Hi everyone! today I'm going to talk about a picture that I like very much. I took it on Valdivia, on a trip that I made with my friends. We went to Argentina first and then we decided to visit this beautiful city located on the south of Chile. It was my first time on Valdivia and I'd like it a lot, instead we arrived one day before the "valdivian night", so we missed all the "valdivian week". There you could breath clean air. We slept two nights on a camping where we could see great landscapes, but then we decided to move to the city.
The photo shows an organ grinder, best knowned as "organillero", a chilean character wich plays music next to a parrot and sells stuff for children. It reminds me my childhood. Nowdays it's more difficult to find one than ten years ago. I remember that I loved them and I always bought whatever they were selling. They rock.

Well that's all for now.. see you on another post

My career

My dear english class:
Today I'm going to talk about my career. I'm studying Anthropology since march of this year. I decided to study this career because I wanted to help people. I think there're many things to do on the world and if we work hard we can make many people happier. I'm very interested on education, and I would like to learn more about it, but first I want to learn about human beings and understand them. I hope that at the end of the career I'll be a very cultivated person, so I'll be able to work on proyects that will make better our society. That's my dream. I want to be useful for the Earth, and do my best for people. I want to help my country to grow, because we don't live alone and I think we're all responsables of the things that happen. Maybe we don't provocate them, but we have the option of making them better.
My favourite subjet it's latinoamerican history. We have to read a lot, but the teacher it's very inteligent and the book very interesting.
On the future I want to work on a magazine or something related with visual Anthropology, a subfield of cultural anthropology that is concerned, in part, with the study and production of ethnographic photography, film and new media, wich contributes to society. That's my north.

My favourite web site (talking about studies)

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to write about a web site that I visit a lot. I'm talking about FACSO's site, the place on the web where I can find all the information that I need about my career. I only visit the anthropology section. The link of this web site is http://www.facso.uchile.cl/antropologia/index.html.
I found this site one day looking on google for information about anthropology on University of Chile, before I wanted to study that career. It was very easy to found it, I just asked for web sites related with the words "antropología universidad de chile" and it appeared on the first page of google results.
I visit this site every week, and I like it because there I can find all the papers and texts that I have to read for my classes, so I don't need to waste my time looking for them on the web. It's a great site. I can see too, on the main site, the last news related with the university. It's cool.
Well, that's all for know. See you on my next post!

My favourite piece of technology


My favourite piece of technology is my refrigerator.Since I was born, there was one in my house.Last year we gave our old refrigerator to my grandmother and we bought a better one, wich is bigger than the old one and can do ice :D. It's cool. I use it for saving food. Every day, I go to my kitchen and I look for something to eat. My refrigerator always has something for me. I like it because it saves my food and eating makes me happy. If I hadn't a refrigerator I couldn't eat things like ice-cream or meat from one day to another, because they wouldn't be on good conditions. My refrigerator lets me enjoy dessert because he can saves and take care of them for months. I love my refrigerator, and if I hadn't one, I would suffer a lot. My life would be a nightmare, because I love food, and the worst thing you could ever do to me is get rid of a great dessert because it has gone stale. My refrigerator is my happyness.
