FelipeH's Tango Story

After one year coming back from Italy, I got on the airplane and flied to Korea. I am always a little nerve about the fly because you can do nothing if there would be something happened. I think those emergency kits were usefulness because you would have no time to use them when it comes over. But I still love to visit other country more than afraid of it. So, I still took my bag, get on the plan and fortunately arrived Korea safely.

For through the airport in the fastest way, I choose taking bag with me always, and then I could go milonga directly without waiting my baggage. But how about those liquid? I put my perfume in a little plastic bottle for eye-contact before and I thought it was a very good idea. But, I find the scent is going out little by little... I hope I could have it still until my last milong in Korea.

Just passing the checking gate, I went forward to rent a cell phone.(People use CDMA system in Korea instead of GSM) It is very lucky I met a service speaking mandarin, although her English is "too good" to make me understand. I think it is because of the pronunciation. She is very nice and explained how to phone foreign.

Then I tried to find a map. There was a gay who looks very simpatico and looked me. So I asked his help. He took me to get a map and, asked if I need a taxi. "oh, I am sorry... I want to take a bus. Thank you." He was a little upset but still very nice. I like it.

Ok, I got a cell phone and map. Now I've got to take bus to Hamilton Hotel. They don't sell the ticket but pay in the bus. I have money in big no. only and the driver ask me to throw them in to the case directly. The case looks like the one used on a bus in Taipei, and I was afraid to lose more 7,000won. Another gay indicate a machine beside and try to tell me it will give the exchanges back. Nobody speak English on the bus, so I don't understand very well and I thought I would lose the 7,000won probably when I putting 20,000won in the case.

I talked with Gustavo about 22:00 in phone. He told me Javier and Andrea will have an exhibition at 22:30 and I've got to hurry up. I was nerves about missing it. Fortunately they arrived and performed at about 22:45 and I had been there more than one set.

In the milonga, I danced with the organizer -"Whai" and the other 2 girls. One was taken by a older women to "invite me", she said nothing from our meeting and leaving. It is really strange. Another one was introduced by Peter Wang, who comes to Korea with his very cute wife Ruru for the J&A workshop too. Peter, Ruru and me talked a lot after milonga. It was almost 3 o’clock in the morning when I went back my room. I was surprised that Gustavo has been inside because he handed out with J&A before the end of milonga. They might talked later if Gustavo doesn't need to work today, Friday.

I thought I would like to be awake until I could call Katie. She has a fly to Singapore about 7:00 and needs to get up very early. But I fall sleep finally. I felt very tired still when I waked up at about 7, tried to call Katie. I was very happy that she replied me very soon when she noticed the missing call. Oh, when I was on the plan, I thought about telling Katie she has an India vacitavol meal on the plan. But I forgot to do it still.

After talking with Katie, I can not fall sleep anymore. That why guys you could see the article.
