Usually, I spend my money (the money that I'm still having after bills)
going to eat outside, going to cinema, having a barbacue with friends in my house, it
depends, but the more important thing for us (my wife and I) is save
money, We always are trying to save money because we love to travel and
that is a very expensive hoby.

Also we are always trying to pay all our buys by cash because credit
cards or loans are very expensives.

Yesterday 3 delinquents knocked on the door of the family house, the lady opened it and they violently entered pointing their guns at her and the three girls.

They registered the whole house and fled with a about $2.000.000 on jewels and species.

The lady said that the most traumatic was to see the gun pointing at her 3 years old daughter who was paralyzed by terror. Among them there was a minor who was the most violent of all he was on charge of pointing the kids while the other two looked for things to steal in the house. She said it was a horrible experience and she hopes the police find the robbers soon and they are put under arrest because they are a terror for the city.


Place in Santiago

Would you like to know a beatiful place inside the city ? Don't waste more time trying to find a better place, here is the solution.

Go to Persa Bio Bio where you can find all the things that you need, Why would pay more for something brand new if can buy it used ? Doesn't matter from where the things came, the important thing is that you are going to save a lot of money there.

Remember, on the Franklin subway station, a beautiful, quiet, secure and clean place to visit.


Santiago City tour.

Posted by Rodrigo Tapia On 1 comentarios

Santiago is a beautiful city wich has several places to visit, as an example, you can go to Plaza de Armas, Estación Mapocho, Museo de Bellas Artes, Parque Forestal, etc. and more important, Santa Lucía hill and San Cristobal Hill, I think both places are the most important because not all the cities have hills inside downtown.

Where i live it's a very quiet neighborhood, near to mountains, with a beatiful see to the city. I'm near to schools, hospitals, comercial centers and all that i need.


Alto Hospicio Psychopath

Some time ago, in the town of Alto Hospicio, a dozen of young girls were kidnaped raped and murdered by a quiet neighbor who nobody suspected anything.

Guido Utreras was going down on the motorway when he saw a student covered in blood asking for a ride. She begged him to take her to hospital because a man in a white car had tried to rape her. It was the called psychopathic Alto Hospicio.

A few hours after this encounter, the girl, known until now only as Barbara N, 13, ended the criminal story of Julio Pérez Silva, the worst serial murderer in the history of Chile. It was on 4 October 2001.


Night view seasons!

I’ve heard from some tourist and read in a few brochures that Santiago weather is like Mediterranean one, moderated hot but, that’s only during springtime, but I think and the most that I love are those medium windy, sunny and medium hot days. Summer sometimes is such a hot that you can feel your shoe soles like chewing gum sticking on the floor. And summer night i love it!

Autumn is not my favorite because those dark and cloudy evenings… anyway sometimes are nice to have a nice walking in the Forestal Park almost in the middle of the town, crashing the dry leaves, thinking, planning what whatever (somebody said, jajaja) .

Winter some years really rainy and others really dry. I like to watch the rain but I don’t like to feel wetted.

The most beautiful after a rainy night is to observe Los Andes mountain full of snow in a open and shine day.


City Tour

I think Santiago is a beautiful city which has a several places that you can visit. In the Sundays the best place is the Parque Forestal, is a beautiful pedestrian area in the middle of the downtown. It`s a big park with a lot of trees and roads that you can walk or relax in the grass. In the weekends you can take your bike and take the cycle lane (in this case is the park) and go to the San Cristobal Hill, is a long way, but it is worth.
Also you can visit the museum, and in Sundays is free ticket!, later I like to walk to Jose Miguel de la Barra street, and there you can see many coffee places and sit to enjoy a strong coffee and a good conversation.


BraveHart

I think this is one of the best films because it has all the qualities that I’m looking for in a movie. It has humour, action and romance. It also has an excelent story and very realistic. This is now one of my favourite films.

My opinion is that everybody who want to learn some history and likes a good film should watch this one. I learned a lot about William Wallace and Scotland’s fight for independence at the same time as I could enjoy a good story.

Braveheart can’t be put in a specific genre, it has so many different genres. It’s both a drama-movie, an action-movie and a romantic-movie. The film also contents some humoristic elements that can make us laught.




Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Posted by Elizabeth Vargas Barham On 2 comentarios

I want to write about one of my favorite movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It's was directed by Michel Gondry, a brilliant filmmaker and film director, who has done a several movies and music videoclips and was written by Charlie Kaufmann. It's a romantic and fiction movie about a man, (played by Jim Carrey), who one day decided to take a train to the next station. In that train he meet to Clementine (played by Kate Winslet), a nice girl and later they start a relationship.  One day he goes to the work of Clementine and she behaves as if they don´t meet before. And then he discover that she has erased her mind, so he does the same procedure, but in the middle he change his mind and the only way to avoid that procedure is try to hide Clementine to the doctors in other places of his mind.
I don´t write about the end of the movie, because you must to see it, is a really good movie and an unusual plot.
