What's my life in these days?

My Academic life, in these days, has been complicated and interesting at the same time, because this is the last half of my studies, and I have been learning a lot of things important. I love this matters, for example, I love studying topics as urban planning and environmental analysis. But, this situation has been very complicated, because our faculty was in strike for five months, and We have forgotten the importance of changing the actual educational system!
My personal Life seems to go very well, because I am very happy with the family that I Have and My Boyfriend. But, in these days, I have had a big preoccupation: my beloved pet “Becky” , a poodle dog, has been very ill. And this situation is saddest, because Becky has shared with my family and me, since I was a child. Indeed, in my free times I always play with Becky(my dog). Other things that I do in my free time (that now is very little) is play the guitar and sing different songs. I LOVE SINGING AND PLAYING THE GUITARR! Indeed I love the music in generally. Between my perspectives is to have a music band!
But the perspective most important for the last year has relation with my studies. In December of the next year, I will be receiving my academic qualification. But this isn’t the most important, the most important is to be happy with this!

My Neighbourhood

I have lived almost all my life in this neighbourhood, called Parque Alameda. This place is located on the corner of Las Rejas street and Ecuador street. In this intersection there are several shops and facilities,for example , on the corner of Las Rejas street and Ecuador street, there is a Big Supermarket “Lider”. This supermarket is opposite to the several Pharmacies and Banks. Also There are several Medical centers such as “Hospital del Profesor” and “Clínica Bicentenario”.
Other advantage: There are many opcions of Pubic Transport! My house is near to the Station Subway. I have never been in a Traffic Jam! Because there are enough traffic lights.
However I’d like to have more bikelanes. This is a Big Problem, because many people go to work cycling. Also is an option for descontaminate Santiago. My Neighbourdhood has a lot of pollution, because is near to Alameda, also in some places is so dirty because the trash!
I love living in my neighbourdhood, because this place is very quiet and safety, because here lives a lot of seniors! And I enjoy walking for the streets and in this place I have known many people important in my life.

Strikes and Sit- in for a public education

In these moments almost all the “Universidad de Chile” is in Strike or Sit-in. Two days later, I went to the Demonstration for the education of character “National Strike” , to this Demonstration , more than hundred thousand persons were present, only in Santiago, because to national level, they represented more than two hundred thousand persons.
This protest, had things very assessable, because there had students, teachers, families and workers, all for a public education.
The Architecture Faculty always is present by is students. We always appear with creative Banners, in this opportunity, we had a Dragoon and the big cartoons of the prominent figures who have sold the education such as: Piñera, Lavín, Frei and Pinochet. All that together with a carnival, called “candombe”.
I think that the mass media, show the worst face of the marches, and the one that less represents us, in the news appear hooded person destroying and forcing, but they never show really the cultural activities and pacific demonstrations or very rarely.
The manifestations are a part of the civic culture that we have to have, The duty to demonstrate what does not seem to us and to construct a better world, but I understand that many persons don’t assist because they are afraid to the special forces.
The special forces are very repressive, the people are afraid to the Armoured Car, Rubber Bullets ( indeed in my faculty the last year, the special forces threw Rubber Bullets to the students and various of some of them were injured, also they damage the faculty)
However, I think that is the moment of fight for obtain changes in our educational system.

The educational system

The Education is a fundamental right, and the history demonstrates this. In the last century many places of the world led these revolts that up to nowadays are made feel.
Some cases as Mexico, Paris, Praga, Pekín, and San Francisco, between another more, that despite of that this places are very far of the other one, the movements presented similar features. The reasons? Paul Lizcano, expert of the student revolts against Franc, believes that " in all these revolutions there are a few points jointly: the idealism and the inconformity of a university in which they have penetrated the ideas of the Marxism or of the liberalism, which is opposed to the gags of the system and which demands the revolution "
Evidently the movements of today are not the same thing, but the education continues having the same problems indeed In Chile, the education is synonymous of debt and this, because the Government doesn’t assure the education as a right and for this only they can study in the university those who can pay with some exceptions, Actually the problem is product of the educational system

, that is still bosses of the global economy.
This produces that the dissatisfaction of the students persists, because this big problem has not been solved in more of 40 years!
The education is a fundamental right that is necessary to defend!
In this moment the “Universidad de Chile” is PARALYZED and is necessary that all the students contribute their ideas and visions!

My favourites musical instruments

Hello my friends! Today I’m going to talk about musicals instruments
In the world there are a lot of musical instruments, because the culture it’s different and the music also. An instrument that I like is the guitar, this is a instrument of strinds, the most typical in the world, and also it is very easy to learn.
But I prefer the instruments of percussion, because the percussion has sounds more exotic , as the “Conga” typic instrument of Cuba, and their sounds depend of the techniques for play to this instrument. Indeed the “Congas”, it plays only with the hands and its surface is makes with animal skin.
Another instrument that I like its the metal soucer, some musical groups don’t play only in the battery, also they play the metal soucer with their hands, as the “Banda Conmoción”, here two woman play the metal soucer while they dance, this it makes in a “Carnaval” with the other instruments all of metal as “bombo”, “timbaletas” and instruments of wind, as the trumpet, sax and anothers.
Actually, I like more musical instruments, but only I know play the guitar and the bongo, although not perfectly.
I would like to learn to have the battery and to perfect me in guitar, indeed I want have a musical group and in this group I can play various instruments.
I say goodbye of you and hope that they comment on his musical favorite instruments or which they would like to learn to play !
Bye Bye!

The best holiday

Hello to all!
I love the holiday, really the vacations are the better of the year. My favorites holidays have been various, but in the last years I’ve been a lot of beautiful places in Chile. In Enero of this year, I went with my boyfriend to the Chiloé Island, in the tenth region of “Los Lagos”, here we knew first “Castro” and we visited in a boat the “Palafitos” and in the night It was raining a lot! The Following day we went to Dalcahue and I ate for first time “Curanto” I love it! And my Boyfriend ate “Cordero”, also very delicious! Some days later, we went to “Cucao”, that is my favorite place, because Cucao is part of the National Park of Chiloé and the vegetation is very exotic, called Moderate rainy forest, with species of trees as “Arrayán”, “Tepa”, “Coigue”, “Ulmo”. But this place also I liked because is very romantic, I remember with my boyfriend that this night in Cucao, We did a bonfire and contemplated the stars reflected in the lake cucao it was really precious!
Later we knew another wonderful place that is called the islands of Puñuhil in Ancud, and we looked the penguins “magallánicos” and penguins of “Humboldt” and this day in Ancud also It was raining a lot and We walked five kilometers under the rain, however this vacations has been the best, specially for the company, the beautiful places and the adventures

Some stereotypes in Latin American

In Latin American are the different stereotypes, although we are many near, our personalities are very particular. A first stereotype that I can to identify is the Argentine arrogant and snnoby, but I must say that is only a impression on. The Argentines have a accent very particular, but the Argentines boys are very handsome.
To distinguish of the Argentines, The Brazilians are very happy and have a nice body, because they practice sport every day and they take a healthy life. They are good dancers of the zamba, because every years they dance in the Carnaval.
Other stereotype is their Mexicans, they have a very loud voice, and they sing sentimental songs , the mexican is recognized as a person with a strong character and this shown in the “Rancheras” that is very sentimental but very louds.
The Peruvians speak clearly and they’ve a good language, but They’re very tepid and talk quietly. The Bolivians are very similar to the Peruvians, but they don’t cook as the Peruvians that cook very delicious!
Exist various stereotypes more, indeed these are defined in my vision.
I think that this stereotypes are defined for differents grounds, such as the movies and the news that shows to different people of the different countries of one way or another. This don’t always true.
Is difficult to define a Chilean stereotype, because I’m Chilean. I think that we are very impunctual, because always we have all out time! Also, we are very impatient, always we’re borings of wait and we’re losting a patience, for this also, is that we are bad drivers. However, I believe that we are a good persons.
