My best holiday

My best holiday was at 2001 in the region of maule, Linares in the place of the foothills of the called Vega de Sala.

The sector is owned by my family, is 20 hectares, inherited from my grandparents, it's are just fields, river and mountains. I recently wanted to divide the land but luckily they held together.

We have not built a house in the sector, so we had to sleep in tents, it was not very comfortable but no matter because I enjoyed it.

I was with all my family, we did activities such as swimming in the river, ride horses, climb the hill, also we visited a mine silver and gold.

We were one month in the sector, I which amused me most were the horse races that I had with my cousins, and long hours in a place that acumulated water from the river, and we could swim at ease with my cousins

With my dad, uncles and cousins ​​went to hunt rabbits, was sad, but we take for lunch the next day, what more lunch was corn and potatoes  because we have a small plantation in the sector.

Latin American Stereotypes

The image shows the South American continent stereotyped, as EE.UU. sees Latin America.

Stereotypes in Latin America are many, now makes a list by country of the first to come to mind

Argentina: conceited, meat and roasts, Maradona is the god, hate to Brazil
Brazil: Women beautiful beaches with people playing soccer, Pele is the god, hate to Argentina
Peru: Incas, brown people, speaks good Spanish, hate Chile
Bolivia: No Sea, economic and political problems, hate to Chile
Mexico: Hats large, Tequila, mustaches, and they love to hate U.S.
Chile: beautiful cities, vast territory and small population, inequality, talk too fast, hate the Peruvian and Bolivian
Venezuela: Hugo Chavez, Communist, Oil, Hates U.S.
Colombia: Drugs, violence, the Medellin Cartel.
Uruguay: Argentina small
Paraguay: Catholic people
Cuba: Fidel, communists all, very old cars
Haiti: poverty, African culture

Stereotypes in chile there are many, as it is generalized to the community especially the youth with the same trends. Some examples of stereotypes in young Chileans are: Flytes, rappers, Emo, Pelolais.
This is not correct for my, but it happens a lot these days, stereotypes are useless, because entire communities grouped arbitrarily.

Favourite Beach

Bahia Inglesa, Chile

El Quisco, Chile

The beach that I like is called Bahia Inglesa and is in the north of Chile, I went as a child, was 12 years old, I liked it because the sand is white, the sea is clear and clean, like few beaches in the country.

The beach that  will more visite has been  the Quisco, the last 5 or 6 years I have visited 1 week or 2 weeks in the summer, is not as pretty as Bahia Inglesa but it is much cheaper and it is close to Santiago.

I would like to revisit Bahia Inglesa, have already spent over 10 years that I was, I'd go now with my girlfriend for her to also see the beautiful beach.

At the Quisco I've gone several times with my girlfriend, she loves the beach so we had a great time during the day going to the beach to swim and sunbathe, at night we went down to downtown, because which are always placed rides artesanales and games,also is very pleasant to walk at night in the summer is an excellent climate. 
Also I have never had security problems on the Quisco beach everything is very quiet and hard to see problems of offenders or street fights, but just in recent years have seen people more problematic at night.

The first CD I bought

The first CD I bought was a present for my father for his birthday, this was in February 2001, still has the CD and so hear it a lot.
The album was purchased in the market Biobío, take me long to find it, its title was Neil Diamond Hot August Night, were two compact discs so its price at that time was expensive.

I personally am not a fan of Neil Diamond, but I listened to many songs on the CDs with my father and if I liked some songs like:

- Solitary Man

- Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon

- Stones

- Cracklin 'Rosie

- Holly Holy

I've never purchaser a CD for me, seems very strange but is true, when I was younger I not liked the music,  in the last 3 or 4 years, I like it better the music and I buy my first a compact disc.

I think in the coming years the industry the CDs going to die, because as technology advances will be better  create a system for storing music on a more permanent and higher quality memory cards in recent years come in many devices playing music, maybe this is what replaces the CD, not yet known, but time will tell.

Correction of post's Valentina

I think that studying geography we have had many interesting  field trips, but my favorite fiel trip It wasnt for the University, it was in "Caleta Tortel", studing the river Baker.
3 years ago on vacations  I went to Coyhaique, specifically to "Caleta Tortel" because my sister  was working in a fondecyt project of investigation to the river baker, and she needed an assistant.
The investigation was on the benthic area of the river, and the species that they were living.
The team of work it was compound for 2 marine biologist, a chemistry of laboratory, a technician of navigation and me.
For 10 days we were waking up every day at 6:30 and we were going out in boat to taking samples with technological equipments. I was a small boat Because of it we had to to be organized well in the labors.
Then We were returning to the 13.00 to have lunch, and after it we were analyzing the samples old day.
I learned very much about the discipline, the teamwork and about the river baker.
And it was very interesting to understand something of the local geography
Undoubtedly I would like to return to take part of a trip study like that.

Bye!

A Field Trip

View of Santiago from Cerro Manquehue

One of my best field trips was the one who made ​​the subject of biogeography, was in the third year of university.
Went to the hill Manquehue It was especially fun because we got to know field names and the different characteristics of the species that exist there.
I really liked it at first was not very motivated, but over time the teacher explained everything very clearly and motivated me a lot. 

It has a "sclerophyllous forest type". There are trees as a Peumo, Quillay, Litre, Bollén, Chequén y Maitén. There are few shrubs such as guayacán. In the field trip we know most of these species mentioned above, its features and how to recognize them easily, scientific names, and why they thrive in this sector.
The sector of Cerro Manquehue (1.600m) includes other minor peaks, but they offer a pleasant adventure a few hours, as is the Manquehuito (1.300 m) to the east and Mount Carbon (1.350m) to the west. The Cerro San Cristobal and Santa Lucia, true urban parks, are the western tip of this cord.
In the field tripwe did not get to the top of the hill, although many of my classmates if they wanted to reach the top, but as far as we move was enough to know the species that interested us.

MSN and Forum: Social Network Tools

For me the best tools on the internet and also the most use are: MSN and discussion forums.
I use msn to contact my friends and talk about different things, also to know of my family who are far away.
Also I used to work with my university friends, when we have no time to get together to do group work.

The other tool I mentioned are Internet discussion forums, post them I realize my opinion on any topic, and also reviewed the opinions of others. It is very fun to discuss different viewpoints and defend each of the positions.

The frequency of daily use those tools, reviewed many times a day, when I'm in college and when I got home, I review the new views of other users. 

The I started to use MSN 8 or 9 years ago do not really know, the discussion forums started wearing two years ago, and are of different topics as the actuality of Chilean politics, sports and video games online. 

It's fun in the forums to see how some people agree on some issues and is more fun when you do not have the same view, read and analyze the arguments of the person who has another point of view, for better discussion.
