Tango among friends (at July's Milonga in Saigon)

Can a Malysian met up Australians that she'd seen long time before at a Milonga of thousands miles away?
Can two ex-partners form the USA met huged each other again after years apart at a Milonga?
Can two people of two different coutries apart with a single professinal (very rare one!) got to know each other at a Milonga?
Can a New Zealand motobiker "melted" in his most favorite Tango piece with a total stranger lady and enjoyed it that much that he swear to come back to Milonga again after long time of quitting Tango?
Can a non-tango lady from Paris can just sited and watched the Tango alone for a whole night long but still confessed at the end of the night that she's going to love Tango?

ALL THAT POSSIBLE AT SIEMPRE MILONGA! hosted by Ta.Tango family in Saigon - an proactive 24-hour buzzling city of Vietnam. That night was one of the best Milonga that Ta.Tango have ever hosted and attended!

Despite the pouring rain of the mosoon season, the night was so cozy and friendly that inspired DJ to deliver his best performance. The Music was "hot spot" of the night! Golden age well-known pieces are beautifully mixed with Tango Vals, main theme of the night, and "paused" with some of stylish jazz songs as an alternative to tango. Unexpected final song, a bit personal though, did its part to make tangueros to remember about this Milonga in Saigon for long.

Siempre Milonga! started late 'cause of the rain and finished late at night, despite the crowd's screaming for "one more tanda please". Such a "scream" and smile of all Tango friends from nearly all continents in the world were the BEST REWARD to Ta.Tango family and it will be the main inspiration for us to further develop Tango in Saigon, and Vietnam!

Siempre Milonga! Viva forever friendship in Tango! And of course, Always Tango!
