Post Eight: Animals

Imagen
Hi readers! The topic I will write today is about animals. First I want to say that I have never had animals as pets, it is very sad because I really want to adopt a cat. I think cats are amazing animals, they are very eccentric but also so lovely. I like their strange behavior because it made them unique. I don´t like exotic pets because the people that buy this kind of animals are promoting illegal trading and animal mistreatment. Most important than a selfish desire, it will be support actions and organizations which target is the protection of animals species in their natural environment. I  have many favorite animals, I really like chilean native fauna like pudú, mountain monkey and, obviously, the differents kind of wild cats.  I like them because they are beautiful creatures and are important keys in their ecosystem stability. I don´t like zoos, it is cruel put animals in cages, I only support them when animals can´t be re-inserted in their native habitat. Whe...

Post Seven: Postgraduate studies

Hi readers! Today I want to write about a postgraduate course that I would like to take in the future. This course will be related to forensic archaeology and the reasons I want to take it are that I think it could help me a lot to complement my undergraduate studies. In this sense, it would be very useful to be able to develop a better fieldwork and to understand different factors that affect my object of study. I think that a subject that I really would like to study is archaeological fieldwork techniques because I could learn important skills that I currently do not know. I have always thought that I want to study abroad because this postgraduate course doesn't exist in Chile. A country in which this course is available is in the United States, so I really need to improve my english skills. I would like to study a part-time course because in this way I can do other activities such as working or having free time to do things that I like. I don´t like a full dis...

Post Six: Future job

Hello readers! The topic of this post is about a job that I would like to do in the future. I have always thought that the perfect kind of job for me is to work as forensic anthropologist at Servicio Médico Legal. In this job, I would have to analyze human remains that are linked to legal medical cases. Something I like about this job is that it has administrative duties but also outdoors activities. Like I write before, in this job you will need to do field visits to investigate the different cases. I really love travel to different locations, so this job would be perfect for me. I do not know how much salary I would get from this job but I hope it is enough to have an adequate lifestyle. The last year I decided that I want to do a postgrade in USA. The postgrade going to be about forensic anthropology. I think this will help me to find better job opportunities in the future and it also satisfies my desire to learn more about this discipline. Another option that I have consid...

Post Five: Music

Hello! Today I want to write about my favorite type of music. Since I was a child there has been one type of music that I love: rock. This is an inheritance from my parents, always in my house has been listened rock music. I remember that my mom always liked to watch the movie Pink Floyd: The Wall. At that time, this movie was something scary to me but I remember that I really like the music of Pink Floyd. Now I like different kinds of music but I think the most frequently I listen are rock and pop music. My favorite band is Nine Inch Nails. This an north american industrial band founded in 1988. I started to listen since 2010 because the TV program 7mo Vicio played a live performance of this band. When I listened their famous albums like The Fragile, The Downward Spiral or Year Zero I instant love their music. Something that I like are their angry songs, it can help me to calm down and relax. This year a lot of bands that I like came to my country and I had the pleasure to attended...

Post Four: Food

Hi readers! The post of today is related to food. I don´t know if I am a strange person or not but I don´t have one  favorite food. I am trying to think in some preparation that I really enjoyed; however, I can´t find any. Although I don´t have a food that it is special to me, at least I can say I really love different kinds of food. For example, I like so much to eat fruit and vegetables. These aren´t only rich in nutrients and flavors but also they don´t need a complex preparation.  Other kind of food that I enjoyed are these one that have bittersweet flavours like some asian preparations. I don´t like cooking because I am a lazy person. The few times that I have cooked were a disaster and, for this reason, I don´t complain about what others cook for me. I have a personal guidelines on food that consist in different portions of protein, carbohydrate, vegetables and others. Because of that, I don´t buy lunch at the campus and I try everyday  to vary in the preparatio...

Post Three: Concert

Imagen
Hello dear readers! The post of this week is about my favourite concert, which is Nick Cave and the bad seeds. This was two weeks ago, on october 5 at the Teatro Caupolican. I was waiting for years to see a this band because I think that their music is amazing This australian rock band is led by Nick Cave and their music is characterized by poetry lyrics and dark themes with furious melodies but also calm sounds. I was the privilege to be in the first rows, so the concert was very intense for me because the live performance of this band are always in a close proximity, and this wasn´t an exception. Nick Cave loves to interactive with their fans and, for this reason, he isn´t afraid to be among the people in their concerts. This time he jump to the crowd and then he sing down the stage embrancing his fans, a few songs later he return to the stage and let people go up to there. I enjoyed so much the concert because they play all the song that I really love (like Stagger Lee, Jubilee S...

Post Two: Japan

Hello! The topic I will write today is relating to a country I would like to visit in the future. Since I was a child I´ve  wanted to go to Japan because I had always been interested in japanese culture. One of the aspect of their culture that I really like is the japanese cinema because it is very different to western movies. Through Japanese films I have seen the wonderful landscape that this country has. One thing I would like to do in Japan is go to visit to Fushimi Inari-taisha, located in Kyoto. This sacred shrine is the house of the god Inari (who represents the prosperity and success) and is characterized for its trails with beautiful Torii (traditional japanese gate). I also would like to stayed in a ryokan, that is a traditional inn with floor of tatami and its doors are sliding. In this hotels you sleep in futons (a japanese style of bedding), something I would really like to do. I only want to go on vacation to Japan because I don´t speak their lenguage and I have...
