Luis still remembers some of the cities he travelled such as Shandong, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Tokyo, Fukuoka, Hiroshima, and Seoul. He claimed that he has been traveling four times to Seoul, South Korea. When he was asked whether he still retains the same casts during the journey, he answered that every single journey he has taken, there are some minor changes to his personnel.

When he perform Tango in front of the audience, he can see their passion and emotion towards the dance. He mentioned that in Asia, Japan’s people are very fond and enthusiastic of Tango dance. Maybe it is because Japan has close relations with U.S. since 60 years ago and during that period, Tango dance crosses to Japan and began to spread its popularity across the nation.
