In this blog I have to write about Santiago, the city where I was born and in which I have lived all my life. Despite the contamination of the capital of Chile, the smog and the polluted air, Santiago is a beautifull city, we have to use our time to know the impressive places and landscapes.
A place that I definitely recommend to visit is " El Santuario de la Naturaleza". It´s located in Los Andes mountain range, near the sky centers. The road to get there is a little danger becouse of the curves of the street, but it´s worth it. It´s a place in which the human intervention is minimal, the snowmelt runs in the slopes of the mountains forming little gaps of very cold water.
You can make a three days walk to get to a glacier, you have to go with tent and provisions.
Another place that I recommend to visit is The San Cristobal Mountain, the highest point of the city after the Renca mountain. You can get to the top in a cablecar, but I think that it´s not recomended to peolple with vertigo. Also, in this mountain is the Metropolitan zoo and two pools, calls Tupahue and Antilén.
If you want to know where our president governs, you have to go to La Moneda, in the center of Santiago. In the North is the " Constitution square" and in the South the "Citizenship square", also, inside "La Moneda" is "El patio de los naranjos", with beatiful orange trees.
If you want to go dancing or to a pub, I recommendo you " the Bellavista neighborhood", there you can find a lot of pubs, clubs and restorants for all tastes.
If you are a lover of theater,ballet and classic music, the place for you it´s the " Teatro Municipal" a beautifull building built in 1857.
I hope you visit Santiago soon!

The Transantiago system is definitely a theme very commented and criticized between the people of Santiago.
To compare the old with the new transportation we must take into account a few points, one of these is the cost. In this days, if you don´t have an student pass, you have to pay a big ammount of money in compare with the old system, but a good thing in this point is that the way of paying now is a lot easier and requires less time. You have to use a BIP! card charged with money instead of pay to the driver with coins.
Becouse of these the delinquency has decreased, the offenders has no longer money to steal, and also the passengers can travel calmer.
A bad thing is that the cover of the buses is very limited, and most of the time I have to take more than one bus to reach my destination, for example, to get from the university to my house I have to take two buses and the subway, sometimes this take me like one hour and a half.
But I can´t say that my experience is bad, I didn´t use a lot the old transport system, so now I´m very used to the new one.
Have been many campaigns to improve this system, some of theme have worked and some do not. I think that an important thing that we can do is to be tolerant and patient, and complain only when is necessary, the authorities also have to do their part, they have to take into account our needs and make more campaigns to keep improving Transantiago.

Hello!!, first of all sorry for my absence last Friday, I was in Santa Cruz, a city a few ours from Santiago. Today, after a long time, I´m back to talk about travelling and places that I will like to visit some day.

I have traveled only to Argentina, to Mendoza specifically, and to the North and South of Chile, so I can say that I don´t know almost anything of our huge world.

A country that I really want to visit, hopefully soon, is Italy. My grandfather was born in the South of this beautifull country, and all my uncles including my father speak italian. Also, a brother of my grandfather still lives there.

A few years ago mi father did the necessary paperwork to acquire the italian nationality for me and all my brothers, so naw I can say that I´m chilean and also italian, I can live ther if I want, the only problem is the money, it´s very expensive to travel there.

I really like the culture of Italy, is a country where art has a big value, great painters, sculptors,musicians,had born there. The architectures is beautifull, and the food is delicius, I´m a big fan of pasta and all its variations.

If I go there, I will visit museums, the places where my grandfather grew, I will eat a lot of pasta and pizza, and if it´s possible I will like to go to the stadium to see good quality football. I also will like to visit my frandfather´s brother, and maybe I could stay in his house some days.

If I go soon I will like to finish my studies there, in some University, or maybe go to do a master or a post graduate course, and maybe, how knows, I could stay there to live.

My blogging experience

Every Friday, after my theater class I have to go to the computer room of the university to make a new blog for my english class, each day about a different topic. As you probably have noticed if you are reading this, I have had to write about my ideal job, my university, my career, my future, my self, etc. And trough this make known my tastes, my life, my family and many aspects about me and my life.
My favourit tipic on wich I had to write, was about the picture we have to describe, becouse it shows a realy important and different aspect in my life that many people don´t know.
Today, I have to write my last blog, I have to talk about my blogging experenience.
At this hour, on Fridays, the truth is that I´m very tired form a log week of study, tests, getting up early, and very little sleep. I´m not very lucid to write things that requires a lot of concentration and dedication. Also, the time for endindg the writing is very reduced, and most of the time I have to make it very hurry to leave on time.
But not everithing about blogs is negative, I can´t deny that with my bloggin experience, my knoledge of english, especialy my writing have imporved considerably, my vocabulary has been expanded, and now I can write more fluent.
Also, the atmosphere between the students and the teacher is very nice, and I realy enjoy it, I had the opportunity to know new people, great people I have to say.
As conclusion, I can say that the disadventages of blogging in the Englis class, as I sayed before, are the schedule and the time, and the adventages, all the improvement in my english knoledge and the atmosphere of work.
Now, it´s time to say goodbye!..

Ken Robinson in his talk raises the idea that at the present time the schools are killing creativity in their students.

He founded this idea by saying that education given in schools tend to develop only certain areas in the students, like languaje, history, science and mathematics, and that other areas like music, arts or dance are neglected. Clearly this is a problem, acording to Robinson the intelligence has three features: is diverse, dynamic and distinctive, this means that each person in particular has a particular type of intelligence and that there is no intelligence more important than the other.

People tends to stigmatises these more humanistic areas, and do not let the students develop this skills, prohibited form doing what they want.

Also an other factor is that schools do not give room for mistakes, and show them like the worst thing in the world; this is why children are afraid of making mistakes. Robinson says that if you aren´t prepared to fail, you wouldn´t be an original person, with identity.

We have a mision, we must be aware of all these aspect of education and make something better, we have to promote human imagination and not let education kill them.

I´m studying Obstetrics, so when I finish university I want to be dedicated on one of the specialties in my area, I´m not going to study five long years in one of the most difficult univerities of Chile, and meaby in the world, for anything.

I realy like the issue of health and to treat with people, to be helpful and useful and have all the instruments and facilities to even save a life, I think that is one of the most rewarding things in the world.


I will like to work far away from Santiago, like I sayed in the previous blog, maybe in Chiloè and travel island by aisland attending future mothers and all the people who need my services. An other option is to work in Santiago, mi brother moved recently to that city, so I wouldn´t be so alone.If I have the possibility to work in a different country I wouldnt think twice. I think it´s very interesting to know different cultures and to larn from other people different from you.


I don´t think it will be difficult to find this job in the future, when I finish my years at university I´m sure that I will be prepared to be a great midwife, for this I have to continue being a studious and responsible person, and develop myself in different areas, also I have to be prepared to treat with all kind of people, so I will need to be a very patient and tolerant woman

This is my fifth month at university, I´m just starting my years here, so I have not had the possibility to know many subjects.

Until now, my favourite is embriology, it´s the most recent unit of one of the most important subjects this semester.

The course is divided into several groups and each one has a professor in charge. Personally I have to teachers. On Monday is Marcela Fuenzalida and on Thursday Mariana Rojas, she next to Miguel Concha are the teachers in charge of the subject.

I like it becouse is directly related with my career and my future as a professional, it´s very interesting to know and see how the baby develops inside the womb of the mother, we all went through the same prosseses, so it´s very important for all of us to know how we become people that we are now.

This semester I have learnt many thigs related with the babies, like the stages of development, the growth process and the heart, face and the limbs development
