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.

The Beatles

Hello everyone!

Today I like to share a photo with you. This photo was taken in the Madame Tussauds Berlin museum in February 2010, when I was 16 years old. Madame Tussauds is a wax museum; it display historical and royal figures, film stars, sport stars, etc. When in my school trip we visited Berlin, my classmates discovered this museum when they went for a walk and begged the teachers go. I think that visit was very funny, I run down the battery of my camera at halfway so the rest of the photos were taken by my best friend. This is one of them, my best friend took that photo and it shows The Beatles and me :D (I have another photo with The Beatles but is out of focus) I have to say that they don’t look like the originals; I mean is very evident that they are waxworks. Nevertheless, other famous artist are identical than the original, for example Robbie Williams, Albert Einstein, Michael Jackson and the most identical, Nicole Kidman! I like this photo because it brings me good memories. I had a great time at the walk to the museum; I like all the photographs from there, but especially this because I like the colors, the instruments and the carefree attitude that they have.

Hey everyone!


Today we have to write a free post, so I'm going to talk about my home town.
I was born in one of the further south city, Punta Arenas. It’s a very beautiful place to live, but most people think that it’s awful because the weather is a little frozen. In my opinion the weather is not a problem, maybe because I’m used to live with a snowy winter. Besides the fact that we have heating.

In other aspect, Punta Arenas is one of the tourist destinations most visit in the country. In the region, you can find many places of touristic interest, for example “Torres del Paine”, that place is the most famous and visit. Many people go there and they went camping or trekking. Also you can find diverse flora and fauna, pumas are characteristic of the area. Another place I found very interesting and beautiful it’s called “Pingüineras” and as his names say, a lot of penguins lives there, except in winter, when they goes to the Antarctic.

The city has many places to go all over; in “Zona Franca” you can find a lot of cheap objects! And in “Costanera” you can go to see the sunrise in the sea, or just for a walk.

Ambitions

Today I like to talk about an ambition I have. I really would like to travel different countries. I think it’s very interesting the diversity of people that you can find throughout the world; different histories, cultures and buildings makes each city unique. This dream began when I went in a German school and then in 2010, with my classmates, we went on school trip to Germany… it was the most amazing trip of my life! Knowing other customs makes me think that there are many others in different places. Also, many exchange students came when I was in school and they told us what their lives were in town with their families. In those moments, I realize that they had other realities. If I could fulfill my ambition to travel many countries, still don’t know how many exactly, I would a more educated person, supplementing my career besides having several points of view. Until now the next destination that I would like is England, in order to learn to speak English fluently… well, and write too.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

I'd like to begin my blog with a book I recommend. The Swedish author named Stieg Larsson write a book in 2005 titled The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (personally, I don't like the English name, I prefer the literally translation Men who hate women). I read and discovered it in 2010 because my aunt recommends it to my grandmother in a dinner. It tells the story of a crime who involves an entire family and a journalist and a freelance surveillance agent who investigate the case. I really like it because it’s full of mystery and the characters are unique. This book is the first part of a trilogy called Millennium series, the other two books are The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets’ Nest (books I recommend too). I also see and like the film adaptation in 2011, but I’m still thinking that reading the book is a million times better.
