A Place to Eat

Hello classmates!! 
Today I have to speak and " recommend them " to them about one of the places to what always I am going to eat. It is a soda fountain and restaurant called "Pollisimo" stays a few steps from Metro Baquedano for the Alameda and this one between a KFC and a Pichara. The truth is that this place happens very unnoticed and i knew it one day in the one that was raining and was with my girlfriend, we enter not to get wet (and to see if we could eat something) and my girlfriend since it is addicted of you them eat fried he asked for an order and when they us brought the plate it was a giant portion and at once we ask the waiter him if it was the " big portion " and he said to us that it was the smallest!
You eat them fried of this place they peel and cut them to hand, the portions are generous and the attention is very good (you prop the prices they are very cheap). Besides dads fried they sell lunches and snack food to serve or to go. It cannot only any more that to say that they should be going some day to eat something!!



Someone I Would Like to Meet

Hello to all!!
Today he will speak to them about someone whom always I have wanted to know (though not pus to do it, for that this died) I refer to the Master Leonardo Da Vinci, he is one of the men whom I have admired since I saw his works in a museum for a walk of the college, he will never forget this day since indeed I felt that all the works that towards for very different or abstract, they had a connection and a soul in them. If it could re-live through it, probably he would not speak very much with, simply he would ask him to leave myself to be his assistant this way to know mas about him and we would communicate across what our hands should make. Though it is impossible to bring it of return to the life, always it will be an example to continuing for my in every sense, but especially I teach myself not to give up though the whole world a madman of auction creates you for trying to do what some of them only dream.






BBC English Learning Website

Good day classmate!!
Today i had to navigate upon the page of the BBC Learnig English, was crossing all it divides and it seems to me that it is a good tool to understand and to improve the english, especially across the tools that it includes like her of spoken english and them of grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, the truth is that though I was a half hour in the site I learned a couple of things of rapid and simple form. The bad only thing is that the interface between the user and the page is very bad, indeed the page manages to bore of it monotonous that is and having the whole screen alone it uses 3/4, definitively if they were doing that the page was mas attractive, the people would sail more in her



The design in my life

Since it was very small always I like to do things with the hands, already be to draw, to arm puzzles or to play at arming things. But I never had very clear what it wanted to do of big. Even in my last year of college not wise even very well that to study and was thinking that serious a good idea to study Forensic Medicine; until a friend of the college said to me " it hears and for that you do not study design? " The truth is that in it not wise epoch much on the topic, but I am called so much the attention that I began to investigate and really my world was opened! I found my vocation and it would not change it into anything, from this day fall in love with the Design in all his senses (graphic and Industrial) and though the career is difficult it has always things that make me love more the design.






London Webquest! - KEW Royal Btanic Gardens

Hi people!!!
When it looks on the web pages i found one that I am called myself really the attention, since always I have liked the nature and spaces opened (though also I love the museums and silent spaces) the page was that of KEW Royal Botanic Gardens; it corresponds to one of the important mas gardens of Londres, visits can be done to different hourly, it has coffe shop, a place of ceremonies (I suppose that it must be for marriages and sew this way), also it possesses places to relax and a gift shop.
Not only it is a botanical garden, also it is a natural reservation of species of the flora on the verge of extinction and at the same time studies are generated it brings over of these. I hope that when he travels to londres it manages to go to this wonderful place!

Crystal Castles in Maquinaria 2011

Hi everyone!!!
today I'm commenting about a concert of one of my favorite bands!!
the name is Crystal Castles. Crystal Castles is a Canadian electronic experimental band formed in 2004 in Toronto consisting of producer Ethan Kath and vocalist Alice Glass. The duo is known for their chaotic live shows and lo-fi melancholic homemade productions. They released many limited vinyl EPs between 2006 and 2007.
I could discover this group across the social networks (in a forum of electronic music) in the 2007; then I follow every video and disc that they announced. I really wish to see them in a live concert, but but it was difficult that they were coming to Chile to the being a band from Canada. Years after the page of a Blondie discotheque in on his web page they announced the live concert of CC in Chile (2010), I can't believe it was really filled with enthusiasm; the problem is that I could not go for personal motives and I was feeling really sad and in this minute I imagined that indeed nevermore to seeing them in life.
The some year later, checking the bands that might be in the "Maquinaria festival"(2011) I saw that again permission CC and indeed that this time i buy the ticket they were in Internet. The wait to enter this day was eternal, but, as soon as between and I could see the concert through, was an unforgettable experience. The music that does this duo does of that truth my body tremble and it fills it with energy. Now they came this year to the Lollapalooza (2013) not great and whenever they extract new songs, his style is advancing and Growing. I wait to be able to see them soon in another concert (and I expect to have the money hahaha!) thanks everyone to read my post about one of my favorite bands!

Vacation in Cartagena

Hi! I’m going to talk about this beach called Cartagena because I was invited by my girlfriend’s relatives for our vacation. This beach is located in the province of San Antonio, Valparaíso. My girlfriend goes almost every summer, but this was one of the few times I go there, but this time was special. She was already in Cartagena when I was invited, so we met in San Antonio with her family. We went to walk along the fairs where she likes to buy presents to her family, and then with her parents and sisters we went to have launch at a sea food restaurant. We had a really good time eating there; we laughed, talked and enjoyed a lot the time we spent there. It was very nice. After that, we walk along San Antonio, watched the sea wolfs, seagulls and the ships that were arriving to the port. Then we went to Cartagena, where we met with others relatives of her, and in that time we walked along the sand, watched the sea and what it surprised me the most was the “Wave-Breaker” (rompe olas). It’s a way long big wall that separates the hill from the high rocks and big waves. So, the attracting thing about this wave-breaker, is that everytime a wave hits the wall, the water crashes so hard that all the people standing there gets all wet but not accidentally, but because they want to get wet. So it’s really funny, especially when the wave it’s quite big. Late at night, we made a barbecue, with a lot of meat, wine and some oysters with cheese; those are so yummy we ate a lot. So we had a really nice time but at the next day it was time to say goodbye and go back to Santiago. Even if it was just one day and a half, I spend an awesome time with my girlfriend and her family, I got to know them better and they got to know me better. So that would be it, I hope you enjoyed reading this because It was a short but great vacation I had. Thanks for reading
