Congratulations to the winner, Isabella Moore from New Zealand!

So tango
I feel happy returning home at 2am last night catching the last train from the city. I've been to my first milonga, dancing and watching real life tango for almost 5 hours. It was an amazing experience!
Half year ago I've thought I can not dance at all. It is changing since then with the help of Sophia de Lautour (Alvarez), my tango instructor, who is passionate about tango, very friendly and patient teaching someone who was not born to dance. If you wish to try learn tango, especially in North Sydney or Eastern suburbs, please take a look on the web-site of her school: So Tango: tango classes and private lessons in Sydney.
The topping of the evening were 3 tangos performed by Natalia Hill and Alejandro Aquino who showed the art of tango haute couture. Watch them dancing in Taipei last year:
First month with Yatango Mobile
A month ago I have switched to Yatango Mobile from Vodafone prepaid $29 plan per 28 days (well, it was 30 days when I'd started with them 3 years ago).
In short, the result is I've paid $22.44 for a whole month instead of $29 I would pay with Vodafone.

Sydney from above
Last week I've took a scenic flight with Sydney Seaplanes to Bondi Beach, then along North Beaches and around Sydney Harbour. Well, initially I've booked a flight through Sydney to Blue Mountains, but on that day Blue Mountains were covered with clouds so nothing was visible. Thus I've got an extra to Bondi Beach along Vaucluse and Dover Heights in addition to standard scenic flight along North Beaches.
Here are some photo from this flight.
