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

my blogging experience
Well, it's the first time I have a blog. And I must say that I like to write, tell stories and talk about experiences ... is an activity that has always attracted me but never carried out often .... and less in English! xD because it really makes me a little difficult.
I think personal experiences to write in another language greatly simplifies what you mean. One fails to fully express the intent of the ideas if you do it in another language, especially English.
I enjoyed the experience has helped me to improve my English, and above all to learn many new words. Writing is an essential part of learning a new language, and English is something that almost never practiced.
I think that writing in English has made me improve a lot of my vocabulary. I had to improve, although obligatorily! haha ... I had to strain to find new conjugates verbs and adjectives to write new blog. Another advantage is that I have met colleagues from other disciplines (such as design and architecture) through the postings and the stories they tell in their blogs. They are no longer a stranger more in college, because they now have a sense and recognize (especially in pirka)
One disadvantage may be that we have little time to complete written during the class. If we had more time we could write even better with more details. And we could also write and comment on other interesting aspects of blogging peers. Another disadvantage associated with this, is that I am very slow translating what I really mean in English, but I think it is something that can be fixed with practice.
I wish the tracks to write in English were a free choice. You choose the topic you want to write during the week. Or maybe, instead of having a blog, we could have a facebook, jajaja ... yeaaah! facebookmania !!!..... and we could talk among the students of the course ... XD posting, labeling pictures, comments, upload videos, etc! haha I'm sure we would all be more connected! :P
Well, it has been said to enjoy! Greetings!

Arrrround the wooooorrrrrlddddd!!!
My ideal vacation would be a trip around the world for a year.This trip I would like to do with my family. And we would go to all of our favorite places we have dreamed.
For example, my sister and my mother would love to know India, they ever dream of bathing in the Ganges River. I think it is not a good idea, every time i see it, it looks a bit unhealthy river xD... To me, personally, i would like to know the Shangri-La route for example; Indonesia, Thailandia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and would end in Nepal (go to the mountains and go to the last of its valleys and rivers).
Asia is my dream to learn, to soak woth their culture so different from ours. After all thats parades, we would know the Polinesia, that would be the preffered destination of my brother, a tropical climate, beautiful women and beutiful beaches.
I once saw a documentary about guys who toured Asia in a sailboat. If i had the boat, i would do the same...

mom_itis
Aaam :P ... this is the only photo i have on hand in this moment from my childhood.
This photo was taken by an aunt in her house. I like it because I think it's sweet, I have about 4 years, and i am with my mom. I've always been very attached to her, can be seen in that picture (mamitis jaja) xD
While not a shameful child, then apparently I did not want photographed. It was taken after a birthday. I still remember my red shoes, I felt the best with them.
I have good memories of that time. I kept playiung in my yard all day. Collecting worms and ants, playing with the dog. I loved that place.
