Salsa dancing at La Rueda - Bangkok, Thailand

Ok..now I’m in Bangkok, Thailand. An old friend of mine told me to go to “La Rueda”.



La Rueda is a small and cozy place to dance salsa. Tonight it wasn’t too crowded so the dancing was good. The only thing I didn’t like too much was that it gets too hot, but I was able to manage.

Is there salsa in Delhi?

I’m currently in India. Delhi to be exact.



After having a couple of good days of meetings, I’m ready for some salsa dancing. I searched the net and found a place called SSTEEL.



I made sure that I called the place before venturing to this place and they did confirm that Wednesdays is Salsa Night. I arrived around 10:30PM and was greeted by an unfriendly bouncer who told me that they only allow couples to go inside. As you could imagine, I was shocked and dissapointed. I tried to tell him that I was visiting from out of the country but the unfriendly bouncer kept saying “no stags allowed”.



If the flyers, website and even the phone call that I made before going to the venue would have mentioned their rule about “couples” I would not have been upset but as you can clearly see http://www.salsa-india.com/parties_specials2.html, their flyer does not say anything about this rule. Needless to say I was very dissapointed and hope that things change in the future for other salsa-travellers that end up in Delhi.

Qba in Kuala Lumpur has good salsa.

Sure enough…I came back to Qba….this place rocks. Or should I say..this place salsas!!



This time around I saw some of the more experienced dancers from Latinos. The band was good but they play some of the same songs as the previous nights.



If you ever make it to Kuala Lumpur, go to Qba and enjoy a nice night of dancing.

Qba at the Westing Hotel in Kuala Lumpur

Today I went over to Qba at the Westin Hotel.



This is a much smaller place than Latinos but for some reason I like it much better. They also have a live band and the atmosphere is really great.



The outside seating is really great…kind of gives you the impression of being in Cuba if you ignore all the tall buildings in the surrounding area.



I think I’ll be coming back to this place again.

Where to salsa in Kuala Lumpur.

Just arrived to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I checked into my hotel and quickly found out where to go Salsa dancing.



The concierge recomended two places:



- Latinos – Mutiara Hotel

- Qba – Westin Hotel



Today I decided to go to Latinos and I had a good time. The dance floor is spaciuos and they have a live band. The DJ music was good as well.



The only strange thing was that just around 1:30am, the format completely changes….it becomes a hip-hop night. So after 1:30am, there is no longer Salsa.

Salsa Caribe after midnight….(on a weekday)

So here I am…in Tokyo, Japan. I’ve had the chance to make it back to Tokyo and as always I ended up in Roppongi.



I went back to my favourite salsa club in Roppongi. “SalsaCaribe”, this time around it wasn’t as crowded as before because it was already past midningt and people leave early in order to catch the last train.



Tomorrow I’ll try to make it here earlier.
