I wish...

For some time I have wanted to have a garden at home, but for various reasons I have not been able to make. The main reason why I want to have the garden, is the poor quality of food offered by the market today, where you just have food contaminated by pesticides and other inputs used in the industry agronomy. In addition to the garden give me a healthy diet, it can give me herbs that will serve as medicine for diseases. I would also put flowers in the garden, I love them, I am filled with happiness just to see them and smell them. And obviously would give a place a flower, that in my opinion, is the most beautiful and the most I like: marijuana.

I have already started with the construction of the garden (which I want to do with disposable materials and organic), so far I have planted marijuana and I've gotten some organic seeds of different species, so I'm on track !!

A Restaurant

Good morning friends !!

This morning I am going to write about a little peruvian restaurant (sp) what I like to go. In this moment I have really hungry and remember the restauratn mke (sp) my stomach sound (wf). Well, the restaurat is called "El Puroperú", his owners are peruvians and many of the workers also are preuvians. This restauran be (t) on Av. Macul between Los Platanos and Quilin, it is at two bloks of my hause (sp). I like this restaurant (sp)  because the food is very tasty, specially for the condiments; you can eat meat (calf, pig chicken (p)), fish or shellfish, also they have seviche, aji de gallina, the (p) plates are with rice and delicious sauces. To finish the lunch I like to eat dessert, specially Suspiro Limeño. The last time I went to Puroperú was the last weekend with my mother who invite to me (p). In others times I have been go with my grandmother when she (p) comes to Santiago to visit us, or also with my friend or my mother's friend or with a lot of family.
Also, in the restaurant (sp) put good music, traditional peruvian music or in some times music of another country. The decoration is too simple, just some painting or postal of Perú, I remember one of Macchu Picchu. I alway (sp) have been feel (t) confortable (sp) in that place.
The Puroperú restauratn ar (sp) twice (ww), and the other is located in the same Av Macul but toward the north on the intersection with Los Alerces. One time I went with my mother and cousin to the other local.

Con-Ga Sushi

Close to my house there is a new restaurant, that was opened last year, but I went for first time this year.Your name is Con-Ga Sushi, because this here next to "Conga", a place for dancing salsa. This is a restaurant of diferents food, like Japoanese food, pizzas and Chilean food, but away food that more I like, is ceviche. The restaurant is located in a parallel street to the west of my house, on Avda. Vicuña Mackena, I go there by bike and arrive in 5 minutes. The owner of restaurant is a young Chilean woman that live in the same building that live my brother, this are next to restaurant. One of things that more I like about this is that here they accept card Junaeb, this is a feeding grant provided by the state, which usually can only occupy in junk food restaurants, what I find is horrible, because they force you to eat poorly. For this I love this place, have rich and healthy food, it is near my house, is paid by the State through the grant and the people who attend are very friendly. Another thing that has going for it, is that they make deliveries, then when I'm too lazy to go out, I order by watsap and arrives at door of my house, what better! This restaurant I found it through the internet when with my boyfriend were looking where you could use the card Junaeb. We started going often enough, then I started going with my friends and sometimes when I'm home alone, I call home delivery and eat alone, watching a movie or documentary.

A Concert or Exhibition

Music is a fundamental element in my life, but I do not usually go to concerts, because my financial budget is limited. But this year I was one who loved me and it was worth paying for this. The concert was on April 30th this year and was called "Festival de la Cosecha", this was in "Matucana 100" (cultural center where concerts usually do). The name of the concert was because at that time usually marijuana is grown. In this festival there were several groups of music, different types: cumbia, hip-hop and punk: Banda Conmoción, Fiskales Ad Hok, Guachupé, Anarkia Tropikal, Chorizo Salvaje y Salvaje Decibel. This latter group play political hip-hop, is the that more I liked me and with more enjoyment, I wish they would have played longer. Cumbia groups equally much liked, because I could dance a lot. At this festival I went with my boyfriend, his brother, his girlfriend and Jochimin (a Frenchman friend who was exchange in geography), they are very good friends of mine, therefore, had super good, danced and laughed a lot. In the place I meet some acquaintance, another significant event and very regrettable was the fall of the vocalist of Los Fiskales, Alvaro España, he fell from the stage and was seriously injured, an ambulance arrived to take him emergency. Thanks to life, now he is in perfect condition and was only a scare. In conclusion, despite the fact that Alvaro España fell, this was a great concert and a beautiful moment of happiness with friends.

Field Trip

In this four years that I have been in Geography I have traveled to interesting places, but  one that i liked more than all, it is a travel to the glacier “Juncal Norte”. This is located at the height of country of Los Andes, but towards the mountains, near the border with Argentina, beyond of "Los Libertadores". This field trip I did thanks that subject “Introducción a la Glaciología” with the teacher Francisco Ferrando. The field trip lasted 3 days, the first day started from the FAU in the bus of the university, this left us a few of kilometers beyond “Los Libertadores”, from there we started walking towards the mountains for over six hours, was a treking very exhausting but with beautiful landscape, making the treking was very pleasant. We arrived at appropriate place to camp, here stayed the nigth, we made a fire and played cards while we drank vodka with ice taken from the mountain. This nigth that was falling stars, all our classmate had gone to sleep, but Pablo and I were watching us the cosmos. We met two boys who were camping there, together smoked a very rich marijuana and chatted about life, it was a very enjoyable time. The next day, very early, we start the trek to the glacier. We crossed a mighty river it was very entertaining to me. We walked about 3 hours, until we reached the glacier, it was majestic, the most beautiful thing I've seen. We walk on the glacier tongue with granpones, it was only ice and glacier water slides. I thank life for this trip and I recommend to all.

At the moment I am reading “El Despertar De Los Cuervos”, this is written by a Chilean journalist called Javier Rebolledo. He works investigating about the torture at the Pinochet dictatorship. The text focuses on what happened at Tejas Verdes, this was a torture center located in San Antonio. Here was created DINA; military secret organization devoted to the repression of opponents of the dictatorship. Within the text are the statements of surviving victims and soldiers who participated in these violations of human rights.

Since I was a teenager, I was interested to know more about what happened in dictatorship. I always read about the reasons that led the military coup, about intervention of the United States and the crimes that were committed. But it's the first time I read the statement of victims of the dictatorship. In these statements the victims tell in detail the atrocities committed in Tejas Verdes, details that have impacted me. In parts of the text I had to stop reading, so strong the events that occurred. I never imagined that man could have so much evil in his heart, I never thought that man could be capable of such atrocities.

One fact that stands out and that the last few days have made headlines is the participation of Cristian Labbé at Tejas Verdes. The former mayor of Providence was recognized by one of the victims on the text, this happened in a session of torture where the victim was rushed hood covering his face, then he saw Cristian Labbé, two soldiers, a doctor and a nurse. Currently, Cristian Labbé is being investigated for these crimes.

From the bottom of my heart I hope that all those who participated in these horrible violations of human rights pay for the damage caused. And if justice is not achieved in the courts, who succeeded in life.

Added at the class in the university I work as secretarial, then my first week of the break winter I was working and the only distraction was play zampoña and make some crafts with recycling. But I felt that I needed a break, then I request one week of break and I went to Valle del Elqui with some friends. We travel for different localities This was the best decision I could have done, in this place I thought about of many subject that had me worried and I can resolve this. Added to this I knew places and people very beautiful.

I feel that this week more that a week of relax or fun, was a week of introspection. This makes me very happy and peaceful. Now I feel prepared for make some things that before scared me.
