Cosmopolitan India!


I’ve always dreamed about to be in an especial country, so if I`ve got enough money, I’ll go to India, is not a small country but  I would like to went all over India. I don’t know so much about this amazing country, but for me is very interesting all the variety of people that you can found there. Different religions and beliefs, the social structure and the markets are some of things that you can see in India. In general the occidental culture is very different of the oriental culture so I think that is the reason of why I would like to go to the cosmopolitan India.
Another think that is very interesting is the sacred cow. In the first term I had to do an investigation about this topic; it was so interesting that I would like to see it with my eyes.
Being there I would like to visit the Buddhism temples and the markets and museums in Delhi.  Also I would like to know some palace and fortress in the touristic country of Rajasthàn one if the most interesting zones of India.  Independently of that, I would like to be imbued of the culture of the country. I just want to travel there, like a travel to learn and enjoy.

The last beautiful movie!

A group of classmates and I are having different sessions to watch interesting movies. One of the movies that we watched was “Bin-jip”, more recognized like “Iron 3”, directed by a famous and talented film’s director named Kim Ki-duk. In general the movies directed by Kim Ki-duk are really beautiful and different of the commercial cinema. “Iron 3” was the first movie that I watched of him and it is wonderful. The dialogues neither are exaggerated nor insufficient, just the right touch of speaking.  Not for nothing this type of cinema is called “cinema of silence”, because the important is the interaction of the actors between themselves and the location. The soundtrack is very important too and the art direction of the movie is spectacular, near to the end of the movie, there’s a memorable final image that makes you be a little emotional.
If you want to watch a good movie, with beautiful images, and different topics I recommend you “Iron 3” or any movie of this Japanese film`s director Kim ki-duk.

A new and strange term.-

Everyone thinks that, near to December, the vacations are already started, but not. It`s the beginning of a new and strange term. Strange in the sense that is very short and all the knowledge that we supposed to know in 6 months, we have to summarize in only 3.
This term started in November and probably will finish in the first days of February. So, my classmates and I will celebrate all the festivities in class.
I have 6 subjects in this term without consider the extra courses. Sometimes is really hard to combine the university life with my social life, but I think that is possible. Among the subjects, my favorites are Historia Social de Chile and Sociologìa. I take other subjects like: Evolución, Arqueología, Estadìstica and Antropología II.  In the other hand, I am taking an extra course about a Chilean filmmaker named Raúl Ruíz, this course is really interesting and is different from all the other subjects.
The most difficult of this new term, for me, is the warm weather and be in class at 2 or 3 pm in a classroom with another 60 classmates can be such an experience.
Well I hope that the term will be fun as much as possible and I hope to pass all my subjects with good grades. At least, one thing is clear; the festivities will be very different this year.
