This post is about the thirty tree miners trapped in the mine.

So first I think that this is a very tragic event but that reflects a reality n our country which is that there is no regard for this kinds of workers in Chile, because they know that their job was dangerous and they also that if they didn’t go to the mine every day they would not be able to sustain their families. So this tragic event is like a slap to every body who over look this situation that happens all around this country and I think that this could be a chance to make a change in the work condition of the people.

Another point that is relevant of this situation is how this is had been handling by the press and the government, this has became in to a reality show in which every body wonted to get a benefit, every day in the news there is some minutes dedicated to this and the recue will be transmitted for more than thirty signals, today in the morning in a show they were showing to the people how the reporters life was and they had invade the privacy of the families and the miners exposing they so much in my point of view and by the other hand I think that the government had use this event to turn off the view of the people and create a situation making the people believe that there were nothing more important in Chile apart of this thirty tree miners life .

So everything depends of what do you wont to do because Santiago is full of extractives and activities. If you want to know the city you have to go to the historical center and have a walk knowing places like la moneda, plaza de armas, the national history museum, santa lucia hill and it´s market, the mapocho station and of course the Mercado central when you could eat a lot of traditional dishes like sea food or empanadas. Others neighborhoods that you should go are the brasil and providencia because both of them are very representative of some aspects in the daily life in Santiago and you could buy hand made products typically of Chile. You don’t have to forget the San Cristobal hill and have a mote con huesillos. If you take a bus and travel less than an hour you can get to el cajon del maipo that is a place located in the middle of the cordillera de los Andes and cross by a river and it has a wonderful landscape and also you can go to skis centers like colorado or portillo.
So my top five for you are, go to the Mercado and eat a mariscal it’s a meal that you would never forget, get to the top of the san Cristobal hill by foot and then have a mote con huesillos, go to barrio yungai and learn to dance cueca that is our national dance if you have the chance of going to a concert of Chilean music don’t lose it, and finally try to visit the cajon del maipo is a magic place surrender by nature.

Today I have to write about a country that I would like to visit, so the country that I would like to travel is Greece. First I think that the Greek landscape is very attractive the beaches (I think that I have a fascination whit the sea) and the mixing of country side and beach and the mountains I think that it’s one of the best views in the world. I also like Greece because its history it´s like the place in our civilization started all the classic philosophers and the origins of the democracy everything started there, I imagine to myself in the same place than all that stuffs took place, well I also like to know the huge monuments of the Greek architecture like the Apolo´s temple and the partenon and I try to imagine how was common life in there, or meeting Olympia and the olimpo´s mountain. Another reason because I would like to travel to Greece it’s because it’s a contrast country in a lot of senses there are a lot of poverty but it’s a very glamorous country and also to think what was Greece in a time and what is this now. I of course all the traditions that are in Greece like when they crush the dishes in to the ground or when every men dace together in a circle. That why I would like to travel to Greece.
