the so hated transportation system...

Yes, I’m talking about Santiago's transportation system: TRANSANTIAGO.

At least in my point of view it works, the real problem is that is hard for people to get used to something new. It's been like three years since these buses started to work on the streets of the city, and at that time, everybody was quite excited because it was supposed that it was going to fix all the problems that we used to have with the famous Yellow Buses. Once this public transportation program began to work, everybody thought that was going to work fine in the first moment, pretty much magically. But of course it doesn't. The big change of paying with those freaking obnoxious coins to start using a card instead (one you have to charge money in to use it... pretty difficult ah?) was such a problem, because nobody was still ready for such a change!

Well, now it's been a large while, and people keep thinking things will be instantly and magically perfect from the start. But all of this it's a process we all might pass through, and after all, finally people it's getting used to the change. Of course nobody likes to travel in a hideous and full to top bus everyday, even more when you have a long way to go, nor you have to travel an hour just to get home, or university, I don't like it either, but that's life, you can try the Subway, but is just the same thing.

It's Magic...

If you ask me which place in earth I would like to visit, and not only that in strict rigor, I would get speechless, because for a moment I couldn’t be able to choose where would I really like to go!
Well, of course I have a few places in mind.
Starting here in South America, going then to the Mesoamerican area, then all the way to Europe and Asia… Do you think this plan is a bit unrealistic? Well, maybe…but it’s a dream I really want to make true and one I will make true, in the near or not too far, I hope, future… Yeah… these places are so worn out, and everybody want’s the same and blah blah blah… But, like now, I’ve never care about what people think of the most amazing and beautiful places of the world… So…if you don’t like it…I don’t think it’s right to type what I wanna tell you all…
Alright, as I said I’m gonna start with South America, and of course one of the most magical places in the territory now known as Peru, of course, I mean The Inca’s city of Machu Pichu. The reason behind this is that that place is just full of amazing energy and myth, mysterious beliefs and the most wonderful view and architecture constructions full of mystical significances for the unbelievable culture that once, not so long ago lived there.
Let’s change the place, and let’s travel to Mesoamerican area of Yucatan, where the great Maya culture lived their greater times of imperialistic force all the way down from the now known as Mexico’s Caribbean area to the actual Honduras. Yucatan is the principal Maya religious city, the one full of magic and power. The temples there, are mostly covered with grass and plants, are the giants buildings with the form of a stagger pyramid, where they made their cults for the moon, the sun and most of their gods. The thing I love about this is that first they lived in a period where in the present nobody believe it was possible such amazing constructions nor civilizations as Mayas within whole lot of others, and I firmly believe, despite what anyone would say that the past was so much better than the future in so many aspects I couldn’t name most of them.
I wanna see and experience that magic, that power, that great and unrealistic energy that those places have inside, and all the things they keep in secret I want to be able to discovered them, as an archaeologist, and that’s why I spect for my degree, and then my career…
I decided that today I’m gonna write just about those two places, maybe in another day or time I’ll finish this, for now I’m gonna stay with that…

First blog, the first half of 2009

First Blog, first thing I will write here, and I don’t even know where nor how to start. I will just make things easier, and I will begin with the first thing in the list of things I must write about: The first half of the year in College.

At first, I didn’t know what to expect, and it was hard for me to adapt my mind to the college speed, well after a year off, of course it was going to be hard. Anyway I approach every purpose I have made and every promise I have made to myself. It was a hard work but it worth it. I learned a lot about what Anthropology was about, some little thing about how to work with it, and started to fell in love with Archaeology which is THE one specialty I’m looking forward to, why? Is not something I can tell clearly right in this moment, maybe in another blog...

The past half year went on so fast I couldn’t realize nor even get noticed about everything I have done, nor everything I approached, but right now I can say that it was a lot of thing going on my head to even get aware of a bunch of important things. Everything changed in four months, and everything will still going to change in the next for and so on, and I now, now that I think about it why everything went too fast. The one and only reason was that besides of being adapting myself to the college speed, I was adapting myself to the fact my sister start college too, but farther away from Santiago, to Valdivia, so it was a very difficult thing to stay and be without her to think about all the things I did or dedicate to not think about her being away.

So that’s it, what else can I say?
