The cinema..

Hi! The topic today is the cinema...  I really like and enjoy very much to go and see a good movie. I actually don’t go more often to the cinema, but I would love to go every week to saw a nice film. The last time I went was three weeks ago. I went to saw Inception, I really recommend this film, I think that is a movie with a good argument, talks about the dreams and how to access to them to change person’s ideas. If you can, go to the cinema to see it! Or maybe you can rent it, if you ask me...  I think is a movie to see in a cinema room. I prefer to go to the cinema, I don’t like very much to rent movies, I think that I enjoy better in a cinema room.
Another movie that I enjoy a lot was “The Big Fish”. This movie tells the history of a man that tells stories that were supposed be moments of his life, the distinctive of the stories is that he adding them fantastic characteristic, strange characters and places were always presents on them. His only son, sceptical that these stories actually happened gets very angry with him because he was tired that his father was always laying about his life. Until he found out that his father actually lived many of the situations that he told, just with the particularity that they were remember through the language of his father amazing creativity.
I think that I like this movie because it makes me think that our life is just how we are telling ours stories to ourselves, the moments that we actually lived are just the representations of the memories that are full of emotion and affectivity looked by the eyes of ourselves. If you haven’t seen it I truly recommend it!!

Where to go in Santiago

Hi everyone! To start the post, I have to tell you is that I didn’t born in Santiago, actually this is my third year living in the city, I move here because of the University, I have the opportunity to emigrate from my home town and access more possibilities of education.
Since I´m living here I have visit many interesting places, so I think that with my little experience I can tell to the people who is visiting the city for the first time some places they must visit. One of them is the Santa Lucias´s hill, the importance of this hill is that was the place where Santiago was founding, also has the particularity of been an island hill, that means that is separated from the mountain range and is situated in the middle of the city, so from it you can see all the city. The second place that I thing that you can´t forget to visit is “La Moneda”, this is the government house where the president works, this national monument was bombarded in the beginning of the dictatorship in 1973. Also I think that a tourist must to go to is the Bellas Artes Museum, in here are reunited all the works of art of the country since the colony to our days, this place is situated inside the Forestal Park, that is a park where is the neuralgic point of the cultural life in Santiago, so this is another interesting place to see, maybe a tourist would enjoy a long walk in this area and after a nice coffee or ice cream in the rounded bars. Finally you can´t miss to visit the Central Market where are all the sea food that you can think, is a very typical place in Santiago and has a lot of history and is a place full of local color.

Music!

I think to hear music is very important to health, because it stimulates our sense and body; in one way I think that it keeps you alive and you are happier when you hear it. I like very much to hear music in many kinds, I like a lot the music, but I think that the different kinds of music produce many different feelings, for example, for me is not the same to hear Metal that to hear Jazz, I prefer to hear music more calm and peacefully, music that you may relax hearing it, or music, that you may having a fluid conversation while you are listen it and do not disturb very much, I also like music to dance!
I would like to have the ability to play any instrument; many of my friends do and play very well instruments that require a lot of practice... but me? I´m really not good at, I think that I have to conform to enjoy hearing them to play and to hear music in general.
I think music is very important because is an expression of something that could last many time, that is why today we can delimitated every decade with a particular style of music, or distinguish the different cultures, they are also characterise by the music they made and produce, also by the music we can symbolize a country... I really thing that music is very important to us, without it life will be very boring!

I would love to visit ...

Well I think that is difficult to say just one country that I would like to visit, because there are many places in the word that I would like to go, but I think that one of the countries that I would like to visit the most is Spain.


This country, from my point of view is very interesting, the first thing that I like a lot of the people form there is the way that they speak the Spanish, so different to us! I don´t really know why but it seem to me that they have a beautiful accent and it also capture my attention the way that they use the same word to refer very different things, but the language it´s just a superficial thing. I also like Spain because of their culture, the way that people live, the open mind that characterise many people in Europe, all the culture that they have around them, years of history that today we can see in many constructions and monuments, expressions of sensitive minds that many artist that were living there...

I would like to travel around Europe, but to have my place in Madrid, I would like to study there after to finish the University, so I think that very soon this could be possible!
