My kind music like is rock and pop. I have two favorite band “Los tres” and “Vicentico”. “Los tres” are an old band of the 80`. I like what they say their song, it must be because they identify experien

ces of my life. Vicentico is a more current band, the vocalist of the band belongs to the “Fabulosos Cadillacs” band that is of the same time that “Los tres”.

I've often bought CDs, but lately I like to download music from Internet, because is free and there is more variety of bands and singers. In my house I have old CDs, I like most about "Lucybell: Future Sessions", this CD is a compilation of their best songs.

I´ve been to several concerts of my favorite bands, which I liked best was that of the “Prisioneros”, because it was their reunion was the best concert I´ve. Other bands that have gone to see are: Lucybell, Godwana and Illapu.

As for my musical skills is very poor playing any instrument, the truth is that only play the flute. Not read music, I do not understand, never learned, and the singing and speaking, although I love singing karaoke, but I'm not in tune.


The music in my life is very import, because identifies stages of my life, because according to experience this happening, the music will listen. Today I hear all kinds of music, especially Salsa, because my boyfriend loves that style of music. I've learned to enjoy the sauce, since it is a very energizing music that cheers the soul.


The music that I do not like is rap and reggaeton, because this singer is very aggressive and discriminatory.


To conclude this topic, I think the music is very important in the lives of people, especially the typical music of the countries; this identifies the cultures and societies, and national identity.

The Cinema





I do not like going to the movies, because the sound is very loud and hurt my ears, and I think the seats are very uncomfortable. Despite this, just go to the movies. I think my frequency of going to the movies, is once every four months. This is a money issue as it comes out very expensive to go to the movies.


the last time I went to the movies, was in the summer because the JUNAEB, gift tickets to all young people between 15 and 29. The movie I went to see was "Righteous Kill" is a film directed by Jon Avney and starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. is a very good film, there are two detectives who are in search of a murderer. It's a film worth seeing, because the story is intriguing and interesting, and also work two excellent actors.


He often rented movies, but lately I buy or download from the Internet, is cheaper and I worry not returning movies on time.


My favorite movie is "Big Fish". this is a magical and moving film. Its director is Tim Burton and is based on the novel "Big Fish: A Novel of Mythic Proportions" by Dniel Wallace.


The protagonist of this film is Edward Bloom, who was a man who recounts moments of his life adding fantastic features. It is a film that motivates us to dream and believe in magical worlds. This film touches me so much every time I see her. I think I've seen it 4 times.


The part I like about it is when the protagonist arrives in a town where all inhabitants are barefoot, and have their shoes hanging on the edge of town. I think this movie just have good points, I could not tell which scenes or times are bad, because I loved the whole movie.

post 5: WHAT TO DO / WHERE TO GO IN SANTIAGO

I think I know well Santiago, since there are many places that I've never been. I was born in Santiago in the town of Independence, spent my early years there, then we moved to Cerro Navia, and finally to Puente Alto, commune where I spent most of my life.

Puente Alto was a very quiet and full of plots, but as time passed, it was populated by many people today Puente Alto is one of the most populated districts of Santiago.

For tourists who often visit Santiago, I would recommend the following sites:

- Cerro San Cristobal



Cerro San Cristobal is the lung of the city of Santiago, and is most visited by tourists and city dwellers. In the meet, the National Zoo in Chile, Santiago Forest is a center for environmental education in the learning activities are conducted outdoors, sports and recreational activities for the whole family.




- Catedral Metropolitana de Santiago


This cathedral is located in the Plaza de Armas, is one of the most representative buildings of the colonial period architecture.






- Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes




This museum is located next to Forest Park is one of the main centers for the dissemination of visual arts in the country.




- Palacio de la Moneda



El Palacio de la Moneda is the seat of President of the Republic of our country. This building has had several changes on the outside, it now has a beautiful entrance.





- Barrio Concha y Toro



This is a neighborhood that still has the neoclassical and Renaissance styles of Santiago elegant of the early twentieth century, architecturally unique and special that is worth exploring.






Finally, I can only recommend to tourists, do not forget to taste the typical dishes of our country, as are the "empanadas de pino", "corn cake", "Chilean salad" and "beans with sausage. Our country is invaded by thousands of flavors of the world, that thanks to globalization, but still it is necessary to prove the country's own food, to know their food.
