El Santo

Ok one of the things I forgot to talk about in the last post was the music here. We certainly like our Reggaeton(sp?) here. But anyways on Thursday night I went to a discoteca called El Santo with my host brother and a bunch of friends. We didn´t get in until like 1130 but we still had enought time. At first they played a lot of technoish English stuff that was alright for a warmup i guess. Then they went into a mix of salsa and reggaeton which was a lot of fun to dance too.
I have always heard, even from the locals, that dancing is really dirty down here but I didn´t get that vibe really. If anything it takes a lot more skill than the straight up grinding that goes on at highschool dances like mine back in the US. If you can´t tell I liked this better. The only thing was that a lot of people were smoking like crazy in there which kind of seemed like a hard thing to do while dancing. They didn´t need a fog machine at least. At least I didn´t get burned or anything but I did reak of smoke when I got home that morning.
The next day I went and saw Harry Potter in castellano which was cool. I don´t really mind tv and movies in spanish now. And the radio is a lot better because there isn´t as many commercials.
Anyways i better be off now I think im going to walk to the plaza close by.
