Industrial Design


Hello everyone!


When I was young I considered many careers. First I wanted to be a doctor, but I realized that I was terrified of syringes, needles and blood. Then I wanted to be an architect because my dad is one, but I spent so much time in his office so I bored about architecture. Among the careers I wanted to study are:  veterinary, law, mathematics teacher, mathematical science and I don’t remember which more.
Before going in university, architecture returned to get my attention and I was hesitating between studying design or architecture. My mother wanted me to study the same as my dad, but he supported me and watching my skills realized that design was best for me. Now I'm studying industrial design and I realize that relates a bit with the first career I had chosen, because I can help people, not in the health area but solving problematic that happens every day.

London Eye



Hello everyone!


Today I would like to tell you about a place of London. The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel; it is situated on the South Bank of the river Thames, opposite the houses of parliament. By tube, Waterloo is the closest station and a guided tour ticket cost £21.51 online.
In the London Eye you can learn about the famous sights of London; I think it's necessary to go to this place if you ever go to London.
I would love to go there because it’s a global view of London. It shows the city essence and a beautiful landscape. I would like to go on day and night; I think the views of the city will be very different with and without light.

Blue Man Group



Hey everyone!
Today we have to talk about a concert or exhibition. I’ve never been in a concert; no one goes to Punta Arenas!! I think that going to see Blue Man Group was close as a concert. The show was in the Stage Bluemax Theater in Berlin, when I was in my school trip, in February 2010. When my classmates and I saw a tourist guide of the city, we realized that Blue Man Group was like an attraction, so we decided to go. We were about one hour in line to buy the tickets! We were frozen because part of the line was out the building.
I loved the show; it was very very funny because Blue Man Group makes humorous routine. I liked the music as well as the lights and colors (they use paint, foam, color laser and percussion.)
At the end, when I was living the place, the players went to take some photos. I was lucky, one of them take a photo with me. When we were watching the show, we were not allowed to take photos, but searching in internet, especially YouTube, I realized that there are some videos that are part of the same routine that I saw. It’s a little long but here is the video! Enjoy it.

Playa Grande



Hello everyone
Today I’m going to talk about a beach from Chile. My favorite beach is located in Pucón and it called Playa Grande. When I was young I went every summer with my family and we stayed in Gran Hotel Pucon, placed in front of the beach. I think the last time I went was in 2009 but by this time my brother was in Viña del Mar with his friends.
In Playa Grande there are many things to do. In this beach we can find the dock and also you can rent sailboard, wind surf, jet skis and kayaks. When I was 9 years old I rent a kayak with my father, he was teaching me how to row when a guy passed very fast on his jet ski very close to us. I was really scared and started to cry because the kayak shook with the waves caused by the Jet Ski.
One of the things I like about this beach is that it has fresh water because it is a lake (Lago Villarrica). Another thing I like is the sand, it has coarse sand and gray color, as it has volcanic origin. Finally, I love the landscape, not arid as the other beaches. Everything is surrounded by trees and colors, plus I can see that there is land on the other side of the beach.
