Pulp Fiction

I like a lot the movies, most of all if go to the cinema for look a good movie. So, I have many favorites movies, like “Amelie”, “Up”, “Amores Perros”, “El secreto de sus ojos” or “Pulp Fiction”. In general, I love Tarantino’s movie because the plots are very interesting and entertaining. And Tarantino show themes like violence or revenge in a way much attracting.
“Pulp Fiction” tells the history of drug dealer, bodyguards of powerful men and revenges between gangs. The kitsch atmosphere and ironic dialogues as the highlights elements present in the movie. There are much guns confrontation, with blood’s scenes and shootings. But also have scenes of “love”, as when Mia Wallace (the wife a powerful and evil man) and Vincent Vega (the bodyguard of this man) dance in a restaurant with music like Rock and Roll background. This is one of my favorites scenes in all movies in the world! I hope someday to dress up like Uma Thurman in this scenes, and dance like she. As well, in “Pulp Fiction” it a partners more recording in all movies of the times. They are Vincent and Jules (Samuel L. Jackson), violent guys in dangerous adventures.
One of the things of much I love in this movie is the mix between the daily life of the characters, if like our life, and the problems with to battle. This problems not to present in our life, like shootings or drugs, so it`s very funny show this things in the movies.

Santiago...a city that hides its charms.

If a stranger asks me what are the most entertaining and distinctive Santiago, would answer that at first glance seem a boring and ugly, but not so! There are many places to entertain.
In Santiago there are always many things to be done for different types of people. No doubt you should visit the center of Santiago, the old buildings as "La Moneda", the "Casa Colorada" and the Cathedral. Also walk around the Plaza de Armas and the Paseo Ahumada, as they are in these places where the daily life of Chile.

Among my favorite places in the city are:

- Museum of Bellas Artes and Parque Forestal: This museum has the oldest collections of paintings in the country, and that depict the various eras that have lived here in Chile. The museum is located in one of the most beautiful parks in Santiago, where one can lie on the grass to enjoy the summer.
- Parque Quinta Normal: This is another park in the city of Santiago that has museums of various kinds, and also a lagoon where you can browse. It is perfect for enjoying a sunny spring afternoon.
- Cajon del Maipo: Although this place is not proper in Santiago, this valley is only minutes from the city and can make beautiful walks surrounded by nature. You can visit hot springs, horseback riding, camping, etc.
- El Arrayan: Tourist site that offers people the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors and interact with plants and animals typical of the mountainous area of the metropolitan region. In this place you can fish, picnic, biking, etc..
- Cerro San Cristobal and Barrio Bellavista: The Cerro San Cristobal is located in the middle of the city and can do activities such as sports, going to the zoo, visiting the Japanese Park, etc. And at the end of the day you can go to the various night clubs of Bellavista, a drink and dance until dawn.

In this way, you can enjoy the city of Santiago in very different ways, connecting with nature as well as living the urban life.

Trapped Miners

The news of 33 miners trapped in the mine "San José", 700 meters of depht, in the northern part of the country, since August 5th cause a big impact to all Chilean population. After having no hope of finding alive, on August 22 were able to establish communication with them, and eas know that the 33 they were alive inside a refuge of the mine.
It was really surprising and exciting for all to know about the survival of these mens. But in my opinion, one of the things that more stands out in this news is the little respect that has had toward the miners. Since it became known that they were alive, the mass media have not stopped reporting things that have no relevance, such what they had lunch in a day, the play that was sent them or private messages that send miners to their families.
This situation shows the little respect that has to the private life, especially on this delicate theme, as both these mens and their families are in a sensitive state and last thing they need is to be hounded by the press. I would like the news has focused on the issue of poor quality found mines of our country and the poor condition of workers.
Finally, this news has been transformed into a circus where the miners are treaties like the participants of a "reality show", without to have elected to participate in it.

Greece

If you ask me what country I would like to know, my thoughts always go to the European continent. Their countries have always seemed very attractive for being the birthplace of interesting insights, as the philosophers of Germany, as also by their magnificent and various architecture. Among the countries that attracted my attention highlights Greece as the cradle of Western civilization.
My interest in this country arose in school, the classes of my favorite course, history. I was fascinated with all the classical culture, such as music, philosophy, architecture, sculpture and mythology. My dad is an actor, was a few years ago because his dream was to see the first theater in the world. After his trip he told me everything he saw there, and I was very excited to visit that country someday.
If some time travelled to Greece would visit all the museums, ruins and village exploring the culture of the country and meeting its people. Explore the old buildings, I would bathe in the beaches of the Mediterranean sea and go to the islands seeking adventure!
But only a tourist would, I would not stay to study or work there because it interests me rather what was there in the past and not so much what it is nowadays.
