Salsa with a different twist!


LOTs of commuting done on a warm, sunny day yesterday. Strangely, the weather was extremely good and having such a beautiful day fall on the weekend....IT's priceless! It definitely lifted my spirits and provided me with more energy than I usually have to go for salsa at three different places in Tokyo. Well, I didn't really move any muscles other than my eyes and hands for clapping when I watched my other salsa class members perform at the cultural center in Morishita. Right after the performance, we shifted to Sumidagawa river by foot for a 飲み会 (drinking party) while we danced a little to music next to the unsettling river. As the sun slowly began to set, the temperature dipped and started to get a little chilly. But there's no worry because in Japan, there's always a 二次会 (second drinking party), where we continued drinking, eating and dancing (well, more drinking & eating than dancing, though I didn't drink a single drop) in a 和室 (Japanese style room) in Akihabara. It was 最高 (the greatest) as I'd never have imagined dancing salsa along a river and in a tatami room and especially on the same day!
