Hot-dogs. Juggling. And good Chilean Rock!

Do you want to spend a good day in Santiago? Wanna know some non-tipical things to do in this city? You don’t have a lot of money? I would give you some tips to have a great day in Santiago mixing some culture with good and cheap food!

First of all you have to know how to get to the places that i’m going to explain. For me the fastest and easy way to get to them is by metro. Go to the green line of the metro this is the “línea 5”. Go to “plaza de armas” metro estation here is our first stop: Portal Fernandez Concha. In this place you can buy some delicious and cheap food. The speciality in this place are the hot-dogs “italianos”. You can buy them in a combo that contain the hot-dog, some french fries and a soda. It is a very delicious and cheap lunch.

After you have lunch is time to do something special in this grey city. You can take the metro again to “Bellas artes” station or you can walk to do some excercise after thehigh calorie hot-dogs. The place is “Parque Forestal”. Whats the especial thing of this place? If you are in Santiago on the weekend you can see the jugglers that practice here. It is a very beautiful spectacle to see a lot of artists united making their arts.



After this beautiful afternoon is time to finish the day with some good chilean rock! Go to metro “Baquedano” and walk to “bellavista” here you can find places like “Sala SCD” or “Bar purísima” where chilean bands of garaje rock like Guiso or Ramires play frequently. It is an excellent way to finish a good day in Santiago! With some good rock and roll!

England

The country that I would like to go is England. Why this country? That makes this country a place that I would love to visit are a lot of things that have a strong connection with some of my hobbies.

England is famous for its monuments, castles, and many historical/military things. But I don’t feel very interested in that part of the well-famous England. They are the most common reasons for people to visit this country.

How I said at the beginning of this topic. I like England for specific things that are very connected with my hobbies. The main reason for me is the British music. My favorite band is from England… THE BEST HARD ROCK BAND EVER: DEEP PURPLE. Ian Gillan on lead vocals, Jon Lord on keyboard, Ian Paice on Drums, Ritchie Blackmore on guitar(for me the best guitar player of the world) and Roger Glover on bass guitar.



I play guitar on some bands: “Chili Bomb”, “Pikin” and “El Parche Curita de Rock” so music is one my favorite hobbies. And British music influences me and my band mates a lot. For me specially the music of Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple. So in England I would like to buy some records of Deep Purple and other British music. Like the gods of blues and rock&roll called Ten Years After. I would love to buy a guitar or some good amplifier of the best brands in the world that are in England.

The good music and guitar gear… They are my main reasons to visit England the country of the very best of Rock and Roll.

Hola hoola

Hi there! This is my first blog of the semester and I’d like to talk about my experiences during the first term of 2010. First of all I want to talk about some interesting things I learn last semester. I’d like to talk about some subjects that were very interesting. Psychopathology was a very good way to notice what i DON’T wanna be as a psychologist jaja. Because they don’t see at the people as they are… PEOPLE. They look at them as objects. Like a scientist look at a mouse.

Some other activities that I do last semester was learn a lot of circus arts. I learn a lot of juggling. Some chinese poles acrobatics. A Little things about clown and very important things about group work at the circus.

In the sport area I practice soccer. I play it some Fridays with my best friends. After class we meet at the “Calama” field and play some soccer.

As a challenge I would like to improve my circus skills. Learn more about jugglin’ I mean new tircks and some passes with friends. And I would like to learn more about psychology to be more critic about my discipline.

Here is a video of Vova Galchenko… For me the best juggler in the world.
