Blog Session 2: The best holiday/concert I've had

I’ve been to many concerts, I love them, especially rock concerts, I’ve seen Black Sabbath, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters, Imagine Dragons, I also saw Queen when they came with Adam Lambert, so it’s very difficult to choose only one. However, this time I’ll choose the concert by The Killers.

The Killers is a rock band from Las Vegas, in the United States, they are very famous and have won several awards.

The concert was in the Movistar Arena, about four years ago, I had wanted to go to that concert for a very long time, but I didn’t have the money, so I thought “whatever, next time”, but on the day of the concert my husband calls me like two hours before the concert, it was a Tuesday, and he said “I won 2 tickets for The Killers, get ready”. I was so happy! The thing is that he won VIP tickets, we were so close to the stage that I could see the band very closely.

It was one of the best concerts, they sounded just like on the radio, Brandon Flowers’ voice was amazing and the concert had a bit of everything, lasers, smoke, balloons, and confetti. I had the best time and I always thank my husband for it.

Blog Session 1: A country I'd like to visit

Hi everyone,

Today I would like to write about Japan, which is one of the countries I would like to visit in no more than 5 years’ time. I believe its culture is completely different from ours and the architecture is also very different. I studied Japanese for a couple of years, and I found it very difficult, but I also had classes of Japanese culture and it was so different that I was fascinated by it.

I would like to visit different temples there, parks and also go to the capital Tokyo to visit famous locations there, I would like to eat a lot of food, buy many kawaii things, like presents and clothes.

A few years ago, my husband and I decided we would go there in 2021, I hope we can do it, you never know what could happen, but before I travel there I would like to learn Japanese again, I forgot almost everything, and I want to be able to speak a little before I get there.

Other places I would like to visit are Italy, Vietnam, Ireland, and many others, but we’ll leave that for the future.

Blog Session 0: Things you love and hate about Santiago

Hello dear students,
As you know from the first class, I'm not originally from Santiago, even though I've been living here for 15 years. I'm from Puerto Montt and there are things that I love about this city and other things that I really don't like.
I hate the long distances, I work at different universities and sometimes it takes me one hour and a half to get to my house after classes, which is not very good, considering that I want to get home to see my daughter. The good thing is that I drive home, so I can listen to music in my car, change the temperature and be sitting comfortably, the bad thing is the traffic.
I must say, though, that I really like Santiago, because of all the alternatives it has, not only places to eat, parks to visit or places to go shopping, but because of the medical alternatives. My brother used to get sick a lot when he was little and in the South of Chile we didn't have many options where to take him, but here in Santiago if something bad happens I have different places to go, and the waiting time is considerably less than in Puerto Montt.
Also, I met my husband here and I had my daughter here, so how could I not love this city?
