Don´t have my favorite photo.

The photography that most I like already is not in my possession and don’t remember when and where I had lost it, just I know that is not in my possession. This was my favorite photo because I am on an old train in motion and I am hung in an open door, really all doors were open. My sister took the photo with an old camera, so she told me “smile” and Flash… She took me the photo. In that photo I was with short hair and beard, also I was using a dark glasses and I was smiling. This was in six years ago in the summer of 2002; then I went to Concepcion for work in the distributing the telephone guide, and when the work finished I went to Negrete, a little town near to “los Angeles” and I was going by train with my mom, my sister and a pair of cousins. Was a travel very funny and in the photo is show the same, so is my favorite photo.

A country I would like to visit.

I would like know many countries in the different continents, for example in Asia I would like know Nepal that is a country of the ancient traditions and infrastructure, in Europe I would like visit Greece and the classic culture, in Africa… all the continents, in Oceania New Zealand and the Maoris. But the country that really I would like know is Peru and Bolivia and the northeast of Argentina. This is a geographical zone where it generates much of the history of the Andean peoples, the ancient cultures in Peru as Nazca or the Tiwanaku in Bolivia also the Atacameños and Aymaras in Chile and Argentina and after the Incas in these four countries make my favorite area for to visit because these cultures are the base for the actual territorial configuration and the borders only break the millennial cultural exchange. So I don’t want visit a special country but rather a geographical area with a common past and an uncertain future for the borders cause. Really I would prefer go alone to this zone because is necessary to find oneself and speak with people that not always understand why every time are people questions the same things and never happen nothing, and for answer some time is best to be alone. I would like do a great search about the migration in this zone and the actual cultural exchange, a line very little worked by the geography.

My best Field Trip

My best Field Trip was this summer, I went to San Pedro de Atacama, a little town in the second region, and this is a town with a long history, more than 5.000 years and with agriculture systems nearby to 2.500 years. I went to this Field Trip only for casually, one day the teacher Enrique Aliste realized an invitation to participle in a search about the irrigation in San Pedro de Atacama with a geographer of the University of Chile, he is Raúl Molina and other professionals of others Universities, as an anthropologist of the University Christian humanism, and a geographer of Catholic University. Also I went with others classmate from here. In the beginning I went for know a new beautiful place, but when I began to work and know the local reality I wanted to continue research about irrigation and the competition for the water in this arid zone and I became this search in my professional practices. Went we were there was really funny, we worked all day and in the night we drank in a pub called “All Natural” and there we spoke about the day work, drinking a delicious piscola and smoking a delicious cigarette and others things. Also I learned to dance “Tinkú” a traditional dance of the zone, was really an unforgettable experience.

Everyone are playing Travian

Some days ago, Gino, my best friend told me that he was playing a game on line about three civilizations; The Germans, the Gals and the Romans, the Game is called Travian. The play consist in create a little town with one of the civilization appointed before, then you must make grow these town until be a big civilization. When you start the game one soldier of your town say how you must do, first you must sow wheat and work in the mines and in the forest and you must produce mud, with this elements you can build barracks and others basics building for your survive. When you have a town strong with the basics elements, the soldier is leave and the civilization is on your hands.
This is a funny game because you can attack others town and stole their products for you, also you can training many solders different and make business with others players (who too attack you) so is a good game, but nothing is perfect this game is not the exception and sometimes it is a bit slow, but you can play while you work in the reports for the university. If do you want play do in travian.cl, is easy and funny.

My favourite piece of technology

My favourite piece of technology is the computer, my old and dear friend, I have got it near six year ago, and never had it failed, use this is really easy, just I must know the letters and some programs as word, excel, power point and others programs that I use in geography as Arc Gis, Idrisi and others less communes, just I must put the correct information and the results are good always. I use my computer very often, maybe every days, but it have some limitations because I don’t have internet on my home, so I must use internet in the university and there I get the information that I need, then I save these information on my Mp3 player (my other favourite piece of technology) and in the afternoon I work with these in my computer. Sometime the people say ¡oh that complicate! but I say they that only it is question of custom, and I am that.
I like my computer because though is an old device, I feel honey for it and I know how work it, my life without my computer would be empty, I wouldn’t have nothing in what write my reports for the university or play in my leisure moments. Really my computer is my favourite piece of technology.

A film I like

The movie that more I like is “The lord of the Rings”, I saw this movie for first time when a cousin told me that was a good movie, so I believed to him, and I saw the movie, that was two or three years ago. Initially looked like to me too much fiction, but then I liked the history and began be a good movie. I was on my home, with my cousin and my girlfriend; we were eating some french fries and drinking beers. That day we couldn’t concentrate on the movie, so we had to see this again and recent on that moment I understood the movie.
The movie is about the middle earth, a world with different species animals and humans, on this earth living beings are good and bad, but the worse of everyone is called Sauron, he is a specie of giant eye, all evilness live in him, he created an evil ring with powers that everyone wants, but that brings misfortune to the middle earth. So one representative of each specie decided who should destroy the ring and together decided that he should be Frodo, a Hobits who is a man of medium stature, taller than a dwarf and smaller than a normal man, Frodo with Sam, other Hobits, must destroy the ring and they have adventures very exciting.

The Fiestas Patrias.

The fiestas patrias are a special days for me, because not only mean the first the first joint national of government, also because is the only date in the year were every Chileans are units in the same consign. A typical Chilean on this day dance “cueca” the traditional dance in Chile, eat “empanadas and anticuchos” very cooked on this dates, and also many people go to visit to the loved peoples.
When I was a child I played with a trompo and watched the horse racing on Negrete, a little town to thirty kilometers south of Los Angeles, in the eighth region, there live my grandmother and still I go to visit when have an important date.
Nowadays I’m with my girlfriend in my home or in her home, sometime we go to visit some friends for drink and eat with their, sometime we dance but to she don’t like because she don’t know dance very well.
My favourite 18 was when I was 22 years, Two years ago, I went to Negrete with my family and my girlfriend, at that time we ate several roasts on my grandmother's house and on the banks of the river which is near of the her home, and all the men who were there present played football and we drank beers, was incredible.
