28 Jan 2013 Dancing with the Stars

Alerta Amarilla por el Calor - Orange alert for the heat! Prediction up to 38 degrees.
Alerta Rojo por la polucion - High alert for pollution - in China! Fourth time this month.

I rather suffer the heat, than be poisoned by a level of pollution, that is so impenetrable, that the smoke and flames from a factory that caught fire in Shanghai, were not noticed by any passers by - thicker than London fog at its worst.

La Presidenta Cristina raised the minimum taxable income level by 20%.  Great rejoicing is encouraged. Last years inflation (the real one, not the government issued one) reached 28%.

But, Argentina has a new political friend: Iran.

Great News all over Argentina: the Argentinian girl Maxima is going to be Queen of the Neatherlands, now that Beatrix, the present Queen, will abdicate as of the 30 April. She apparently is married to the guy on the right (not mentioned in the News), who happens to be Beatrix son.

The Sunderland Club, temple of Serious Tango Competitors. I participated in an exercise class in said venerated venue, and found myself in the company of the great and famous of World Class competition: World Champions and Runners Up, all going through the same repetitive process of learning HOW TO WALK with true tango technique and style.
Here are Ines & Sebastian practising their dancing - they were World Champion Salon tango dancers a couple of years ago.
Dancing with the Stars - what happens behind the scene....

And here Carlos and Alyson, a multicultural couple - she is Canadian, he is Argentino.
They reached the finals in the Campeonate de Ciudad de Buenos Aires.
All mingling together..
I have to admit, that I probably was the most 'mature' of the pupils, nobody here had seen their fortieth birthday yet I suppose.
