There is no tango mentioned, but it gives tango lovers one more reason to go to BA to spend the vacation money there: tango seems to be the =
only this working in a country where the rest of the economy if quickly falling apart. They surely can use your help!

I don t think this "Titanic" syndrome is a good reason to come to Buenos
Aires. The city is still blooming, with their
5 million inhabitants ( 2 million of them , living temporarily at BA , since
they work at the city , but live outside).

Of course, there are problems. Strikes, a judgment of the former president
Mr. Menem, involved in a illegal traffick
of weapons to Ecuador & Croacia,etc.etc..

But to reduce the economy of a country like Argentina, to 25 to 30 milongas
opened during the week as the final
light into the darkness , is a bit naive .

The average cost of a milonga is 5 pesos/U$s . A milonga venue overcrowded
could host ...200 persons ??

200 persons at all the milongas, every day, all month long ??

u$s 5 x 200 x 30 x 30 = u$s 900.000 , yes, an interesting amount.

The average payment of interest of the external indebtness is around u$s
1.000.000.000 ( a billion of us dollars )

There is still a little gap remaining.

Maybe is time to talk seriously, and to separate economic situation from
Tango at Buenos Aires.

Little Buenos Aires at Miami, will continue little.
And Buenos Aires will continue open for visitors to dance at their milonga
venues, it is not a matter of monies, but
a matter of each individual, to decide what is good for her/him, and acept
the consequences of their decision.

Be welcome to Buenos Aires !!!
