Valparaíso

 

I like Valparaíso, an hour and half from Santiago, V Region, cos' is a magical place, the hills, the sea and the elevators makes him completely original.

I love his streets and old buildings, remembers of an english legacy, with the port and the navy culture in the city. I think I really enjoy Valparaíso - a mix of Valle & Paraíso (Valley and Paradise)-, because I'm a history lover and all the little details about the people, the stores, the fair with amazings antique, the old restaurantes, the musicians in every corner, makes me feel participant in a pretty story.

My favourites hill are Cerro Alegre and Concepción, the first one because had a wonderful houses and buildings adapted to the geography and the last one, Concepcion's Hill had a pretty coffees and seafronts with a view to all the ships and cruises at the port.

The first time I was to there was in the year 2005, but I'm not pretty sure... I went with my mom and my sister a weekend and we stayed in a residential of a germany woman at Plaza Sotomayor. That time we visited all the important hills of the city walking from de beggining to the top: Such a hard crossing!! But was the funniest quick-travel in my life! Since there I looooove Valpo. and the last time I visited was 2009, I guess.. in New Years Eve.

 

 

Hi everyone!
I like this photo cause' is really fun my face and the face of my friend Gabriel. Diego, the guy at my right wasnt in the took properly D:
Another friend took the picture, but I dont remember who, I think was Valeria or Suelí, anyway... two of my best friends from my school: Liceo N°1 Javiera Carrera.
That was a amazing night, one of my best friends, Alejandra, arrived from Germany after one year living there, in Dortmund for an exchange. Was a surprise party and was such a success, with tears, memories and a lot of gifts to all her family and friends... That night she gives me a bag with a militar man and the Berlin Wall, a CD of Arctic Monkeys and a little Eiffel Tower from Paris when she went to Paris at holidays and her friends we make it this big party to her...

Well, was a excellent memory, from 3 years ago when I even didnt know what I would like study then!

I hope your comments!

Hi Everyone!
I will write today about a free topic and was really hard choose, but I'll do about my favourite band, Arctic Monkeys, a british band boys with an amazing sound...
But I dont wanna write about the typical information and the name of his integrants... I like Arctic Monkeys because them drumms and guitars, them bass and the voice of the vocalist; Alex Turner, a guy some weirdo that he hasn't a standar voice or look but write a wonderful lyrics about regular moments, love stories and broken hearts.
I know them when I was fourteen, that silly age when you don't know what you are or what you gonna be and the crush with them was inmediate. Them were not famous here, and I have to wait severals years for to come to Chile, and that happened this year, in the international fest 'Lollapalooza'.
I hated the festival, and his spirit very 'ecological and cool', the ticket to see them I costed $40.000 and I think it was a theft, but it was the only chance to can see the show and Im glad.
I love the mix of sounds they have, rockers and darks with lovely songs of love and songs it feels like they was 5 in one. But I wont write more, because I will like told you more about they in another post :)

I just left you a video with one of the most famous songs, I hope you enjoy it!!!

JOURNEY

***

Maybe this will be bored, but my journey was this summer and is almost the same, I took the destination of the travel of Simon 15 years after!!
The important about this journey to me is beacuse I was alone. Well not REALLY alone, I started with some friends, a partner class and a Spanish friend. We arrived in Villarrica and there we met us with anotther partner class and her boyfriend. We visited Lican Ray, Pucón & Caburga. After that I left them and I met with another friends and we went to Valdivia and Niebla just in one day, making all the things that we could. That night I had to sleep with another two men in a two person's tent!
In the morning I left them and I had to walk alone with my bag and sleeping bag one hour just to arrived to the Station Bus! There I took a ticket to Frutillar, and I met with some school's friends and spent 3 days in a beautiful place. The funnier moment in this part of my journey was we walked 2 hours to see a Rancheras band that we even liked!! But it was a great time dance with the local people.
After that I said goodbye to my friends and I went to saw to my family that will be in Los Angeles, the only thing I wanted was lunch and dinner good, I had not more money to spent! Only the money I had keep to go from Frutillar to Los Angeles.
Well, finally I met my family there and we went to Antuco and Laguna Laja, such a wonderful place because the lake had a emerald colour! That was the best day in my journey.

Write about a country you would like to visit.

Say:
Which country you would like to visit and why,
What you would like to do there,

Why you thing this would be an interesting place to visit.


Hi everyone! Im late about this post but I hope you comment me anyway....
I love travel and I would like go for so many countries that is difficult to me think just in one...
I would with a bag and a sleeping bag in a journey to whole Europe and Latinoamerica, because I believe these places are the most interesting destinations, and why? The culture, food, people and languages are so differents each other that make that comparison must be fascinating.

But ok, I have to choose one and TODAY (because I'm not sure I choose these alternative tomorrow haha) is Finland and go to see the effect known as Aurora Borealis, cos' I think is one of the moost beautiful shows in the Earth...
Well, this 'natural' performance can be seen in another countries too, just should be close of de Artic Pole, places located in the North, but I'd like to go to Finland cos' I guess is a country very different to Chile, with a language totally different and people with different physiognomy, Im very curious girl and I like to watch the people and her behavior.
I just need warm clothes, some friend I want to come with me, some money haha and travel since October to March and enjoy the magnificents colours of Sun at night!!

Hi everyone, the post of today is about a topic I really like it cos' I looooove read, and I think if I dont have to read so much to study I read a 3 or 4 books in a month.
I have a lot of favourites books, like The catcher in the rye by Salinger, Martin Rivas by Blest-Gana or Demian by Herman Hesse, but the last book I like it was 'Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions, and General Tales of Ordinary Madness' by Charles Bukowski a really interesting man, who born in Germany but live in Los Angeles/Hollywood several years.
He was alcoholic and works like butcher, postman, columnist and poet, married twice and died in 1994 of leukemia.
The book I took from Bibliometro and I believe that I read it in one day, they are short tales about the decadence of life, stories about crooks, crimes, alcohol, sex and prostitution... Hard topics indeed, altought the way he told them, ironic and dark makes them easier to me.
The only problem about Bukowski is: If you read one book, you read all his work. Well, something like that.. Because never changes the topic, always are the same codes to understand him. And I said it because I had read more than two books...

Well, is a book that I recommend to all of you!
See you later alligator!

This is my first blog and I choose the title of a song write by my favourite band, like a proyection about the things I will have to told by here.
I think is a very fun way to learn and practise and I really excited about the final results of this work.
