Blogging Experience

My blogging experience was, well, normal, I guess. It was what I expect, but with the difference that I learned more than I was expecting., and also, as the time went by, I learned more.
At the beginning was really bored for my, but after a few classes I realized when was the last time I wrote in English (long time ago) and who I was forgotten a really big amount of my writing skills, so I thought : “ Well, you had better to take advantage of this time, perhaps some good come out of this”, so I star to do what I have to. After that everything was so much easier (despite is, unless, hard to keep coming every thursday of every week).
So it did help my to improve my English. I don´t know if worth it if I take into account the time that I have to spend (on thursday my classes finish at 13:30), but It wasn’t my choice.
The advantages are clear: if you do the things right, you will learn, unless, some English. If you do it really well, you will learn more, so it an opportunity to. Is, in great measure, up to you.
Also when have the chance to chose the topic many time, that`s other advantage.
On the other side, the bad one, it the time. While I`m writing is really dark outside, and I could be in my home, enjoying of my youth, spending time with friend and my girlfriend or studding, hours ago. It just too late for my, and writing is not precisely the skill I`m concerned about, or not now. I would like to improve my reading skills, and I guess this (the blog) will be good for that, but in this kind of exercise are not focus on this part of the language.

The World Cup

I´m not a big fan of football soccer, really. I never see a complete match, in fact, I think I can remember the exactly numbers of time I saw 90 minutes of football (I can say the same about match in stadiums). Despite all this, I do like the World Cup...is just to good. I really like to see this match, I guess, for two things.
It`s objective: the football match of the world cup are so much better (technically) than many others, perhaps are the best in the world, so the football quality is really good, is “nice” to see such an spectacle like this.
The other things (this is a more stupid one) is the struggle about countries, like when England played against Argentina during the Falkland’s war or against Ireland, Turkey against Greece, and etc... This make`s the match a bit more interesting, because you know the people who is watching in the countries who belongs the football selection are hating the other team.
I don´t have plans to watch any match; I am not saying I`m not going to see them, in fact, I really would like to, is just that I`m not making any giant efforts. Tomorrow I don´t think I`ll see the match, is just too early for to see soccer for my.
I would like Chile win tomorrow, but I’m not expecting anything at all... well, it is Honduras (it is?), that doesn’t sound very hard.
The relevance for the country? Wow, It`s big, I guess. Chile like football (what a surprise), and the last world cup that whe went was 98`s, so should be important to us.

D-Day

This picture was taken by a Hungarian photographer, Robert Capa.He covered 5 wars: the Spanish Civil War (there are many grates pictures from this war. One he took in the exactly same moment that a soldier was shoot), the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II across Europe, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and the First Indochina War.
I choose this one because I have to (I mean, choose just one).
Capa is a war photographer. He use to say “if a picture is not good enough it because you waren`t close enough”. With this philosophy he went really close to some quite dangerous situation, in fact, he died when he set of an antipersolan mine.

This picture was taked during the D-Day, in the north cost of France, Normandy (Omaha beach…everyone who saw Ryan Soldier movie will know it), in June 6, 1944. It`s difficult to imagine a more dangerous place to be with, instead of a riffle, two Contax II cameras (for my is just crazy, and I really thing Capa loved his job and lifestyle). It`s shows when the americans where out of the boats and star to walk (run) to the nazi`s bunkers in a really critical position.

I like it for , I think, two reason. First you could say it`s a real picture, not an artistic one (I do like the artistics pictures to, anyway) who show us a part of a history but, and this is the second reason, it was taken with such a big sensibility that, don`t mind the picture was taking from behind the soldiers, you could feel the fear (if you see the others pictures of the serie, you will see the faces and tetrical stages) and it`s easy to appreciate what this people were dealing with

The road of Santiago de Compostela.

My favorite trip, or one of my favorites (I can`t decide) is the Road of Santiago of Compostela.
That was something I did when I was 18 years old, and it was quite great experience. I took a plane, from England to Valladolid, Spain. After that I took a coach to Burgos and from there I star to walk, the next morging (at 5 am in the middle of a electric storm), and I walked from 18 days consecutive (without stop any day).
This is an old pilgrim way wich , theoretically, begins from the door and finish in the front of the grave of the apostle Santiago (in the cathedral of the city), in the south-west of Spain (Galicia).
I went alone, but there are some many people (sometime too much persons) , from all ages and countries, who do this, that you`r never really alone. Some pleople do it for religious matters, but the most (like myself) of the people walk the road of Santiago for, well, hundreds of reason`s, like spiritual, sports, cultural or who know what.
This road is special for several reason. Firts, i`d never walk that much in my life. It was more than 600 km (like 33 km per day). I visit very differents cities and landscapes, I meet grate people, specially one (who was very important for my; other story). It was very cheap (I spend like 10 euros every day, that`s nothing). I visist really old churchs and I learned a lot of Spanish history (also a lot of Christian history as well) and it was really good fun.
