Jan 2009 Update

[Kromat]

Well, I haven't done one in a while, so I thought I'd do one now.

Had the best time during christmas week in Cuba, just being
away from the snow and relaxing in the hot weather by the
pool or beach was quite a relief with only 1 day being
windy and not being able to do anything.

I had never danced so much during one week, as everyday was a joy to
use what I knew during the 6 years that I have taken Latin Dancing.
I didn't feel so much out of place, as some of the other tourists.

Visited Havanna, which really reminded me of the Vatican while
I lived in Italy, but the streets were very worn down.

I lost about 7 Ibs because of all the walking, dancing, exercising that I had done
there, and met some nice people there, that I can keep in contact with while in Ontario.

As for school, I got 74% on both real estate exams, and 75% was to pass,
so hopefully by the end of January, it'll be higher.

Still looking for a dance partner to practice with during weekends, as I can't find one flexible
enough to be available during a specific time because of work schedules or school.

As for dating, until I'm confident with the direction my career
is heading, I'm not even going to considerate it.
I might hang out with females and have a fun time, but not develop it into a relationship.

My group latin dance lessons resume next week, and my brothers teacher is going to
ask one of his students that is new ( Polish as well ), If she would considerate a male
partner like myself to dance more on the side, since I'm familiar with the dances, and it
would help both of us out and I would really appreciate it.

P.S. Well, that is a quick update as to what I have been up too, and I'll write back in Feburary as to
what happened in January and what progress of mine that needs mentioning that is important.

I want to vacation in Cuba.

FYI...it's illegal for Americans. You can get hit with a rather large fine if they find out.

I'd love to go to Cuba, but not as long as it's a communist country, I won't.

There are some ways to visit Cuba legally. I think you have to go with a group that is bringing in some sort of humanitarian aid, or something.
