My Favourite Dish

Hello people! I’m going to talk about my favourite dish. In a world full of tastes and flavours everybody has their preferred ones. I’m going to talk about mine.

Well, I really don’t have a favourite dish. I like many dishes but being honest the food isn’t an important pleasure to me. I’m not picky with food. But, I have to say that I’m vegetarian. Many dishes I eat I don’t know their names because are from Taiwan. But basically I really like omelettes and pastas. Also I like soya products, as hamburgers for example. So a really good dish for me will be a combination of that food.

My favourite taste is sweet. Thus, the food I like most are not dishes, but desserts I think. My really favourite thing to eat is bitter chocolate. I can’t imagine another food so stimulant to sense of taste than chocolate. Also I can’t resist a good cake, pancake, ice-cream or anything you could find in a cake store or ice-cream parlour.

I had had many good moments eating the last food I mentioned. It’s sound obvious but cakes are often eaten in birthday parties or celebrations. Everyone can talk about a good moment while a cake was present. Also I like to invite friends to eat ice-cream or cake and talk a while. Chat with a sweet taste is such a good combination!

There are many places to get a good dessert. But Bravissimo and Gatsby are very popular. I like that places too.

Well thanks for reading.

What to do and where to go in Santiago.

Hello! This time I’m going to talk about the places and activities that a foreigner can do in Santiago.
Santiago is the capital and the largest city of Chile. In Santiago the population reaches about 5.5 million people. Like any big city there are many things to do and places to go out. I`m going to talk about 5 locations/activities (there are so much more).
I’m going to be honest; I don’t go out often in my free times. But there are some places I really like. The place I like most is the Estadio Nacional. This is the main stadium of Chile, also is a big public park. I like it because I think that is a very peaceful place, to do sports or simple go around.
Another place is La Moneda, where the government is located. In that place there are beautiful parks and a wonderful cultural center.
Also you can go to the hills that Santiago has. San Cristobal and Santa Lucia are the principal ones. I really recommend these places because see the city from above it really worth it.
I don`t recommend it because I’m vegetarian but the Mercado Central is a typical place to go. In there you can eat all the fish and seafood you want.
Finally, I recommend El Colorado Sky Center. This center is formed of two interconnected villages, each one with hotels and refuges. Next to La Parva and Valle Nevado, is the major and best Ski surface in South America.
Well, that are the places and activities I`ll “recommend” to a foreigner.
Thanks for reading.

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975)


Hello people! This time I’m going to do a movie review! I’m going to talk about “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, a Jack Nicholson movie.

Well, winner of 5 oscars and another 28 wins and nominations this movie is a “must-see” classic. McMurphy (Nicholson) was a prisoner who wants to avoid the forced labor camp in jail by all cost. For doing that he pretended to be a mental ill person, so he was transferred to a mental institution. In that place he fitted in frighteningly well. But because his impulsive and explosive personality he had many conflicts with the Chief Nurse, who didn’t want that McMurphy left the place because she thought that he was really ill. For that reason McMurphys began his tries to escape from the asylum…

This movie made you think about what is to be “crazy”, Was Nicholson character really mad? Was he really faking his problem? Also this movie shows the life inside a mental institution and how is the common life for people with psychiatric problems.

I saw this movie in my home. You can do the same I did and download it from internet and see it. I really recommend this movie, especially for people who are studying a career related with the human mind or simple have interest on the subject.

I hope you had enjoyed this review,

Bye!!
