In my life, the sports are very important, because it’s an activity that makes me healthy and happy. When I’m doing some sport, in my case Karate, I can release all the stress of the daily routine. Thus, when people play any sport, for example soccer, this is very good for keeping a good health, and feeling better with themselves. For me, running must be a national level sport, because for people it’s very necessary to run for a while at least once per week, since that is a sport for which you don’t need anything for practicing it, and it helps a lot to prevent heart failures in the future. This activity can encourage other people with politics to promote sports. And with this, all people can realize that it’s important for them, and take conscience of it.
Chile, compared with others countries, is a very lazy country in these activities, for example, in Argentina there are a lot of sports , as stadiums, gyms, soccer and tennis courts, and a lot of possibilities to practice any sports. In Chile there is an absence of initiatives to promote
sport. In Chile, there is a sport called Rodeo a la Chilena that sometimes is very criticised, because it’s about catching a young bull that could be injured. For me, this activity is not a sport, but a traditional custom. Maybe with a few measures to take care of the animals we could keep this practice. But for me, the activity that for some people can be considered a sport, and for me must be eradicated, it’s the cockerel fights. In this activity, these animals are very injured, and in a lot of cases, they are killed. This is an insane activity that must be eliminated, and the people who practice it should be punished

Post # 5: WHAT TO DO & WHERE TO GO IN STGO
In Santiago there are a lot of things to do. Since it is the capital of Chile, it is a place when you can do a lot of fun things. You can go, for example, to Fantasilandia, an amusement park, where you can have a very nice moment. Thus, if you like to go to parties, you can go to Bellavista district. There are a lot of pubs and places of this kind.
If you are a foreigner, I recommend to visit the Plaza de Armas, a very nice place, with a lot of history. Of if you like to see natural places, you should go San Cristobal hill, where you can find very nice places, as a Japanese park, and a zoo, with a lot of diversity of animals.
You can go too to the national museum of arts, where you can find a lot of national art of outstanding Chileans painters.
A thing that you must do in Santiago is go to Farellones, a ice skating center, where you can learn to ski in snow, a very fun sport that I recommend a lot.
And of course, if you are a foreigner, you must take a wine route, as the Colchagua valley, a very nice place, where you can enjoy the best wine of Chile, and meet the culture of make it.
But if you like the sports, you should go to the Monumental Stadium David Arellano, the most modern stadium of Chile, of the soccer team Colo-Colo. It’s very nice.
Finally, if you like to go to concerts in Santiago, you must go to the National Stadium, where there are a lot of concert with a great variety of artist. You only have to see the entertainment guide, and look out the music that you like.

Post # 4: the role of music
The music in my life does a very important role, because for me, it’s one of the things that make me happy in the moments where I am sad.I’m not a very good singer, but I play the guitar since I was sixteen, and it’s one of the things that I enjoy the most.
I like to listen to a lot of kind of music, from 60’ rock, as Deep Purple, to pop, as Oasis, Coldplay, and more. But me beloved kind of music it’s de Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, as Gun’s n Roses, my favourite band, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Rage Against the Machine. But I listen to the Classical music too, because I went to a few classes with a music teacher, and I had to play with the guitar a lot a classical music, as Pacherbell, Mozart, Beethoven, and more.
I get the music from mainly from the internet, because it’s very easy to find what I need, or sometimes with friends, when the kind of music that I looking for it’s very exotic.
As I said, my favourite band is Gun’s n Roses, because I like principally the style of the guitar player of the band: Slash, a very good guitar player. When I am studying I listen to classical music, as Beethoven or Mozart, and when I’m happy I listen to hard rock music, as Guns ‘n Roses or Led Zepellin, something like that. But when I am a little sad I listen to heavy metal a lot, as Pantera, o Symphony X.
And finally, for me the music it’s very important because listen to all the time when a can, and it’s one of me most funny thing for me when I’m bored.

Post # 3: Transantiago, before and after
One of the critics of the system is the economical idea of give this service with the minimal cost for the State. This can be seen in the current subway. Now, especially in the morning because there are a lot of people trying to go on it, it’s very difficult travel on it.
The transport system of the buses now it’s very slow, in comparison with the Pre-Transantiago.
Thus, in the beginning the people had a lot of trouble for understand the new routes of the buses, and for this, they doesn’t know what travel use.
But, this new system has a lot of good things too. The buses are safer than before, because they have a lot of security system, as the speed limit of the drivers and the technologic system of the doors. When I used the buses in the anterior system, I had a lot of problems, because there are very dangerous, since the speed of the buses it was not limited as now. And the drivers of before sometimes were too angry people. Now the drivers are very handsome.
For me, the main trouble is that the Government takes a system of another place and they try to put it in a country with different culture and different kind of people of the original country, and they don’t take these variables before implanting it. For me, the solution is take this elements, and make a system that take the social factor as important. And with this, make new routes that can give solution of the traffic and the problems with the travels of the buses.

I would like to go to...
Personally, I really would like to go to Spain, because I like a lot of thing of this place. First, I like the music of the country, because always have good guitar players, as Paco de Lucía. He is the best flamengo guitar player in the world for me, and his talent is reveleated in a lot of challenges, where he won a lot of awards.
In Spain, I like the celebrations, as La tomatina, in Valencia, where all the people throw tomatoes to the others. It's very funny.
Thus, I would like to go to Spain, because I have a very old friend that I want to visit someday. When he was in Chile, we was very good friends, and for that I always remember him. He lives in Mallorca, so he can go to the stadium frecuentely.
From Spain, I know all the thing about their History and the relationship with Chile in this case. And I know that the cine it's very good in there, because there are a lot of important Directors, as Almodovar and Amenabar.
In Spain, I would like to go to a lot of parties, because in Spain there are the best parties in Europe, meet people and make a lot of friends. But mainly I would like to go to the most important stadium, as the Santiago Bernabeu, and the Camp Nou of the my favorite Spanish team, the Barcelona FC .
Someday, I have the idea to study in Spain, in the Universidad Ortega Y Gasset, where is one of the most important universities of Europe, and later, work as Diplomatic in this country, and obviusly live here, because there is a very nice country, with a lot of resources, and a lot of interesting things to do and learn! Always is good do new things in different places.
Definitelly I'll go someday to this country, when I finish my career.
