My favourite Outdoor Activity

When I was a child my family used to plan some outdoor activities, like ride on bike, picnic, play volley, etc.  But my favorite one still is climb a hill near to my house, in Los Andes.  I like it because is a good opportunity to share with my brother, my sister, sometimes my dad and my dogs (they love it). Also because I love the nature and climbing I can see a lot of vegetation and some rabbits that appear on my way.  When we started to do it when we were a kids, around 6-7 years old, and we like it because we felt like Indiana Jones or something similar.  Now we do it once in a month, because we all have to do other things that spend time, overall me, because I just travel to my house on weekends, but my sister practice it everyday. Before leave the house we prepare our bags with some food and water.  It is so funny because all the people look at us because we look so ridiculous with a poodle dog each one.

Sand and Sun ... Beach!

I think that nobody could say that hate the beach. In my case, I love it. Nothing compares to the pleasure of being doing nothing, when all you have to worry about is to put yourself sun tan lotion. This is why I love to remember my travel to Bahía Inglesa, it was on March of this year. It is ocated in the third region of Atacama, a distance of about 700 kilometres from Santiago, around 12 hours by bus. Really the objective of my trip wasn't go to Bahía, I went to visit my boyfriend that is working in Copiapó. We took the car and we went to the beach. 
I think that is the most beautiful beach of the country, white sand, turquoise and warm water, no big waves, few people... really amazing. Usually I don't like to swim in the beach, but the water called me to get in. We had lunch at a restaurant in Caldera, a beach located next to Bahía Inglesa, and we ate delicious products of the sea.
The trip was a great experience, is very nice to know beautiful places, specially when these places are relatively close to Santiago. 

Differences between men and women

Women and men are different, but I think that no one is better than other, but they just have different qualities and skills that make some differences in the way to do some things.

Men, in my opinion, are more objectives in the way to face the life. I think that is the reason why they are more successful in fields like science and engineering.  They don’t think about other distracters and have the skill to separate one thing from another (like the job from the family). However, in this times, more men are successful in fields that we were used to see women, especially in the social and humanist area, where is necessary be a little more sensitive.

On the other side, women are more perceptive and emotional. We don’t have the skill to separate the things in our lives. We are always worried about something related whit our personal life and it have repercussions on our labor or student life.  Is necessary say that some women manage this theme in a better way than other ones. I think that the famous phrase “I think, then I exist” is very applicable for women, because we are always thinking about all the consequences and all the people before do something.

Important Holidays in Chile: September 18

September 18 is a celebration typical from Chile, when is commemorated the independence of the Country. Even though this is not the real independence's day, because the proclamation was on February 12, on September 18 was the first govenrment meeting. This is the reason because all the chileans celebrate with no boundaries, eating and drinking until the stomach allows it.

On this holidays, people are used to be joined with their families to enjoy the typical foods, music, customs and games of the country. The food is very important, it is reflected in the data: the chileans increase their weight on the order of 4 and 5 kilograms on the national holidays, because we are all day long eating and drinking. some typical foods and drinks are the barbecue, empanadas, cazuela, choripan, conger chowder, chicha, wine, piscola, etc. In the area of the music, the most important is the Cueca, that represents the typical dance of Chile. The games are important too, the most common is fly kites. The weather help to this because on September is very windy.
The chilean flags and other decorative elements related with the celebration everywhere you go.

Earthquake experience

On February 27th I was sleeping so peaceful in my house, when suddenly began to move the floor under my bed. I remember that I heard some screams of my mother telling (screaming hysterical) to everybody that it was a big earthquake and that we must get up, but I didn't believe her, because she always get so crazy when there is a little earthquake that scares to nobody. But the earthquake began to get more intense and then my sister (that is like my mother) fainted. At these time, a girl of interchange lived at my house, and all that I heard from her was "Oh my God!, Oh my God!". Meanwhile, my dad, my brother and me, we were calm and looking those crazy girls making a funny show. Happily, all my family was safe and nothing happened in my house.
