My Neightbourhood

The name of my neighborhood is Villa Las Dalias; this place is located in La Granja district, near Santa Rosa Avenue in Santiago South.

Is a sector of house the 2 floor, for Santa Rosa Avenue there are many service, drugstore, baker´s, bank, restaurants (Chinese Food, Fast-food, Italian Food), veterinary medic, supermarket, butcher's shop, emergency health center and centers pays.

In my personal opinion, my neighborhood is a sector quiet and friendly, but sometimes there are some troubles. No problems of contamination and pollution. A relation with neighbors is normal, live there for 15 years, I know most of my neighbors.

The transportation is good for Santa Rosa Avenue, since my house until university took me 40 or 50 minutes, for me is nice despite the great distance. The bus, taxi and collective taxi spend every minute, 5 minutes walk from my house there are Subway Metro Santa Rosa.

Student movement 2011

I think the issue of education in Chile is very important, the movement of secundary and university students is a necessity for than the current authorities have to do something.

Some believe it called for improvements in education is as childish as asking for a happier world, maybe if you're right, but we as a generation we have to require education in Chile improve.

Education in Chile today is wrong, as that its purpose is to generate money. I for example, I have a millionaire debt to the state, because I study with state credit,  I have to pay this debt, for many years, when either professional. (by 10 or 20 or 30 years)

Chile is the second most unequal in the world education, Chile has the sixth highest tariffs in the world, compared to purchasing power parity-and worst system of grants to the other 5, with no world-class university, unlike the other 5. This data is sad, but all are real.

In my case I do not think that free higher education is the solution, buts I do think you have to subsidize more students in traditional universities.

I personally do not participate direct in the activities strike or sit-in, but if I agree with the purpose intended.

Slam Dunk is my favorite animated series, has a very good story, it is very motivating and entertaining, this series, I started to like basketball, also shows that with effort you can achieve many things, is also a very funny series. In some chapters only laughed at the follies of the protagonis.
Slam Dunk tells the story of evolution as a basketball player and a person of its protagonist, Sakuragi Hanamichi, a 15 year old, troublesome and quarrelsome with an impressive record of rejections love behind them.
The only downside to this series is was not made ​​the final, I could only see the end of the manga, but never did these chapters as animation.
 
I know very few people of my generation who do not know this animation. This series has a very good fictional plot, this series is very long, one of the longest I've ever seen.
Dragon Ball - 153 episodes
Dragon Ball Z - 291 episodes
Dragon Ball BG - 64 episodes

Free Post: My favorite TV series

I love the TV series, and one of my favorites is Malcolm in the middle, is a bit old but it makes me laugh a lot when I see it. 

The show is about a boy named Malcolm and his dysfunctional family. In the show Malcolm is the third of four boys, his brothers and their parents, Lois and Hal.
The son oldest, Francis, was sent away to military school, leaving at home his three younger brothers, Reese, Malcolm and Dewey.
Malcolm being the middle child still at home . In season four, the character Jamie was added to the show as the fifth son.
The show's early seasons centered on Malcolm dealing with the rigors of being an adolescent and enduring the eccentricities of his life. 

One of the funniest characters in the series for me is the fourth brother (Dewey) is the younger brother. His role is usually that of the victim to his brothers. Dewey is very intelligent, even being able to fool and manipulate Malcolm in later episodes.
Despite his intelligence, he is placed in a remedial class for slower students due to a misunderstanding, him for being so clever even manipulates his teacher.

Reese also is funny because it is very stupid and never understands the Malcon plans.
Malcon the main character in the series is very intelligent and always have plan all, the chapters that made ​​me laugh most was where his plans went against him.
The parents of this family are very special, Lois is a neurotic mother and sometimes crazy, think a lot in strange punishment to keep their children in order.
Hal's this father is softer with their children, they always try to take advantage of his, although in some chapters also show how smart he is.


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.
