Day 17: First tango in (a city that's a bit like) Paris

Do tourists that come to Britain learn to Morris dance?

I've never tried the stick-bashing, but decided to spend my birthday, and my first day in Buenos Aires, learning to tango. Ian said it was just like sweeping up leaves with your feet. When in Brazil, we had both struggled with the samba, until he said that it was simply stamping on ants, so I considered him an authority. Sadly, our tango teacher Kristal disagreed and insisted there was some technique involved, after all.

I have video footage of our efforts but I'm having technical problems uploading any pics or videos. You have been spared.

THING I DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE TODAY:
Taxi drivers here watch TV while they drive
