River Mapocho

I think about the Rivr Mapocho es a very bad face of Santiago, but I belive in a few variable of change.

* River Mapocho navigable: I don't like the idea.

First it is necessary to avoid the urban renainders in the causes, soon to create green areas in its sorroundings, is the best solution than it is happened to me, because the regimen of the river is very complicated and the other solution are very expensive.

Field Trip to Caldera

Hello everybody, I too tired, the last week I have a Field Trip to Caldera a little and beautiful place. I was to Caldera with the class of Professor Maria Victoria, the objective of de Field Trip is to obtain a analysis of all the factors of the city, like the economy, infrastructure, people and politics. In this trip I know for first time the north of the country and your landscapes, personally it’s not of my pleasure, but crossing the port and see people like the fisherman and all the people that they live in this place and the love that feels by, I can see the wonderful on the please for me not the physic attractive in opposite the people and the they activities, sometimes I imagine to be in other time, in very old time, is wonderful like in the next picture.

Other important think is the union of de people for to care your landscapes and animals against the installation of thermoelectric avoiding too contamination for particles burned the coal, killing little by little the air, the sea, the animals, plants and the people.

Care de environment is very important this in our hands against the destruction of the animals and resources, don’t they contaminated our world this is the unique for our live and they have to follow live.

A very Good Lamb

This photo was taken in Summer of 2008 in Futaleufu, I, my brother and two cousins eating Lamb with a good wine. I remenber this travel it brings back memories good moments in the nature. This Lamb we share with a village and fisherman was a very funny experiences speak abouth diferents things and can see the diferents forms to see the life. Also own can see like the fire,the food and the glass of wine link the people without that it matters the education, the money, the job, nothing this moments not repeat always. I hope that this moments they continue happening because they feel my soul of joy and my stomach the exquisite food. I recommnded teast the lamb with your friens and loved people but not forget the glass of wine, red wine.

see you the next week, good luck in your class and jobs.

My Favourite place in Chile

I´m almost three favourite place in Chile:

• The First is " All Sanit Lake" Located in the mountains between trhee volcano "The Tronador, The Osorno and The Puntiagudo" surrounded the native forest, in this place there aren´t any turist. I´m visit this place it was in the summer of the 2006 with a friends, we crossed the south of the country, but this place is my favourite also it was my first travel hitch-hiking.

• The second place is " Spas of Plomo and The Yeso Lake" this place is fantastic, located a three hours of Santiago in The Yeso Valley is a lake and natural spa don´t have basic services, there aren´t any turist is difficult access is recommended vehicles four truck because is necesary to cross a river. This place is especial because is a site of encounter with my friends, I visit this place 4 a 5 times a year.

• The Third Place and the most important is "The Elqui Valley" I vist this place in the summer of this years with my girlfriend it was the most beatifull experience because this place is magic with your colours and amazing and clean sky also the company one person so importat for me it does this experience is very better. Also this place have different attractive like cavalcades in the mountains that I recommneded 100% is very beutifull and romantic because top connect wirth the nature and full the pace you mint.

My Favourite English song of the moment

The best song in English for me in this moment is "I Don´t Wanna Be" by Gavin DeGraw. DeGraw is bornig in February 4, 1977. Is an American singer - songwriter and musician. He paying the piano and guitar. He is most probably know for the this song, because in the 2003 which is featured as the theme song for the TV drama "One Tree Hill". I personally heard it the first time on the TV program and I liked it a lot. Nevertheless, I can't stop playing this song.

The Lyrics is the most important for me, because is the thinking of all my life "I don't want to be anything other than me" I think the most important thing is be yourself and fight for your convictions and don´t treat other person badly.

I hope listend the song and read the lyrics and your traslate. Lisent to the other song of this singer.

See you the next week.

I Don't Want to Be
I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than the birth of two souls in one
Part of where I'm going, is knowing where I'm coming from

[Chorus:]
I don't want to be
Anything other than what I've been trying to be lately
All I have to do
Is think of me and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've got to do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't want to be anything other than me

I'm surrounded by liars everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis everywhere I turn
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned!

[Chorus]

Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that, you're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation-made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody

[Chorus]

I don't want to be [x4]

No Quiero Ser

No necesito ser nada más que
el hijo de un guardia de prisión
No necesito ser nada más que
el hijo de una especialista
No tengo que ser nadie más que
el nacimiento de dos almas en una
Parte de a donde voy
es de donde vengo

(CORO)
No quiero ser
Nada más que lo que he estado
tratando de ser ultimamente
Todo lo que tengo que hacer
es pensar en mi y tener paz en mi
consciencia
Estoy cansado de buscar alrededor cuartos
Preguntándome qué debo hacer
O quién se supone que debo ser
No quiero ser nada más que yo.

Estoy rodeado de mentirosos, a donde quiera que voltee
Estoy rodeado de impostores, a donde quiera que voltee
Estoy rodeado de crisis de identidad, a donde quiera que voltee
Soy el único que lo notó?
No puedo ser el único que ha aprendido!

(CORO)

Puedo tener la atención de todos, por favor?
Si no eres así o así...
Te tendrás que ir
Vine de la montaña
El límite de la creación
Toda mi situación-hecha de cemento a piedra
Y ahora le diré a todos

(CORO)

Yo no quiero ser (x4)
