Belly Dance

Tonight I saw something really cool. Zen took me to this lounge/bar that has belly dancers. I have never seen this in person before so I was really excited. After waiting for 30 minutes the girls finally came out. There were two girls. They are only average looking but they really could move. The outfits really helped exaggerate their moves. They danced around to a mix of middle eastern and hip hop and Latin music. I really had a good time and I think we are going to go back next week and get some good pictures. The people tell me that on good nights the girls dance on the bars and the whole place joins in. That should be a sight to see. Interesting side note: to tip the girls people walk up to them and "make it rain" and it is considered normal. Apparently that is the way these girls are always tipped. It was interesting to see girls stand next to belly dancers in a bar in Houston and make it rain. One guy even threw every dollar directly in the face of the girl like a dart board.

Tango List Final

So the trip is over. There are some things I did not manage to do. I never sent the post cards that I wrote, I did not get to visit every city in Argentina, I missed going to Uruguay, I still have not skydived (do to financial reasons). With everything I missed I learned a lot along the way. Setting goals is good. Writing about the things you do makes them that much better. The most important lesson I have gained from everything is that you must keep the sense of adventure alive in yourself. No one is going to take you out there you have to get out there and do it yourself. That is what makes a place yours. For now on I have a new perspective that I am going to take with me to New York. I'm going to approach every place like I did Argentina - with an adventure's spirit. After all what makes an adventure is not what you do - it is the attitude you approach it with. Happy Trails!
