The best place I've ever been to

The best place in that I´ve been is part of the Chile´s small North, specifically the Caldera Harbor. This town is located in the Region Third. This trip I did just two weeks ago, and is the best field trip that I has ever.

I went with five colleagues more: Pia, Rocío, Fernanda, Rodrigo, Guillermo and me. We participated of a FONDECYT project: “Scenarios new of environment fragility associate to risk incrementing and degradation in intermediates cities of Chile”, investigation that the Geography teacher Carmen Paz Castro supervise, and Rocío with Rodrigo are working for their career thesis. We were to poll the Caldera’s people about their perception into the natural risk, like earthquakes, tsunami, flood, principally.

This trip had duration of four days and five nights, because only the transfer by bus took twelve hours from Santiago to Region Third and come back too.

We knew many landscapes very very beautiful: English Bay; beach La Virgen; beach Agata; the nature´s sanctuary orbicular granite; the wetland in the mouth of Copiapó river; part of deserted; and many cultural attractions like the Caldera´s Paleontologic Museum; the Rail Museum; the square central; between the that I remember best.

Also, we ate a lot of sea food and fish, and in the personal field, we knew us a lot, we tell us any secrets, loves and pain, that each has lived.

Really I wanted to know many places more, like Copiapó, the desert inside; and many more, but I must to wait to when I have money for spend it in to know my whole country. 

Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon

Students protest with creativity

   Hello classmates, in this post I’m going to talk about the student movement present that it’s happening to national level. But I don’t speak about the puntual problematic, topic that all of us as students we know very well. So I’ll talk specifically about something that has been very salvageable in this period, which are the ways creative that students have used for to communicate the demands and petitions into the rest of chilean society, with the object of to capture by a peculiar form the attention of the people, and thus to denounce the present crisis  that the educational system have. These creative and peaceful protests are a lot, called “urban interventions” by sociologists, for example the Flash Mobe; sketches; mass suicides; parades with costumes, floats and giants puppets; frozens; kisses; videos clips and covers of many songs with changed lyrics; etc.

   Each of this mass manifestations are planned and made by group small of students in a first time, but trough of the social website they are spread until the point of be massive and this way they can to collect a remarkable number of people in a time and place determined.  The audio visual manifestations have another way to get, that are the “collective”, which are groups more small composed for students that know very well the techniques of art audio visual, like cinema and TV students, of music, of  theater, of dance, etc. One remarkable group of many these to level of University is the “Funa Collective”, which belong of our faculty (FAU), and it has made a videos very emotional for show the reality of this inequality that exist, works that have been very well criticized for the nationals mass media.

  My favourite urban interventions are the Flash Mobe, specially “Thriller por la Educación” (24/06), as the big hit of Michael Jackson, y “Axe pela Educaçao” (22/07), a mix of many songs of Axe Bahía and Porto Seguro, and whose videos are in the website Youtube.

   Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon.

Second Free post: The Chocolate.

   Hello classmates, in this new free post, I’m going to talk about my culprit pleasure: The Chocolate. It is my favourite candy. This delight is very pleasant because the cacao contains Triptófano and Anandamida, a neurotransmitters that they causes in the brain a sensation of happiness.

   This delight has many benefits, it’s not very harmful for the health like was thought before. It helps to the heart because it contains components called flavonoides that they impede the obstruction of arteries, and so they help to avoid infarcts and spills. Also the chocolate helps to remove the depression, because it rises the sensation of pleasure, and it augments the libido in women. The chocolate have a lot of antioxidants, like the ponifenoles, that they prevent the aterosclerosis and the appearance of some cáncer types. The cacao is abundant in minerals, like potassium, phosphorus and magnesium, and this last is the culprit of the female addiction to this candy.

   This food is obtained by mix sugar with pasta of cacao (stuff solid) and butter of caco (stuff greasy). From this basic mix are made the differents types of chocolates, that they depend of proportion between this elements and of their mix or not with other products like the milk and dry fruits.

   Its origin went in the America pre-Columbian, for the Maya civilization, that according to their leyend, the cacao was given for the god Kukulkán, when he finished to creates the humanity. They  cultivated cacao 2500 years ago for make a drink, and it was used like medicine for some discomforts. The Aztecs used the seeds of cacao as money of change. This towns prepared a pasta with chili for to eat solid chocolate. Later, the chocolate arrived to Europe by the conquest to the Aztecs in century 16, in where it was mixed with milk, sugar and vanilla for transform it in the candy that today it’s known.

Free post: The Music for me.

   Hello classmates, in this free post I wish to talk about the music, specifically to its power, its effect on the humans, and on me. I think that everybody needs hear music for to live, without import the music kind that everyone likes. This idea not only is mine, because now there are some scientific investigations that confirm this fact.

   A movie that I like it, and that it shows the effect of music in ours lifes, is “August Rush”, which is about how the music can join to a family that they were not known, but only with the love sound, they could get.

   Personally, the music for me is like the water, it’s mean that I can live without it, but I don’t be fine. I feel that something is missing me, I’m living not the right way. This is because the music relaxes me and excite me, it makes me smile, it makes me cry. And I feel that some lyrics were made for me.    

   Although I don’t know play a musical instrument now, I wish a lot to learn some day, and I love hear to people that plays piano, violin, and other symphonic instruments. In general, all instrument played in the right way is beautiful for the ears of any person, and like the movie says, that I mentioned above: “The music is in all places, only we must know how listen it”, we can hear the music of the nature, as the wind sound, of a sea wave, of a lake, in a cornfield dancing, in the birds songs, between other.

Hello classmates, now I'll talking about the my favorite holidays: Quintero.  This holidays want when I was a child, althroug I don´t remember well the year old that I has in the point. I went to Quintero, at the fifth region of Valparaíso.

in this summer I want with my parents and grandparents.

Latin Americans Stereotypes

   Hello classmates, now I'll talking about the  Latin Americans Stereotypes. An stereotype is a imaginary of a collectivity, that it is based in a characteristic bad generally. I think that for the case of Latin American, exist more stereotypes bad that good, although just I know a few, as for exemple: The chileans are thieves, the peruvians are dirty but they speak right, the colombians are narcos, the brazilians are always happy and horny, the argentinians are arrogant and exaggerated, the venezuelans are pretty.

   I think, that these stereotypes exist because the people unconsciously we classify to other persons, for like this, we can remember them. Specially to Latin American, the most developed countries see us of form negative because we are less advanced than they. But also between us, we see us with grudge, because we are part of a history in common, that maybe it’s the culprit of old quarrels.

   I have never traveled to other countries for I can know exactly how they view us. But of long ago, is knew that Chile have a very bad stereotype, for example, the Europeans view us as thieves. Specially for the relations that now Chile have with some neighbors countries, I think they see us like a haughty, because many they come here to find a best future.

   I think that the stereotypes of different groups of Chileans that exist, are given by their place of proceed, for example, if anybody come from the country, always there is somebody who sees him as fool and coarse. Also exist stereotypes given by the clothes style and the group of friends that anybody have, for example the urbans tribes.   

   Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon.

Cartagena: My favourite bay.

   Hello classmates, now I’ll talk about my favourite beach: Cartagena. This beach is localized in the cove of same name, and it is part of many bays of central litoral of Chile, and for terms political and administrators, it pertain to the Comuna of Cartagena, of the Province of San Antonio, which integrate the fifth region of Valparaíso.
   I don’t go often to this place, but in general, it is the that I have visited with more frecuency since I was kid, in fact, it is the holidays destination that more I remember. However, I go every summer to this bay, which is equivalent to one time for year. And exactly the last time that I visited it, went this summer, in the week second of january.

   When my family and me we arrived there, we stayed in the house of one uncle, dad’s brother. To us we like go in the morning to harbor of San Antonio for to buy fresh fish for the lunch. Later, in the afternoon we down to the beach for sit or sleep over the sand, bathe or at least wash a little the feet in the water. Also we like go to know the other nearby beaches.  

   I love this beach, because it is the nearest to the Santiago city, and for this reason, it is the most economic for to visit. Also I like all the history and cultura that this place have, for exemple, the fact that it pertain to the coastal zone called “The  litoral of poets”, becuase it is the city of Vicente Huidobro.

   Well, that’s all folks, I see you soon.
