The Best Walk Ever

When I was 18 years old, I has the best walk ever throughout of my life!!!!  Finally I know the ruins of MACHU PICCHU, I think that day was the day more walk, I day tired this day, but the same time very very happy. I waited this day for ten years, when I was a I child I see a few photographs of my father in a travel with his best friend tour in Perú, and is in this moment, precisely in this moment the only I wanted to do was to travel to Perú.

Is for that when I was the top of the Inca Empire I cried, yes I cried, this place was something magical. Machu Picchu is one the places more beautiful in the world, is the type of travel I can do one thousand times, without ask nothing.

In this travel I recognized places that many times only see in the TV, in programs of the nature, and in this moment I saw impossible see in the real life.

I enjoyed so much because the Peruvian is a person so happy, and very funny, your culture is full of traditions with a history very respected for the people in Perú, they love to be Peruvian, and that unfortunately not seen in Chile.

Thanks!

My Ideal Job.

Hi, in this opportunity I will tell you which would my ideal job!!! I start tell you about of many jobs I´ve had, as usual in summer vacations. My first job was at 14 years old in Chiloé, in a travel agency. Then I worked as a sales woman in Levi´s clothing stores (I hated this job with my heart!!!!). and finally my  last job was  as selling Natura products, I love this job because I was landlady of my time.      

Is for this, i would like work as a Geographer, but no any Geographer… a Geographer in post of the society, I would like the processes  of gentrification, and the why occur this invasions to nature. And for this I need know more cultures, more thoughts, not just what they want us to show, the means and formal education, yes its true, I need the formal education, but is not only in life.

For this job I need have very qualities, I need patience for not fall into other interests or in my owns interests, individualism not go to me.  I need good comprehension for read more books and for understand the other cultures or locations, for interpreting the territory and to translate it into projects. I need be human, more human, for change this chaos.

I think I would be good for this job, because I don’t understand the “I could do” but “I did not do it”, help to another people is gratifying.

Many famous people are famed for helping others, but I don’t know one person more trained in this meaning that my grandfather, he is my inspiration.

 Hi in this oportunity I will talk about of the country I would like to visit, in my case is Spain. Since I was very young I liked to travel, initially in Chile with my family, then my friends and now want to go live to exchange and learn from other cultures; and Spain is a very interesting culture whit a lot of public holidays.

I would like visit the city of Valencia, which has within its festivities, for example:

- The “feria de julio”, which is consists of bullfights, battles of flowers and a lot of pyrotechnics.

-The “Día de la comunidad Valenciana”, celebrated the nine of October, Celebrating the conquest of a city at the hands of the Arabs.

- “Las fallas de San José” is a more important public holidays of this city. Is a celebration of four days and four nights, and with many streets and squares huge cardboard monuments that will burn during those nights.

In Spain I would like learn about political geography with my friend Gisella.

Starry Night of Art

Hello! I have written on many topics, it's moment for talk about art!

I'll start for telling you that it has accompanied me in all my life because my mother is a muralist  and painter in general and my father does contemporary oil paintings on canvas. That's how I had a refference of painters, sculptors and writters immersed in the art world.

Of many paintings that I have seen, the one that caught all my attention in some kind of magic-way getting trapped watching it is "Starry Night" from Vincent van Gogh. I like it so much that for one moment I thought that I could replicate it in my room, I dont know if I like the colors, because the technique that Van Gogh uses, But when I see it I feel tranquility. It's strange because some people think that tranquility wasn't one of Van Gogh mind states.

Van Gogh was son of a protestant pastor, I have pastors too in my family; but I think we don't have a protestant profile, his paints express different kind of  feelings showing that he had a wide gamut of them. Some express melancoly, break, happiness, some of them remorse, others desesperation. But I feel that he didn't paint one with a protestant vision of life.

Those are some of the reasons why I like Van Gogh's art despite that he never got to be known, selling only one painting in all his life. It's ironic that his paintings never got selled coming of him and now they are selled for millions after that who knows where they had been all this time.

The Politics of Football

For me personally, this cup was not pleasant, at least I thought so at first. Not because I'm not a fan of football, but because of the political connotation it took. I say this mainly because of the national context of radicalization of social movements, student, the health system, mining, subcontract, discussions about AFP, the binomial system and no less critical, the use of force special against these movements.

 I feel this Copa America served to not display openly everything that is happening in the country, it bothered me that all the media were plagued with gossip, images, commentary and historical reviews of Chilean football, making it look like a circus. It can not be possible that the car crash of Arturo Vidal had been in the news about a week, and the people that organized protests in that same week were mentioned like it was something less important. Likewise I do not deny that I liked the fact that people despite being tired from his work they could rejoice in the victory of the team. It is here at this point that I began to see the Copa America with different eyes, not so critical or rejective.

This is how the day ended: the Cup stayed with the bitter taste of any player, with all the microphones in his favor and had not said anything about any of the real struggles or facts of a political nature which have emerged in this country. Being there at that time is when I heard an interview with Jean Beausejour wheel of Chilean Selection saying these words. "I only dimensioned now what happened a few days ago when I got a call by a teacher of cadets who said:" Hopefully, in the stadium that so many people suffered and were tortured, we may have a joy"
