老實說,我不習慣在這裡跳探戈,原因如下
1.音樂很糟,沒有章法,沒有Cortina
2.大多數舞者跳完一首或兩首就休息,根本沒有一個Set的概念
3.沒有人跳close embrace,滿場的Bleo和Gancho紛飛
杜拜得天獨厚,有眾多高級旅館,所以舞會場地都很棒,這是我覺得唯一的優點

Abu Dhabi Trip - Taxi

在阿布達比搭計程車和杜拜不一樣 ,司機並沒有用Meter,必須議價, Liagia和我聯手和這位巴基斯坦司機殺價,最後以2小時約700元台幣的價格成交

Abu Dhabi Trip - Travel with Liagia

Ruben is Mike's neighbor, also a doctor. His sister Liagia is visiting Dubai as a conference speaker. Ruben is driving to Abu Dhabi for a conference today. He offered me a ride there and suggested me to travel with Liagia together.
I'm so glad I did the trip. Abu Dhabi is a very nice city. Liagia is a super fun woman. We had a great time together.
