Cali the Salsa Capital of Colombia


Also a few days in Cali, the salsa capital of Colombia (thats my gay salsa teacher BTW, so much fun except his advice on which clubs to spend our friday night out in! we thought his advice would be a safe bet (less pushy colombian men, if their interests were to lie with other men) but, we underestmated how pushy and forward colombian women would be!). Anyway Sat night we went to the infamous oldest running Chango club in swanky´juanchito´ area of Cali where the idea of two English girls who cansalsa dance went down a storm and we were pulled up on stage given sometacky prizes and asked to pick out winning names from a box and madefriends with the owner. Lots of fun. Lucky for me my Colombian friendLina from work put me in touch with her family who overwhelmed us withtheir hospitality and generosity, giving us their swanky ´art studio´ inthe centre of the old town to live in for a few days which was totallyamazing. Old wooden beams, art work all over, mezzanine floor and greatspace to do a bit of morning yoga. Also got invited to their amazingcountry mansion for Sunday dinner.
