February 27, the earthquake.

 

 

  Hello, this week I must to write about the earthquake at february 27, a long and sad story.

 

I had arrived to live to Concepción at february 22, 2010, I had begun to study Industrial Design in the University of Biobio and we started the classes at february 23, I was to study a few days and at february 26 my girlfriend arrived from Puerto Montt to live with me in Concepción, we went for a walk by the downtown of the city and we went to a big park and to a hill near to the downtown of the city, it was a nice day and later we went to our home to rest.

 

 

 

   the earthquake begun late in the night and we were sleeping then, and the whole house begun to move and I thought that it was a nightmare, but I realized soon that it was a real earthquake, the house moved as a ship in a big storm, the glasses broke and the electricity and water were shut off, and I heard gas explosions everywhere (Concepción has underground gas pipes) several gas pipes broke in the city but the workers of the gas plant shut off the gas supply just in time to avoid a mayor tragedy. we had not a device to listen the radio then, but we Heard the news by a portable  neighbors' radio and then we listen a Concepción´s radio which said that it was a tsunami in Dichato and that already had dead people because of the earthquake and tsunami, and the radio said that we had to be calm.

 

   in the saturday morning we walked searching something to by to eat, but every grocery store were closed and it the few grocery stores that were open sold the food in the triple of the real Price or even more, In the afternoon the people begun to steal everything everywhere, even I saw people stealing fuel in a oil station, they extracted the fuel from the tanks using tins with cords, something similar to the eskimo people when they fish in a hole in the ice, for this reason arrived the soldiers in the night to order the city.

 

 

  we stayed for three day in concepción later the earthquake and then we traveled to Santiago escaping from the chaos.

 

 It was a great story, I hope that it had interested you.

goodbye everyone.



EXOTIC PETS IN THE WORLD

 

  Hello to everyone, in this week I have to write about a pet that I have or I would like to have, I alright wrote about this in a past post (june 24, 2013) for this reason I decided simply to write about the exotic pets that the people have around the world especially the strangest animals that the people could to have in their house.

 

 

 

 

  For example this boy and his snake, apparently to have snakes how pets is common in asian countries (because I have seen several photos in which appear children with snakes), wow it is amazing to see a little boy hugging that animal.

 

    Here we can to see an anteater with a sweater, I don´t know where it lives nor how is its owner but it´s a beautiful animal to have in the house (espeacially if you have an ant plague in your house), in a different way you would have to go to search ants to feed him. (hard job for a human).

 

 

    ha ha ha, this must to be the most intelligent pet of the world, it is a Capybara, the biggest rodent of the world, this animal lives in the tropical countries of America and it is the anaconda´s favorite food, but this capibara doesn´t have anything to fear because it is in a house and it knows its rights, how you can see it studing in the photo.

 

 



 

 

   This is a reindeer and its owner in a train station, I don´t know haw that animal can to travel in a train but it must to be something strange but accepted in another countries.

 

 

 

This is an Axolotl, an amphibian animal sold in many pet shop in the world.

 

I hope that you had enjoyed this post, goodbye everyone.

 



 

      

 

 

 

 



 

   

My girlfriend´s graduation dinner.

     Hello, in this post I must to speak about a special meal that I remember, and I thought that is interesting to remember an important dinner that I had.

 

    This dinner was the celebration of the university graduation of my girlfriend in 2009, she graduated of Psychology in Puerto Montt that year with a very well mark, and the people who went to the dinner were his family and me, this dinner was in an amazing restaurant near to Puerto Montt, its name is Kiel, I don´t know what is Kiel, perhaps it is a german word, but it doesn´t matter.

   

 

    The restaurant is in front of the sea and it had very beautiful gardens with ponds with ducks swimming there, and this restaurant had a marine setting, full of things from the ships and from the sea, wow, it was a luxury restaurant, and I don´t remember very well the meal, perhaps it was beef with some accompaniment, desserts and wine, but I remember very well the "ceviche".

 

 

     I remember in special this dinner because it was a special moment for my girlfriend, when someone graduates from the university merits to have a celebration for his/her achievements, it is necessary to celebrate the great moments.

 

goodbye to everyone.

 

    

 

    

 

  Travel to Dichato and "Los morros"

 

   I remember very well a travel I did with a friend to Dichato (David Reyes) in a weekend at february 2005. Dichato is a coastal town in the north of Concepción. It was a poor travel but funny, we led our things in the hut of one person that I knew, but we had to sleep in a tent near to 5 AM. the night in Dichato was funny because it is a very crowded beach.

 

 

 

   In the following morning we was to "Los morros", those are a hills in the end of the bay, but we were walking and we took around 2 or 3 hours (in a turtle step), and when I saw the open sea it was genial, when you up to these hills you can see the inside of the bay and in the other side you can see the huge Pacific ocean, with its waves trains, fishing boats, seagulls and you can feel a pleasant wind, we climbed to the Summit´s hill and there was several seagulls nests.

 

 

and these seagulls threatened peck us when they flew down and quickly, moreover they shouted loudly to protect their nests, although we didn´t want to destroy their nests.

 

 

 

 

   Later of this we were to the beach which was full of huge cochayuyos.  It was a genial travel to the beach.

 

Goodbye to everyone, till the next week.

 







something I would like to learn to do.

 

To do Bonsais

 

    I would like to do bonsais (the art to create old little trees), I would like to learn to do this because I think that those trees are great, and there are many kinds of bonsais, with many shapes and sizes, there are alone tree bonsais and little forest bonsais, (the little forest bonsais must be in an odd number, never an even number), this is an old belief.

 

 

    I think that it would be not difficult to learn, but  the person that try to learn this must to know something about the trees.

     I don´t know how long it would take to learn to make bonsais but I think that it can be several years to do it well, moreover some bonsais take many years to be completed (an old bonsai is generally most beautiful that a younger bonsai).

 

 

     The equipment to make bonsais is mainly a big number of tree pruners, wires, pliers, shovels, between other things (non expensive things).

 

 

     The main difficulty is to prune a tree, because you must to take a normal size young tree and to shrink it several times and you can to kill the tree to do this. this process needs much patience.

 

 

      there are bonsai competitions in countries how Japan, China and in other countries where these are most popular.

 

goodbye to everyone.

Free post:    

 aliens; creators of the humankind?

   Hello to everyone, this week I can to choose the theme of the post and I thought to write about a very interesting matter for many people: The aliens and the theory of the creation of the humankind by them. 

    There are many ancient monuments in the whole world which don´t have a convincing explanation about its real meaning and how these were built, for example, the Egypt´s pyramids, the Easter island´s Moais, Stonehenge, between others.

     there are people that suggest that the aliens were the creators of those great monuments or they gave the technology to the humans to build those huge structures, those people also say that the alien have been always visiting to the humans, they also think that some pharaohs of the ancient Egypt could have been aliens which were governing to the people like authentic gods in the Earth.

     we have also ancient great monuments in the Easter Island: The Moais, and they also don´t have an easy explanation about its construction. They weigh many tonnes and it is hard to imagine how the people of that time and place can build, to transport and to place them in their platform without suitable tools or big machineries. For some people the Moais are monuments to the alien gods and they represent the face of those gods which in some moment visited to the inhabitants of the island. 

    There are too many mysteries in the world and also there are too many theories to answer those mysteries.  The human mind doesn´t have limits.

  thanks to read and goodbye.

Fiestas patrias.

 

  Hello everyone, this is a new semester with new teacher, and now I going to write about the "fiestas patrias" celebration, I will talk about this celebration when I lived in Puerto Montt between 2006 and 2010 and of course I stayed there for this celebration, I remember that this celebration was every year with a very rainy weather. the people of that city tryed to imitate the traditional activities of the central Chile people, such as the foods, the traditional games, the music, among other things.

 

  

 

  I used to go to this celebration place with my girlfriend in Puerto Montt and we also used to go to Puerto Varas, and there we drank beer and we ate traditional chilean and German food, that is a mix of chilean and German party very interesting moreover with a beautiful landscape.

  

 

 

  the rain was not a problema there because in Puerto Varas there was a big tent to meet and celebrate join to the central square of the city ( join to the Llanquihue lake), this year I will travel again to Puerto Montt and also I will go to Puerto Varas with my girlfriend. I hope also to can to go to Osorno. goodbye overyone, I hope that you are well.
