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 .

tourist in santiago

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.

the year until now

My experience during the first part of this year, first I have to say that this hasn’t been a normal year first because of the earthquake this was an a unforgettable moment which I think was a very important experience to all of us in my case it was a moment to realize of how weak humans are and also to see how much damage could people stand. Other thing that was important of this year to me is that is my first year that this university and in the career that I wonted so at the beginning it was a little hard to me to get use to the level of study and the requirements of the career and the new people but throw the time pass by I realize that I have to get use to this so now I am on that. I´m scout since I was ten years old and this is the most important activity in which I spend my free time (so my free time is not as much like that) because I have a lot of work to do whit the girls and plan camping and activities for every Saturday. So this had been my life in the first semester trying to get use to new stuffs and continue whit old ones without loosing my mind my friends and my boyfriend (very important stuffs.

second semester suggestions

Hi, I`m Sofia and this is the first post of this semester and we have to write about some suggestions of the topics for the blogs, I think that it is a very good idea because last semester sometimes we weren’t so interested in the topics. So I think that it would be a good idea to write about the 18 of September celebration and things related whit the bicentenary and stuffs like that, I remember that last semester the most funny and interesting blogs were when we had to wrote about us and our lives like what things to we like to do or our favorite something , I also think that maybe it could be interesting write about of things related whit the national and international contingency. And finally I last semester we had to write about of some stuffs related to our carriers and sometimes it was a little bit difficult to me because I´m a first year student so maybe if we are going to do that this semester maybe less specific than last. So thats it luck in the semester see you.

my blogwriter experience

My experience like a blog writer has not been a very good experience instead of what I thought of how this will be.
This is the first blog in which I write I never had someone before this, at the beginning I thought that may be this could be a good idea, because I always enjoy writing and almost never had problem to express my opinion about something, and I often like to talk about interesting things and giving my own point of view.
But trough the time pass by at realize that it wasn’t so easy and it takes me more time than I would like to write down a post, so I start to get frustrated and every time that we had to write into the blog I didn’t wont to do that.
May be because I`m not a very creative person and it takes me a long time to think about what im going to write about and also because some times the temes that we had to wrote about i was not very inform about like stuffs relatives to the carrier (I am a first year student so when I had to wrote about someone important for the anthropology I didn’t have any idea of about who can be that person) and other reason to me is that I`m a very hurry person that wants to do everything quickly and it’s like I wanted to say a lot of things but I don’t know how .
But by the other hand its helps me to see some mistakes that I make during I`m writing but sometimes I don’t realize of the mistake and I can’t figure out this in to the text, but doing this over again and read this for more than two times sometimes I find out the mistake, so this is an advantage of writing a blog and also you receiver the comments of the teacher that helps you to improve your writing and.
So I suppose that at the end it hadn’t been that bas as I thought but it also was as good as I tough, I think that I had improve my English in some way but I still have things to do.

the worl cup

I`m going to see the world cup, I’m expecting of this and of course about the Chile participation in to this.

I think about that this is a very good moment in which every body gets together and it has every people focus in a subject, it’s a common theme of conversation in which everyone has something to say about.

The entrance of Chile en the world cup has been a full process, we all had been pendent of the matches since the classificatory stage, and it gives the chance for the people to see this whit their friends, family, or even whit people that we don’t know (like people in a pub or here in the university), it’s a reason to celebrate and I think that we all remember when Chile get in to the world cup, that it seems that every person in Santiago was at the street celebrating, so I see this like a chance to be more relax (in some way) and for have breaks in to the rutting.

I`m going to see the match at home and alone because at that time my everyone in my family had gone (my parents to work and my sisters to school), so I`m going to wake up earlier and going to my parents bedroom, because it’s the only television at home, and maybe I take breakfast at bed, maybe I will call my boyfriend and talk whit him in during the match but not the entire match, and I don’t know it would be interesting seen this in a different way that I always do, and have to say gooooool alone.

I hope that tomorrow Chile will made an excellent match and we win in front of Honduras because the next two matches are more difficult to win so I’m faithful that we are going to win tomorrow and with a big advantage over Honduras.
