I am convinced that this is a very bad estimate. I was at Nino Bien too, last night. I guess there were some 60 - 70% foreigners and the rest locals. This is still a lot. I base my estimate on the fact, that I was living here until 2002 and went frequently to this milonga and did recognice lots of local people. I also asked some ladies to dance which I did not know before and met argentineans. One waitress commented that in the area which she attends there are mostly local habitues (this is where she is getting tips from). I talked to an argentinean girl about those percentages. She estimates there were 40% foreigners, but admits, that it is mainly her (local) friends that ask her to dance. And I did have some very nice dances with argentinean and american and swedish ladies. I dance the argentinean milonga mainstream style.
