Santiago

Well, I'm divided, Santiago is a great city, and as such has many benefits, but at thesame time many flaws. Like 50% and i dislike the other 50%

Santiago is a city of extremes, sometimes I meet many different types of cities in it. I find it interesting their diversity, but it is absurd inequality, there are sectors that can not imagine that is Chile, thoroughly modern places such as Vitacura (Sanhattan), and others (who are the majority) where the course came some economic development.


Anyway, as the capital city, Santiago concentrates all trade and services, is a goodplace for education (there are many colleges and niversity), also to start a business or looking for work, etc, etc ...

The cost to be paid for living here, is sharing a city with constant stress, with streets crowded with cars, longer travel times, the smog, people usually get sick a little for all this, and end up changing their behavior. This is totally different compared with cities in regions.

Although if you want peace, there are also areas dedicated to recreation. For example I like the Cajon del Maipo, the one day of camping out on the outskirts of the city, go for a walk to the mountain panorama is also a great weekend.
In the city there are also many interesting places, like the Museum of Fine Arts, Forest Park, and many places to go for party time. Places that for little money can go to hear music and have a great time, such as Victor Jara Galpon.

in ten years time

Well, i have no idea what i will be doing in ten years time xD, but i can safely say is that i'll be working on something different than geography (what i had study). I think i will be in the southern of Chile, in the ninth region (maybe), near to Caburgua or Pucon, i like that place, there are rivers, lakes, forests, fish, cows, big grasslands, etc... very nice scenary.
I think i would be working on something related to tourism, as travel, restaurants, a hotel owner, jaja i hope to have money for a tourism company and live off that, although it is not a bad idea to live off the country either!
The land where i will live will be very large, so i hope to have cabins for many people including my family!, douch! a camping is not bad idea! of course i will share my house with my family and my friends, i will do barbecued all the time, and i will eat much lamb and cow jaja and potatos too!
With this i will achieved my peace with the tranquility of the countryside, and i will do things that i will enjoy, like have natural adventures...
I think the world will be the same, ten years is a blinking in the time, maybe the tecnology will be more advanced, and the conections will be more fast, but the people will be the same...


my future seen like this! XD

greetings!

kill em all!!!! xD

I like much the art is a way to express intentions and deliver messages, is a form of communication for me. Personally i like much the paints, but i dont like to paint!. My girlfriend is studing art and i love talking to her about what is art and talk about painters and painting. we pass much minutes discussing and looking for answer that explains the pictures xD. Well this paint i see for first time when i was 5 or 6 years old in a book of art what i find in my house:

In that time this painting was really scared me, he caused me a little trauma xD jaja. A long time after i returned to see, but this time i found this painting interesting, is called: Saturn Devouring His Children, its a paint of Goya. This painting depicts an era goya decline while a dark time, the paint is completely dark and the only thing that is white in the painting are the eyes of Saturn that are insane, that's why you tend to immediately look into the eyes of the painting. Also is eating their own children because she was told that one of them will be kill him. I think that is not better than other pieces of art, but is different, and is shocking, for that i choose this paint.

CARIOCA

For Christmas once gave me a "big capital". This game is like monopoly, but the chilean version, with concepts and properties of Chile. In that time you could buy companies like; chilectra, ctc or gasco jajaja was so fun... i played that game with my brother and sometimes with my sister. (im the yougest of my brothers, the little brother).
But "gran capital" was the game played by me and my brother, a game for kids. The real game more played by my family is: CARIOCA... it's a playing card game and is played with english cards. I learned to play as a child, the idea was to be gathering letters according to their color, number, forming scales or trios. It was easy so i learned fast. Sometimes i think is a little boring game, long, but you must have to put enthusiasm for an entertaining game. Often we bet to see who wins.
We play in weekends, in quiet afternoons and we do in the living. We hear music, eat chips and drink soda or some cocktail drink while we play. We played for hours, and we spent the night between rounds. When we play we try to do together. When the whole family is together.

Latin american books

i often try to read something different, i download texts from the Internet or i buy in the fair, there are much original and chip texts. I am very messy in terms of what i read, i like science fiction (like Tolkien or Asimov) but i dont like much the novels, only if really have an interesting topics i reads, but if is bored i left them... xD
More than a book, i like this author, his name is: Julio Cortazar. For me, his best caracterist is that he plays with you while you read, He can tell you a story so familiar, but the way he does is special. Rayuela for example is a book where the reader can start the history where he want, and the history keep having an structure. Its difficult to read, i have to read 2 times every sentence of the book, because its difficult to understand some histories and conect with all the book. I like much the tales of cortazar, they are fresh, and never you know wich will be the end, the dinamic of the tales i like more than the novels. I leave you a part of the book (speak about sex moment 1313) but whit a special vocabulary:

But also i like latin american writters, like; Garcia Marquez, Borges, Ruben Dario, Rulfo, Carpentier.... my family have a collection book of their best tales, are interesting and entertaining writters to read (overall their tales)... 
well, thats all friends!

take the road and go!

Since i was kid, i had an ambition. Go to travel far far away for a long time. Its my dream trip for the world, just for know more and satisfy my curiosity. I think that my ambition is the only way for calm my soul and my conscience. When im in trip, everything is new, and im in a wake up condition, im alert, and any problem is an anecdote. I like that sensation. The only thing that i will need is a backpack and good shoes, no more. Although obviously, i think i will need money, but just for a  few time, the rest of the money will get working (I do not mind the work, only that is honest and who has not ever made​​). My best tool would be improvisation.
I have thought many times, but even do i have a question. The problem is that these questions do not meet my true ambitions. I think that some day, when nothing holds me back here i will do (though i hope not to have the old age of UP).
An example of that: One time, when i was tripping (backpacking) , i met a young man who had been traveling since age 16 (he was 24 when i met). At that time he was working as garzon in a restaurant beside the road. His parents had died, and his dream was to travel. He was making. He knew all of Chile.

Popular and comfortable

Well, with this post i begin a new semester of english (my last in the university).

About beaches, there are some that i like, are all differents, and each one is special to me. If i call beach to a land or area bordering the sea, in that case i choose "El Canelo". This beach is located in the V region, next to "El Quisco" and to 2 hours of distance of Santiago. Its as very popular beach, and some weekends in the summer is packed with people. For this reason is that i visit in low sesion, like at the end of february or during the year. This beach have white sand and calipse waters!, its like an mini Cancun (believe me)xD. Since i have memory i visited this place accompanied by my family.
The last time i was there, was for my 23 birthday (im 24 now). My intention in that time was await the down. So, that day i woke up at 5 am and went to the beach to find the sun. It was a big down. After that, i returned to the cottage where i was staying with my girlfriend.
For me that beach, is a place for get one's strength back (its my place for to have a really good rest).
It is a small village and very quiet for the rest.

greetings!

there are a pícture of the down...

and other in his climax! XD
