September

Chile it`s a very good place to live, because it has a long territory with all kind of weathers and you can choose where to live or visit.
In cheli you can go to the beach to the mountains, you have lakes and rivers too all of them very close to the city.
The most beautiful for me it’s the south of Chile, the places for tourism are awesome. I love national parks in the south because these areas give pure air to the environment.
In September Chile celebrate our national festivities. We enjoy the typical food like empanadas, and great barbeque with tasty meat.
The tipical dance is the “cueca” where men and women wear special costumes, this dance it’s very nice, where the main objetive of the dance is that the “huaso” has to flirt with the woman and get her love.
But in September isn’t just celebrating there’s a day to remember when the army took the state by force, and that day is on 11th of September, this date for me is a black episode in the Chilean history and we need to leave this in the past after we make justice, because it produce anger and pain.

Transantiago

When transantiago started on February of 2007 people was very unhappy because there weren’t enough buses, the trips were different and you had to make at least two combinations; another thing that got people upset was that the buses were always crowded.
In consequence of all this the government had to improve the system and design new trips and put more buses in the streets.
Personally I think that for the poor people and for the students transantiago meant a real improvement in their lives, for the poor people because paying just one bus ticket they can take a lot of buses and even make a round trip; and for the students because all of us can have a student pass and have a better treat from the drivers.
Other good things about transantiago is that you can get into the subway without paying more, transantiago is much more organize than the older system and a little bit cleaner.
Some improvements that transantiago should have are putting more buses on the streets, making new trips so people make less combinations, having more control of the contamination that the buses liberate, making more exclusive ways, and promote the use of bicycles so there’s less traffic.

A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

The country I would like to go definitely it´s France.
France is located in Western Europe. France is very cosmopolitan, with a beautiful gothic architecture. It´s the first tourist destination in the World, and I need know why. France has a lot of high cultural places, like the Eiffel tower and the Louvre museum.
The most important to me It´s the France castles, because the French architecture It´s really fascinating, with cathedrals and many religious palaces.
During the middle ages, fortified castles were built by feudal nobles to mark their Powers against their rivals.
Paris, the "light city", is the capital of France and the country's most populated city. It is situated on the river Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region.
Much of contemporary Paris is the result of the vast mid-nineteenth century urban remodelling.
For centuries, the city had been a labyrinth of narrow streets and half-timber houses, but, beginning in 1852, the Baron Haussmann's urbanisation program involved leveling entire quarters to make way for wide avenues lined with neo-classical stone buildings of bourgeoisie standing.
Most of this 'new' Paris is the Paris we see today, this is awesome.

First Term

Always it´s difficult to come back to the college routine and it´s more hard when you had a great vacations with a lot of fun.
But this year I had a new start in the collage, I changed my mind and was great. I maked new friends and had good marks in my subjects.
The first semester was interesting, because I had a new subject, in the farm, with the productive species. I was in touch and very close with the animals. This experience helped me to clarify my mind and my wish to continues in the degree.
This year, I don´t know why, I had more free time and was great because gave me the opportunity to make a lot of things, play soccer ( I really like this in my free time), hang out with my friends, see movies, a go a couple times to the Beach.
