If you had already came...


If I met a foreign tourist, I'd invite him to know a few places in Santiago that I know and that I like. I don't like the typical places or the most famous very much, but I think you can't say that you have visited Santiago without visiting the center. Knowing its pollution, its people in a rush and its "completos" in the streets let you have an approach to a certain type of life, typical of the big cities.
I'd invite him to know east side of Santiago, putting emphasis on Lo Barnechea, a very assorted income family municipality, where you have the richest people in Chile right next to the poorest ones. There's also a place going up to the Andes with beautiful landscape and with great trees.
I'd go with him to the "Barrio Yungay" and trough the Matucana street visiting all the cultural places in there "Matucana 100", "Museo de la memoria", "La Quinta Normal", la "Biblioteca de Santiago", etc. There's a popular place that have a interesting history, let you know the old Santiago.
Well, then we would go to know the “metro” and the famous “transantiago”. Those have been very characteristic of Santiago in the last time.
To finish we would go to have some parties in Santiago's Night, but only if he pays because of the prices, the drinks and the tickets are very expensive! Well, if we were where we usually party, we wouldn’t pay too much, but I’m sure that he would be a serious tourist and he wouldn’t want to go there.
It's difficult to imagine another interesting place in Santiago!

Bonjour a tout le monde




I’d like to visit France. Well, a near reason is that my mother is living in there at this moment; she went there a few months ago and would be nice if I see her.
But the bigger reasons go beyond this. Almost all my family lived there, my sister was born there, but I’ve never put a foot on there. I had born here in Chile. I have uncles, cousins, friends and my grandmother living there. I’ve always wanted to go and know France, I heard a lot of it. If I have to choose, in this moment I’d like to go to France.
But if it was for studies I wouldn’t have any problem going any country, I thought that if I went to a place I would learn a lot. Every country has something to show and something to discover.
What I’ve heard about France is that is a very mixed country, you have very different cultures living in the same city, different ways of live that is difficult to find.
Well, if I went to France I’d visits all my family and friends there, I’d walk along the streets, go to pubs and look for a job. Having a good time and sick it with what I study will be great

first term finished


Well, my first term was very good, terrible faster. Was my first semester in university, I’d pass all my courses and I’d start to know more about sociology. I’d realized that I knew almost nothing about it, but now I’m handling with it.
A bad thing that happened was that I stopped to do sports. I usually played basketball, but when I get into the university rhythm I couldn’t keep with it. I’m fatter, but I don’t care very much.
About friends I’ve to recognize that was a estrange semester, I stopped seeing some friends because of the times, but I knew a lot of new people who studied with me and from others parts. A lot of changes occurred during the last months, included in my family, where my mother went to France for a work in May and stills there. There she has a good and establish job and she’s living with his brother who hadn’t see in a long time. My sister in her side finished his Art degree and started to work in the Catholic University has a teacher’s assistant and in a project of art intervention in the Villa Portales.
We can say that was a pretty moved term in all the ways but the sportive one.
