What to do / where to go in Santiago

When people come here can find it like a very boring place, but it's not like this.Although you don not believe it Santiago has natural places and art districts.Starting from the orient, remember we have one of the biggest mountain ranges of the world, so you must to visit the Valle Nevado, the biggest winter center of Southamerica, and it is situated at 46 km from Santiago and with 107 km of trails you can make activities such ski, snowboard, heli-ski, ala delta and helisurf. Go enjoy exciting feelings beside of a excelent service. In the center of the city, it's impossible that you can't see the great San Cristobal hill forming the ''Parque metropolitano'' and taking their feet the ''Barrio Bellavista''.The hill is located between Recoleta and Providencia and within it is the Zoologico Nacional and ''Santuario de la santísima Concepción'' in the peak, of course you don't have to climb to the top walking, for it are the railsways and the cable cars watching all the city. If you take down, you will see beautiful and colourful bohemian districts such us Barrio Bellavista where you cannot pass by without get in in its restaurants, pubs and discos and the historic place like the Museum-House ''La Chascona'', the extraordinary house of the great poet,Pablo Neruda. Also there are the Parque Forestal and Barrio Lastarria. Here you will see charming coffees, museums (Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes and Museo de Arte contemporáneo) art in its walls, everywhere! just like the europeans ones. So you can take a walk enjoying the quietness and forgetting the pollutions and noise, feeling you free in a crazy night. Finally you are free to get out of the city and go to visit the natural areas. The Natural monument, Cajón del Maipo offers you an imponent conserved space where you can forget of the rest of the world, going to spas and special programmes of stress reduction wich includes walks, treking, rafting, etc and besides you can do wine tours such Valle de colchagua and Concha y Toro where you will can find out how here the best wines are done.

Transantiago, before and after

When I heard about Transantiago and how this was going to work, I thought inmediately in a bad idea. The bigger size of the buses made me think in a slower frequency, and it was like this at the beggining.
Also I found ridiculous having to take almost always the metro.
Well, such I was thought it was so.
But later, much later the things Started to change and bit by bit, it made better.
As I see: for some people Transantiago is better and others were injured.
I know the yellow buses were more direct, and al though you maybe delayed more, you didn’t have to worry about doing many changes and like this you were quiter during the travel.
Now there are shorter tours and larger too. The shorter ones are master, because there are in your zone.
How I am not from Santiago, I did not use it so much at the beggining and I can not compare with the pre system or with the beggining of this, but I can compare with different destinations: For example if I have to g oto the university from my house it is so exhausting because I have to mix and most of the times to run for arriving early, so it is a little stressful. and If a have to go to Providencia the travel is the best: I take it almost empty, I go seated and is direct and fast.
But I have to say that many things have improved, such as, now the busiest bus stops are faster.
What I do is put a master road in the L1 as those of the green and blue ones, because that line is so collapsed and it have to many stops.
That is all.

A country I would like to visit

I am going to talk about one of my favourite places in the world. First of all, the countries that I like most are the European ones and within them are Italy France and England. Why? Because they preserve much of the romanticism, the art and the traditions of the past ages, but always are ahead of the rest of the planet.So I am confused about what of these I would choice.On the one hand I like the language and the landscape of Italy, but the art that is in the air of France kills me and maybe both are better than England… so my choice will be Italy because I think the people is more gentle and I am thinking in this country for staying a long time and maybe I would visit France between times.

I know a little the language because I listened before a lot of Italian music and I learned to talk a little. I know, also, about its exquisite feed and its perfect clime; The sun, the music, warm people, the fruit, its colours and mixing a classic world with the best of fashion, not forgetting waking up every day with a smile in your face in a romantic country where everything could happen. Those are all things you can smell in a picture.I would like go to the beach and know the classic architecture and art walking along its stone streets.I would love work and live there of course, but maybe for my career is a little difficult so I would travel to there for a short time, maybe to learn the language and I would see how it is, to come back later.What else I could say? Who does not like to live there?

My summary of previous experience

Well, I am going to talk about my experience during the first semester. Obviously when you think about the first time in the college, you think that the life is going to change. And it is like this most of the time, specially for me because I am not from here like the rest of my classmates.
I Knew that the level of work was going to be totally different of the school, overcoat because we have the new course handbook. So we had many courses in a little time, like chemistry, biology, anatomy, etc and now we are studying the same one of the second grade.
At the beggining was diffucult for me, because I was so far from my family and the most of my friends and i had to learn to cook by myself and organice my time so well.
But not everything was so bad. I take the CFG of theater, an experience that I wanted to live from all my life and I entered to soccer team of my faculty too, that, by the way, we finished at the top in the first phase of the championship so I spent a great time and met a los ot people.
And that is all more or less.

Do Schools kill creativity?

Yes hehe... That is the first thing I say when I see that question.
I am talking about a video where Sir Ken Robinson tell us about a truth so commented by many of us, but never analized so well as he does.A way that keeps on attentive and so easy to convince
My admiration Sir Ken.
He says that the typical system education that we have has at the top the mathematics and laguages. And those are most important for the common of the people. We all so convinced that that the way it is, that we forgot many other important areas are arts such us music, painting.We confuse the humanist areas with the thinking. The truth is that we only receive what the ''older people'' teach us, that we don't do anything by ourself, we live in a world where everything has to be stablished, so we are not able to do something new...to be wrong.
I am gonna take a quote of him...It says more or less like this:If you are not prepared to be wrong, You'll never come with anything original.
So true!
Areas as the arts are so much important and do not to be taken are a downtime. It is the only one tool to create. We can take it and do more things than working in scientific areas, engineering and all of that, or maybe we can take it for that, we can take for anything! because arts open your mind and it does not have to be less important. Arts fix everything and move the world.



School kills creativity, ladies and gentlemen, but the old school and we have to create a new school, a school for the life, not for the work.

My Blogging Experience

I would say that at the end I enjoyed my English blogging experience.At the beggining I felt that was a little boring and was so much difficult before than now, to me.As we always worked in the Friday’s afternoons, I think that I was tired most all the time and knowing that we had to stay over here till six PM it was a little annoying but bit by bit it started to like to me and sometimes it was relaxing.In some subjects I enjoyed can expressing my feelings and it was a good chance to do it. But it was another where it was so difficult to me having to writing things that I didn’t matter. Maybe it was because I just wanted that the week ended soon.I can say that the blogging helped to me to think faster in English when I need. At the same time I am going thinking, I am going to writing in English and not in Spanish and that is the most important thing. Also it helped to practice the English, and although I did not learn to much new words, more than anything helped to me to make better my grammar and could solve some doubts.The blogging made that I could pass the barrier of the language.Despite all of that I think we could do things so much productive and actives and not to have to write once and other time because it made so repetitive and we did not go on.Some advantages could be that it was easy to us, because as we were tired, maybe we did not have the energy to do something to get involved more brain activity. Other advantage is the fact that we had the obligation to investigate more about our careers. As a conclusion I can say Blogging it was a great idea that with the pass of the time I learnt to value and it is sad that this is the last.

My Ideal job

My ideal job in an ideal very ideal world would be to be an actress or something like that.For that, you have to, obviously,to have the art skills, those I would like to have much more that I have now. I don’t think it is enough if you don’t born with that and work and work, because you need, more that the capability and talent, you need to have the feeling, the different thought, the emotion, and that is something you can not buy in the shop.Also you need the personality, because all that you do and say will be listened by the rest of the world and that is beautiful of this: communicatingI think I would be good in this job, because I have the personality, I learn quickly and I like to do different things and most of the time, I have no shame of making fools of myself. Despite of all that, I need more practice and honestly I don’t feel prepared to throw myself to act for the life, but we are talking about an ideal future. Aren’t we??I like this job because the freedom that it has, for me, that is so important, but the diffuculties would be being valued an artist, because you are not the only one, and you really need to excel and shine from the rest of the people and you have to know it’s not so good paid, at least you be a famous one.
