Lican Ray here we go!



My best holiday was at Lican Ray this year, a lake that lie at the Araucania region. I went with five friends and my partner. We stayed in a hut fully equipped for 8 days long that was close to the lake, so in the day we had lunch, seen “Oro verde” and then we rented a little boat and we gone to center of the lake where we swum, or arrived at an isthmus to rest. Through the night we gone to the principal plaza to buy somethings like food or something to drink, ah! And too fillings “churros” (it was so good), then in the house we cooked some tasty food and then we played “UNO” and drink something or gone to the lake. I enjoyed this so much because were the first hollidays without family, just friends and with my partner. We could do anythink we wanted at the time we wanted, also I love to swim and the lake was wondefull, crystal water, few people, a beautiful place, my friends funny, good food, good drink (although one night we tried to make a drink with blueberries an cachaza, but did´nt works).
Wherever, this was my best holiday, was a really nice place, you should go to meet it ;)

Latin American stereotypes

I think that in Latin America stereotypes exsist , those are based especially in the clothes they wear, the food they eat and them traditions, and one characteristic typical is the accent to know about which nationality i’m talking about. One stereotype is the colombian, everybody think that they have relation with drugs and guns. Another is the bolivian, they have de characteristic that are attached to them culture, with them clothes made of wool and everybody know that they talk right, like peruvians. I think that the stereotypes exsist because when we try to characterize some of those, everybody know about how i’m talking, for example i f i say that one latin american is a womanisers, where you’d say that he is from?
I think that other Latin American countries view Chileans like sopportive and nice. I have listened that sometimes the foreigns think that we talk fast and they dont understand easilly.
About the stereotypes of diferent groups of chileans i think that this could be accordinto the region (noth, central, south). I think that too there is stereotypes in the young population, about the diferent styles, like Pokemones, skaters, punkies, gothycs, metalers, emo, hippies, etc, this is more relationated to the clothes they wear and the music they listen.

Playa Chica – Cartagena


Maybe almost everyone think that Cartagena is a “flyte” place, and in fact i think the same but now im talking about the beach called Playa Chica. As his name say, this is a really little beach, has a length around the 365 meters, his bay has a position with respect to the marine derive that give him a reflective condition, so this is a quiet beach generally. Also I like the landscape around the beach, there is a castle in at the north of it called Ferreiro built around the 20’ that is really beautiful but is left and neglected. At south of the beach there´re another bay and some creeks, that have beautiful vegetation that give it a nice detail. I think that because of this it is full in summer. What I don’t like is that the sand is dark, there is a little river mouth from I don’t know where, the people don’t care about the garbage (sometimes even you can find pieces of broken glasses, so dangerous), also the people sometimes is not nice (they are flytes and it intimidates me), but… well I think that this beach should be more cared for everyone of us to change the image that the people has of this and make it nicer.
The  last time I went was almost one and half year ago, with my friend and classmate Luis, and the last time y swam there were in eve of the earthquake, was fun because the waves were big and we tried to survive.

A.N.A.T.O.



A Night At The Opera, this was the fist cd i buyed. it was when i was at the high school i think, maybe i was 14 or 15 years old then. I used to go to the Mall Plaza Vespucio after class and i liked to go to La Feria del disco to see cds, one day i get enought money and went for it!
To be honest Queen is my favorite band, one of the first song i listened from they was Somebody to love in a featuring with George Michael and i thought it was by he, but not... then i discovered Bohemian Rhapsody, one of the most populars song by Queen, in fact this song appear in this album, which made them famous. I think that Bohimian Rhapsody is a really good song, but in this album the most powerfull is the song called The Prophet´s Song, and the most powerfull ever from Queen, the lyric is some confused, not so eloquent, but it shows what is Queen in all (liryc and instrumentally). Another song that i really like is Seaside Reandevouz, this try about a boy who wants to conquer a girl and invite her to take a walk by the reandevouz to convince her. Another popular and beautifull song in this album is Love of my life.
A characteristic of this album that i like a lot, is that every song is conected with the next one, so sometimes is hard to define where begins the next, and some funny. Sometimes when i back to listen it, so carefully, makes me feel strange things... makes me back to the time when i buyed it.



ps: this cd helps me a lot to learn English, because i tried to traslate the songs that were in the songbook.

Juncal Alto glaciar

My favorite  field trip was to the Juncal glaciar, it is located in the fifth region, to the east of Los Andes, in the Cordillera de los Andes. This field trip was for three days long, and we were like ten classmates, and the teacher (Francisco Ferrando (L) ). The first day we traveled to the place in a van arround four hours and then we had to walk with our giants bags like five hours more trough the valley, it was really beautifull, and the walking, despite to the long, worth! When we arrived to the camp zone, we must up the tents and quickly the night falls. The next day we should wake up early and strart to walk to the glaciar (the ice),  it was really fun and some complicated to walk on the ice, even one classmate almost died because he fell in a  rift. We had lunch close to a “glaciar table” and then we descended to the camp. I remember that the two nights that we had there, the moon was full and we could see everything arround in the landscape, this is one thing that i’ll never forget, was a really beautifull view. The third day we took our bags and did the same route back to Santiago, but with less weight because of the food thta we ate.

Social networks tools...

First i must make clear that i am not a big fan of the "ciberworld", but in the moderns time is almost impossible to be out. Years ago i used to use diary messenger, have conversation with my friends, spent a lot of time in this and usually i got fighting because of the coumputer with my stepbrother, but now i dont enjoy it so and i use it just for specific this, like coordinate works and this kind of things.
Actually the social network that i take a look now and then is Facebook, i use it to let post to my friends and receive information about events and partys.
And now i'm learning to use this tool "Blogspot", i think is a good idea to know how are our classmates in this class and maybe help someone.
Moreover i use Myspace to listen music from some band that i cant find to download or know new bands, in fact right now im listening through myspace a Chilean singer called Mamacita, i saw her the last week live and i begged her to give me one cd that she was selling, because i didn't have more money to buy it (she gave it to me free). she makes really funny music! LISTEN TO HIM!
well... i don´t use to use another social network tool so i can´t tell anymore. 
that's all


pd: Simon  sorry for dont wen yesterday to your class, i can't wake up -.-
