Visiting Greece

Well, the country that I would like to go is Greece, because it is a very important country in the universal history, and there we can to see many things that show a part of human history. I would like to know those old and beautiful buildings that I have seen in books.

Really I don’t know very much information about Greece, I have read history books and I have seen magazines about travels. I know that Greece has a very long history; it had a big empire in the old age and at this time Greek people made a lot of beautiful buildings for example the Greek Parthenon an old temple dedicated to goddess Athena. Other important place is the Olympus Mount, it‘s very popular because of the legends and myths about gods.

Greece is a beautiful country, but I wouldn’t like to live forever there, because the life in this place is very different, they have other language that I don’t know. I would stay during three o four weeks there, only to know the most beautiful places of this country. Actually I prefer to live here, in Chile.

Greece, the Homer’s land can tell the history with their buildings, temples, monuments and places. Finally I want to say that Greece is a beautiful country that I would like visit one time in my life. But no yet, because I am studying now and I don't have my money.

Bye, bye !!

Visiting santiago !!

Well, actually I’m not from Santiago, I was born in Talca but I live in Santiago more than one year ago. The capital of Chile is a very particular city into the country, because there are more than 5 millions of people, there are many things to do and many places to visit. When I arrived to this city I visited some places very interesting for example the “Cerro Santa Lucia”, Barrio Bellavista, “La Moneda”, “el Zoologico” and “Biblioteca Nacional”.
First, “el Cerro Santa Lucia” is a typical image of postcard from Santiago, it’s a beautiful hill where we can go to walk, to go up stairways and to know Indian craft of aboriginal people from Chile, because in this place there is a shop with their creations.
Second, “el Barrio Bellavista” is a perfect place to meet with friends, to eat, to drink and to be happy. Although there is a problem, sometimes this street is dangerous. But generally is a very good place to make parties.
Third, “la Moneda” is the house of government. The president works in this place with his ministers (when he is works and don’t making show). This building is very old and beautiful; here were important people of Chile’s history.
Fourth, “el zoololgico”, is the principal zoo from Chile. This place is very funny for kids and adults, because here there are many typical animals of the country and animals of others countries. Also there are a lot of birds, for example eagles and Flemish.
Fifth, the last place that I’ll recommend is “La Biblioteca Nacional”, it is a building very old, but it is beautiful and interesting, there are many books.

finally i want to say that santiago is very expensive city, so I can't to talk about all thier interesting places, but I can to tell about some very typycal and beatiful places.

My previous semester:

Well, this year has been very special for all us. I started my semester a month later than other years, because of earthquake in February. After all the initial problems, I can say that the first semester of 2010 was very good for me, at the university, at my house; in general my life was very good. Subjects were interesting and my grades were successful. Actually, this first semester wasn’t very entertaining, although I had good moments, for example some parties or some meetings with my friends.
The last semester I was in a “CFG”, they are courses of general formation given for the university and all its students must do them. Specifically, the “CFG” which I chose was called “Estado y Política en el siglo XXI”, this course was interesting and I think that this courses are useful in professional formation and not only in a particular career, but in integral formation in all career of Universidad de Chile.
In relation to the English course, last semester I did the third pre-intermediate level, and I must say it was a good experience, I think I learned a lot.
Finally I want to say that last semester was a little strange in the beginning but then it got better than before and I could enjoy it. Now I hope that this new semester is much better for us all.

Goodbye!
