Daniel's story

At okayama there is a place where people can assemble their bikes and go for a bike ride.  I guess there are a lot of French people doing this.   A funny tram at Okayama.  It really appeals to the children in all of us.  I realize just how loud Japan is with all the music playing, the political advertizing, the trains.  It is quite loud in the cities. My breakfast plate at the hotel.  I enjoy the buffet and get a mixture of food items.  The osaka lindy exchange final dance.  It was very nice.  My friend from Mastuyama.  She said she did do this dance before.  The first night she said it was her first time dancing.  We danced to a very fast song.  I led balboa steps and she followed.  I thought it was odd that she followed so well.  Later as we were talking, she said that she had done salsa in Matusyama.  She said that she started not liking that scene so much because they started to do sensual Bachata....

Intensity of desire to succeed, and the willingness to put the hard work into achievement.  I went to Salsa Con Todo for the dance.  They had a pro mix and match contest. Evie has been entering these contests for quite a long time. She has always wanted to get to the finals.  Tonight she made it.  I really think it has been the intensity of her desire and work on practice that made the difference. She is always going to practice.  She takes lessons and trays to incorporate what she learns.  She has a unique style of dance that some people who dance with her do not like, or more than likely they don't understand. She even said  something to me night about the guys who do not dance with her, and it made me smile. It was crass enough  that  I would not repeate it without her permission, but it was kinda of true statement an about one aspect of the  dance community that I don't take part in as well.  On the flip side I am so...
