear to like the idea of shaving legs. Funky looking guys, to men who have a bowl haircut and wear Hawaiian shirts - which quiet frankly just looks like they want to hurt someone. Chic boho to what I'm going to call boo hoo when it doesn't quiet look right and are obviously still in transition from the eastern suburbs. I have successfully ended my last few days here with my close friend, Kylie's wedding. The hens party was a success due to a rather entertaining guy doing puppetry tricks that was once a man's best ...
