Santiago I lived in Buenos Aires until my elevens.Then I come to Santiago and the first glance it looks really quiet compared to Buenos Aires. With the years Santiago has changed, grew up and today is a big cosmopolitan city. Nevertheless has many fields to improve yet. For example on fall winter there's a lot of pollution, both air and acoustic. I'm surprisedon the size of the population in Santiago today, and how plenty of people spend there weekend on mall. These are issues well compesated by the enormous advantaje that the city offers. People is very polite and respectfull, a wide range os services work well, and finally, as I said before, every day there is more places for the culture and people. If I know a visitor I'll give him the following tips:san cristobal's hill to enjoy the nature,bellavista to go clubing and try taste local food. Also, he or she must know thesantiago downtown like bellas artes, lastarria, barrio yungay.

This is an interesting and polemic case. The creator of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, is a person who wants to show the truth about events that are very important in political context, specifically in violation of human rights that happens in governments of different countries. An example of that is the government of USA. In fact, Wikileaks published an official video that showed the U.S military killing eleven Iraqis. Everyone knows leaking secret documents is illegal, but the contents of these documents were illegal too, and I think this is terrible. I consider Julian Assange is guilty because he leaks tops secrets; however, I believe he has the tools to make justice in our world fighting against the power of politicians.    

To be honest, I’m not sure if it’s ok about the political asylum in Ecuador. Definitely, the government of Ecuador wants to help and praises the immoral facts of politicians. What if I know is that the political asylum is an essential human right and its parts of the international human rights. Therefore, Ecuador can do that. I think this case is something that comes to us all and I don’t know will end up. If I have the opportunity to make a question to Assange, I’ll ask him: Why do you are interested to publish secret documents and how do you found it?
I think the last time, different government have been investigating the case to accuses Assange guilty and pronounce sentence.   

POST 8: HOLIDAYS

All people who work need holidays in their life. I think is necessary for health because is a special time to feel better and to renovate energies. At this moment, I want winter holydays now!

Whatever I can, I travel to many different places on my holydays. I confess I loved long holydays. The summer is a very good excuse to go travelling with friends and family. I usually went with my family to the beach and we stay in a cabin or houses that my parents rent. We enjoy Chilean’s beaches like Maitencillo and Cachagua; places who have a long beach with a beautiful sea.

I like long journeys. Every holydays I program a trip choosing one country of Latin America to meet. In fact, one of my dreams is to visit all countries of our continent.

I think everyone have the own form to make a trip, in my case, I’m simple because I don’t need to stay in a luxurious hotel, I really prefer to camp in natural places or sleep in hostels.

The last vacation I went with a friend to “Valle del Elqui” and we camped in “Magic River”. We wake up and sleep with the sound of the river. The mountain is a beautiful place to stay and to look up and see the stars. Next holydays, I want to go to the south of Chile with a friend I miss so much. She comes back from Paris and she has a beautiful house in “Cochamó” without electricity near a lake. 

POST 7

Ignacio Martin Baró was an especial expert in social psychologist who studied philosophy, psychologist, literature and theology. He was a Jesuit priest born in Spain.  He was a cultivate person who used their knowledge to make social projects for the people. Although this person was born in Europe, he went to Salvador to fight for the justice of the difficult reality who people were living in this time.

I like him because he was a humble person who believed that society can make many things to change the power of the government owing to circumstances beyond our control.  Martin Baró fought for the human’s rights, equality and social justice in the country of Latin America, El Salvador. He criticized the negative impact of U.S.A in political facts and ideas.

In Salvador he worked as a teacher and academic coordinator at the “Universidad Centroamericana” (UCA) and then, he realized many kinds of jobs; member of different magazines and editorials and professor of many universities. Also, he published books and a long list of cultural and scientific articles. 

POST 6: LITERATURE AND BOOKS
I have read books since I was a child. When I didn't know how to read I usually played different games during the day and when I went to sleep at night my mom read me short stories of fantasy and I loved it. I started to read the books that my mom gave to me. In fact, she loved reading and always motivated me to do it. I think this time of my chilhood was very important because I took the pleasure of reading. For this reason I consider myself as a book worm.
Now, I enjoy reading many types of books. The books I read depend on what I want to read at the moment. Sometimes, I like reading novels and fiction but other times I want to read short stories (for example when I have to read many texts for the university), journalistic books, biographies, etc. Some of my favorites books are "The perfum", "The catcher in the rye", "Shangay baby", "Thousands splendid suns" and many more. So, I like writers of different parts of the world, such as Patrick Süskind, J.D Salinger, George Orwell, Khaled Hosseini but I appreciate Latin american authors, for example, Eduardo Galeano, Mario Benedetti, Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Osvaldo Soriano.
The last book I read were short stories of fantasy. The book is called "Woman who runs whit wolves" and the writer is Clarissa Pinkola Estés. She is an american poet, post-trauma specialist and Jungian psychoanalyst.This books is very interesting beacuse the author makes an analysis on the stories and characters related to the unconscious, archetypes and symbols of aour existence. I really enjoyed this book.

POST 5 A PHOTOGRAPH THAT I LIKE




Definitly one of my hobbies is taking photographies. In fact I said in the third post that my favourite piece of tecnologhy is my digital camera Nikon. I have many albumns of differents trips and nice situations with friends and family. I choose an album and today I'm today I'm going to tell you a photo that I like.
This photo was taken by my boyfriend when we was on a trip in Brasil, in January, 2011. We were camping on an island that had about ten differents beaches. Everyday, we always walked at many beaches and almost the days were sunny. In the morning of day that my boyfriend took the photo, it was hot and sunny. The beach looked clear, the sand was yellow and the sea was transparent and blue. We walked one hour, and suddendly the sun disappeared. This photo shows the black sky full of clouds and a bleak landscape, an unusual sight that we don't usually see from a beach in Brazil. At that moment, I had the feeling I was walking towards the storm like a horror movie. I felt the wind, I heared thunders and I saw beams and peals of thunder in the sky.
I think this photo is special beacuse we usually imagine and island with paradise beaches, but in Brasil there is a tropical climate that sometimes change.  

POST 4: Animals and Pets

My parents hate animals! When I was a child, I wanted a pet but they always said no when I begged them to have a little dog or a cat. When we were living in Argentina, my uncle gave to my brother a guinea pig (called Jaime) wich in spanish is called "cobayo". Guinea pig is an animal like a hamster. But Jaime didn't bit like them, instead he was calm. He lived in my garden's house without cage and he ate vegetables, I remember he prefered carrots and lettuce. Guinea pigs usually live for four years however Jaime lived seven years! It was incredible. Jaime was in particular lovely, he was different. He was the last pet that I have in my life. 

Now, I tell my father if we could have a little cat , but he can't stand cats. He always say me "when you'll  live alone, you'll have a pet". Many friends have nice dogs and sometimes I share and play with them. In fact, I think dogs are a very good company for humans and also for children. 

So, finally, I disagree with people to have any animals as a pet, for example, to have birds or a snake inside a cage. In the same way, the zoo keep away animals from their natural environment and their free way of living.
