[Tango-L] Pity the poor Milonguru

[Jack Dylan]

I was sitting in Nino Bien the other night, opposite my partner as we 
sipped our Chandon, probaby looking like a couple of newbie tourists. 
I've been before but not for a couple of years. Anyway, an old guy walked 
behind my partner, put his hand on one of her bare shoulders and stroked 
her neck as his hand passed to her other shoulder. He smiled as he walked 
on. I was also smiling as I asked who he was, assuming she knew him. 
She had no idea who he was. Is this 'normal' behaviour in Buenos Aires? 
I've been in places where it's likely to result in trouble, to put it mildly.
