Summer Plans

This summer is going to be the last one until I get a job. So, there are my lasts long vacations. Because of this I expect to visit a lot of places and be with friends, relatives, families, etc. First, I would like to visit my relatives in Curicó. This city is near to where I live, Santiago; therefore, it’s not difficult to travel there, I go whenever I want. On the other hand, I would like to go with my girlfriend to Puelo to visit a few friends there, and do trekking in Cochamó for a week. There are great natural places to see near of those towns. An activity that I’m thinking of being part is a fishing trip in Futrono. Every year I go with my uncles and cousins, and we stay about a week eating and drinking well.

Furthermore, I’m planning to work in the summer. I would like to go to a fieldwork in the North or in the South of Chile. I have a few contacts of people working in the North, but it’s not the same in the case of the South. I have only one contact of a person working near of Puerto Montt, but I don’t know her, because a teacher gives me her e-mail. This could be a good experience if happens, and I would like to go there. Plus, I would like to start my practice of the university on January, to can advance and get my degree the next year, if I also finish my thesis. 

Post 7: I love music

It’s a great company in every moment. That’s my opinion about music. All week I have to travel at least one hour and a half to go to the university. So, when I’m not studying or reading papers of archaeology, I’m listening music to enjoy that time. This help me to enjoy more my travels.

And I like all kinds of music, especially rock and funk. And about it, I think Chilean rock it’s okay, but Chilean funk it’s pretty well. For example, I like Los Tetas, and Papanegro, Chileans bands that plays funk. And if you ask me, I prefer international rock band, like The Strokes, Queen, or Articks Monkeys. In the future, I would like to go to a concert of The Strokes or Articks Monkeys; they are great bands.

Also, I’m a fond of the radio, and not only to listening music: hear radio programs it’s a pleasure to me. And I think it’s not bad the law that obliging the radio stations to play a certain amount of Chilean music every day, but, in my opinion, that law don’t speak well about the Chilean music: they are obligating to play that music. That situation would have to be naturally, a spontaneous thing.

And finally, life without music would be a horrible thing. Music is one of my favorite things, and I love it when I’m alone and when I'm with other people. It's nice to hear music alone; but it's nice to listen it with other people. For example, go to a concert with friends. 

How green are you?

I can say that in Chile there're a few institutions or places where a person can learn about environmentally friendly practices. For example, when I was in School my teachers never teach me about this practices, and in the university is the same. There're no subjects about environmentally practices. The only things are environmental initiatives like put different types of garbage dumps, but they not teach about how to use it. They only hope that the people would use this in a good way.

I don't have incorporated a lot of recycling habits, because I don't know much about recycling. The only thing that I learned I see them in the internet. I try to not use plastic bags, and near of my house there are a place where I can recycle glass. I prefer move to using the public transport, because I live too far from the university.

The only eco-organization that I have joined is Puelo Sin Torres. This is an organization that wants to stop the construction of an electric company in the Rio Puelo that would destroy the ecosystem of that place. I joined Puelo Sin Torres because this place is too beautiful, and I went there a lot of times, and I want go there again and again. In the future, I would like to support more organization like this, to preserve the ecosystem everywhere.

In home I try to turn off the electric things always, because this is a way to reduce the carbon footprint of my family. This kinds of things help in this issue, and I see that the society don't do this. There a lot of missing in our society, but the most important thing is that there are no environmental initiatives in Santiago that teach about this practices. 

Post Blog 4: All food is love

I always eat at a fixed time. I try to not change this times, because i listened that is not healthy to have meals in different times. But, when i have hangover, i skip the breakfast. It’s my only excuse to not have this meal. In other way, about the try new foods and drinks, i usually like to try different things, and not only new foods but also new recipes, because it’s good to discover new flavors in old meals. I generally don’t cook, but i like to help in the kitchen. So, if someone ask me to cut a vegetable, or to prepare a bologna, i do it.

About healthy eating, i do not know very much. I never have been in diet, because i never have problems with my weight. I always try to do exercise and play sports, especially soccer and tennis. I like to eat not only at home but also at a restaurant, because each one have good meals. But, i prefer to eat at home, because i know that all meals are going to be good. And if i were in a death row, i will request a lasagna. It’s my favorite meal. So, if i go to an Italian restaurant, i will always order a lasagna.
