Hello everyone, today I am going to talk about what I did in “Fiestas Patrias” or National day. In Chile this day is always celebrated in September 18th every year.

This year (2017) in Chile we have five days to celebrate the “Fiestas Patrias” (September 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th and 19th) in that days you can do diversities activity. Well I didn´t do many activities those “Fiestas Patrias”.

Friday I decide not to do anything and just relaxed and slept, due to I had a stressed last week.

Saturday I cleaned my room in the morning and in the afternoon I watched movie. Beside I also watched One Piece (I haven´t watched for many week).

Sunday I shared with my parents, my brother and my sister, we prepared the traditional “Asado of Fiestas Patrias” and around five o’clock My Parents with my brother went to Paine’ Fondas because my brother wanted to know and to play and different traditional games. And I stayed with my sister in our house taking with friends that they visited us.

Monday We visited my Grandparents had lunch with them, in the afternoon we visited my cousins.

Tuesday I watched movies because I don´t like “Parada Militar”, And in the afternoon I was with my friend.

In this “Fiestas Patrias” I didn´t do a lot but I could relax in those days.

Normal weekend

Hello everybody!! Today I am going to talk about something I did the last weekend.

The last weekend, I didn´t have a lot activities because I was preparing to go back after ten days on strike. When I knew that the faculty didn´t be on strike, I had to read any documents and papers, do any homework and study for two tests.

The last Saturday, I wake up around 9 am and then I went to the market street (It’s near to my house) when I was ok with that, I proposed to read the documents and papers and do my homework for Sunday only to study for the test.

I had four texts, they call “Des espaces autres” (Foucault, M.), “Los primeros humanos en América” (Fernández, A.), “La reforma agraria Chilena” (Bellisario, A.) and “Desafíos de la pequeña agricultura frente a la globalización” (Chiriboga, M.). When I finished with the documents and papers, I began to do my homework. I had to paint one cartography about Hydrogeology in the area of Arica and Iquique and finally I started to do format for a “Lamina” that I would should do for my subject.

The last Sunday, I was just studying Hydrology in the morning and then I studied Rural Geography. In the first studied many process about rivers and sedimentary and the second Studied agro history in Chile.

And that was the last weekend. Regards!!!

A Concert funny

Hi Everyone!! Today, I am going to talk about a Concert.

I remember a good Concert rather than singer, who was Marc Anthony, It was being with my cousins.

Well, I was in a concert of Marc Anthony when he come to “Estadio Nacional” in October 2012. Before to attend to the concert, I knew Marc is a good singer, who have written song how “Valio la pena”, “Te conozco bien”, “Ahora Quien”, “Hasta Ayer”, among others. Besides it was marriage with Jennifer Lopez.

The concert was in Ñuñoa, in “Estadio Nacional”. I can tell us that day was rained, jajaja I remember in all month don´t rain but I just rained that day. I didn´t have a problem with that, however my cousins got upset before to enter for that situation.

I attended with my cousins Johanna and Katherine, They are sister, Katy and I have the same age and Jovi is older than us. They planned to attend the concert and I decided to go with them. I always knew that to go with them it was going to have fun.

I enjoyed that concert, when we arrived to “Estadio Nacional” we hoped for three hours, there were a lot women singing his song and then we entered I have never seen women running and discussing for to be the first in the raw, Inclusive they fell and then they run normally, I just laughed I didn´t believe that situation. We were in “Cancha”, Before Marc it was a Band I can remember its name, but the same women, who running, and now they screamed “Que se vayan” they only want to see a Marc.

When Marc was on the stage, it began to rain and people opened them umbrella and again the same group of women began to scream “I can´t see”. With my cousins we laughed whole concert.

Finally I enjoyed listening to Marc but the best was that group of women.

how to coexist in the street, Santiago (Free Post)

Hello Everybody!! I am going to talk about cars, buses (Transantiago) and people.

I have always considered that in Chile, we don´t coexist in harmony, because actually I don´t know if drivers know the traffic laws, the most of the time seems they don’t know it, for what I think they are very individualist, they doesn't care about anyone.

For example I think that if there are passengers in the bus stop, every bus must stop without to lift the arm; because if the sign told for example 303 (line) stop here, when the bus pass for there the driver have to detain in that place.

I believe when there are a bus, which to take a street or an avenue; the cars should have to let it to go before them. Due to in the bus could go eighty people, who need to arrive to their destiny, in contrast in the car, there are one person, sometimes.

And finally, when you want to walk or we need to cross any street or avenue, we have to worry for cars and buses, which don´t respect to anyone. They believe being owners of the streets or roads. They mustn´t pass in red light or crosswalk without to slow down its velocity.

In Chile there aren´t respect for other people, in any sense. Every person live their life without respect to anybody, is notorious especially about the little respect to each others in the streets.

My ability in the artistic

Hello Everyone I am going to talk about “the artistic things that I like to do”

I don´t believe to be an artistic person, despite I like this area, I do not consider to have the best ability for literature, art or music.

The artistic things that I do, In literature I write a little in my free time but I read any things, with respect to art I just draw and paint when it’s extremely necessary, I am really bad :C.

In the music I get to have more ability, I can play instruments, which are Guitar, Mandolin and Violin.

I remember when I was eight years old I could play my first guitar and when I was growing up, I learnt to play the other Instruments. In 2013 I could already play mandolin and I recently bought my Violin, I am learning because I don´t have so much time.

I don´t play any kind of music, I just play any song that I like or I listen in my computer or radio.

When I have any time or I have less responsibility I enjoy playing enough my instruments because I get relaxed and I also have a good moment.

Regards!!

Game over

Cultural Geography

Hello Everyone!!

Today, I am going to talk about my favorite subject in Geography.

This subject that I like, is Cultural Geography; because I have gotten to learn a lot about different items or topic related with society, community and individual.

The topics that I saw and learnt in class were:

- What is Cultural Geography
- Diffusion and structure of culture
- Huxley’s Model
- Heritage: Definition and application in the city
- Perception, Identity, Subjectivity, alterity, gentrification and Imaginaries applied in the society through Mental Maps and Participative Cartography
- Local Culture v/s Global Culture
- Landscapes as Urban as Rural, and territory
- Development Touristic and cultural Touristic

I have to apply those topics in an investigation in Valparaiso, that city was named Heritage of humanity in 2003, my investigation is especially based in two areas (Cerro Placeres y Larraín).

I investigate, how does the new buildings affect the local identity and community in cerro Larraín and Placeres?

Why do I like this Subject? I like Cultural Geography, because I enjoyed to learn new things, besides I can see a wonderful city like Valparaiso.

Cerro Larraín, Valparaíso
