Transantiago: Before and after

Hello everyone! I’m going to write about the Santiago public transport, specifically about Transantiago. This is a bus transport system that let people to reach every place in Santiago, the capital of Chile. Well, I have to say that this is a very recent system, implemented just in 2007.

Before that, and in my opinion, the public transport was awful. The old one had about six thousands buses and formed a very complex route system. The buses were very old and harmful to environment. The air pollution in Santiago was mostly formed by buses emanation. The bus drivers were very rude and violent, especially with students. Also the bus drivers made races against each other; they fought to take people in. Because that reason and many others the government implemented a foreign public transport system and called it Transantiago.

Transantiago has about two thousands buses less than the old system. The buses are bigger, more comfortable and friendly with the atmosphere. In the old system, people had to pay the fare to the drivers, now everyone has a special card with a chip used to pay the trip. Also the routes are connected with other public transport system, the metro. The trips now are faster and have a lower cost than the old system.

Well, I have to say that in the beginning Transantiago was a mess. But now, three years later, Transantiago is the best thing that has happened to the city (hahahah).

A country I would like to visit

Hello people! As you can see in the title I have to write about a country I would like to visit. This is a very difficult subject to me because I believe that the world is full of mysteries and beauties. You have to know that one of my dreams is someday travel around the world.

Well, if I have to choose a country to visit I would choose Japan. I chose that country because travel there is a dream that I had had for many years. I liked Japan since I began to read manga and see anime. Japan is an island country in East Asia who actually has a population estimated of 127.3 million. Japan is country with a rich and famous culture. Everyone has listen at least one time about samurais, geishas even karaoke. I really like Japanese culture, and I really love Japanese landscapes. That’s why I would like to visit all national parks I can there. I would like to visit many manga stores too; I would like to spend all my money in funny Japanese stuff.

I don’t want to live in Japan, but I would like to visit the country often in my vacations.
Thanks for reading.

Good and Bad Points about the first term of 2009

Hello everybody!! I am starting a new English course and I have to work in a blog again! So I am going to use this one to write the posts.

Well, today I have to write about the good and bad points of the first term, all in two hundreds words, too few words to resume the experiences I had lived. Thus, I’m going to try to be concise in each topic: university, free time, challenges, etc.

The last semester I learned a lot of things from very different areas and I had many subjects, the most important to me was Experimental psychology because that subject let me be a class assistant. Other very interesting subjects were Psychopathology and Neurobiology, where I learned about mental diseases and more about the biology of the brain respectively.

In my free time I did many things not related with the university. My principal activity was acting in a theater academy, I had been doing this for 6 years, and I really love it.

I love to do sports too, I practice Taekwondo regularly but the last semester I couldn’t because I have an injury in my hip. So I went to run every time I could.

Well I run out my word limit but I´m going to write about the challenges I had. The major one was to approve all the subjects in my career, which was particularly difficult because I had many extern activities to do.

That was all for now,

Bye!!
