Photographs


   I really like this photograph. A friend of mine took it, in her final year scholar trip.
   Specifically, she took it in Brazil.
   I like this photo because I thing that the colors that it has are amazing. But the principal reason is because it has a Magnolia tree. The thing is that my favorite tree of the world is the Magnolia. So when I found this picture, the combination of the tree, the beautiful colors and the ocean behind, make me felt in love.
    I am a fanatic of analog cameras. I believe that digital cameras are too impersonal. You take the picture and then you have it in your computer, but never in your own hands. The great thing of taking photos, in my opinion, is when you can have them in your hands, maybe in an album. I think that the time you have to wait meanwhile they reveal the roll, it´s an amazing waiting. Another reason of why I like analog cameras, is because every photograph that you take it´s a special one. You choose carefully what moment you like to capture. On the other hand, Digital cameras can take thousand of photographs. Photos that maybe you don´t even care.
   I am not a photolog freak. In fact, I never had been has a photolog. The truth is that I don´t even know how to pass photos to a computer. Instead of that I have facebook. In my perfil I have a lot of photos of myself, my friends and my family. Also some photos of trips that I made.
   I like black and white photographs. I don´t know why exactly. Maybe because they seemed to me like photos about the past. Like photos of antique moments that now are beautiful memories.

Movies


   I really don’t know what my favorite movie is. But one of the movies that I like the most is V for Vendetta. This movie it’s an adaption of the comic book series of the same name and it talks about a man called “V” that fight against his totalitarian society. I really like this movie because it makes an allegory of the oppression and intervention that the government does. And also because in this movie some important things like freedom and love are mention. That’s why I really recommended it! In fact, I already have seen it two times.  
   I really like to see movies. But the truth is that I haven’t has a lot of free time, so I don’t remember what’s the last movie I have seen.
   I also believe that go to the cinema it’s a funny activity to do. But sadly, going to traditional cinemas is every year more expensive. That’s why I usually search on internet some places where they show movies for free. Some examples of these places are the national cinema and Uc cinema. Another great alternative to see movies for free it’s too seen it at the computer. There is an amazing page called “Cuevana” where you can find thousand of movies to see, of every topic.
   The truth is that I don’t like to see scary or terror movies. But it isn’t because it makes me be afraid. It’s just that I see no point in it.

Trip to London



   On Monday, the first day of our trip, we will start visiting The British Museum. We will start the tour at 10:00 am. The idea is that we can be there all the morning. The admission is free. There is also some free tours and talks. We will try to have at least one.
   On Tuesday, at the morning we will visit the city, and at 14:00pm we will go to visit The Tower of London. The idea is that we have to be on time because it closes at 17:30. As we are a big group of people, it will cost 14.5 Euros each one.
    On Wednesday we will go at 9:00 am to the Natural History Museum. It has an easily accessible by public transportation. By bus, buses run from most of the towns in the area. The entry is free.
    On Thursday we decide to have a long walk around the city. We believe that it´s an amazing way to enjoy the England culture. Maybe we will go to the Bushy Park or to the Greenwich park.
    On Friday we will visit the Kew garden (The royal botanic gardens). We will arrive at 10:00am and it will be a full day activity. Everyone will have to pay 11.90 Euros. We want to visit the Palm House, the Aquatic Garden and the Japanese Landscape. As it will be a full day activity, the idea is that we can have lunch in this place.
     On Saturday we will visit the London Eye. We will arrive at 10:00 a.m. Buses to the London Eye included the 211, 77, 381 which are connected with a lot of places of the town. So it will be easily to get there.  Each one will have to pay 19.98 Euros. As the London Eye is located next to Jubille Gardens, this is an ideal place to have lunch. Then we will have our last afternoon doing some activities with all the members of the class.
     On Sunday, as it will be our last day we will have time to relax. We’ll go out to walk around the city, eating some delicious things and getting prepare for the return to our country.
     The total cost it will be 46.38 Euros for each person. It doesn`t include food or Hotel.
   

The most incredible experience!

   Travel to different places and countries, is the most amazing thing that you can do. In fact, my favorite thing to do is travel. All year I dream with the idea of travel around latinoamerica. On 2010 I went to Ecuador and Bolivia and last summer I went to Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay for one month. Also I’ve been in the south of our country, in Tierra del Fuego, Puerto Natales y Chiloe. Few years ago I also went to the north of Chile. When I travel I usually go with my friends or my family.
   I feel that that type of experience is the best thing you can do. When you are in that dimension of life, everything is beautiful. Being near to the nature knowing different cultures is the most incredible experience that you can have.
   This summer I would really like to go to the jungle. I thing that I will go to Bolivia. Oh! And I have very good news. Yesterday my family and I decided to make a good trip on winter vacations. Probably we will go to Disney or Colombia.
   Talking about places that are near to Santiago, few weeks ago I went to “Cajon del Maipo” with my family and to “Palmas de Ocoa” with my class.
   I recommended this type of experience to anyone!
