POST 2: My first Lollapalooza without ticket!!!

Hello! I'm going to talk about the first experience of concert with friends. In this case, it was with one particular friend. We were in the year 2013, like in first grade of highschool. Me and my friend Cesar were walking down the street when we saw a Poster on a bus stop, the poster says "Lollapalooza".

None of us had in that time enough money to pay the ticket, so we thought that maybe we could try to jump or do something to make it. So we organiced at what time que were going to meet in the subway station, so from there we were going to walk around the O'higgins park searching for a posibility to enter.

We saw that there was a posibility close to the Skatepark that is inside the O'higgins park, so I entered first and tried to hide behind a van, the guards were taking out the skaters. I was hidden but in some moment, the skaters saw me and started laughing, so the security guard turned around and put their eyes on me. He walked and said to me that I had to leave the place.


Then, when I was with Cesar again, we were a little sad, thinking that we couldn't make it, we were thinking about going home and that kind of stuff.
Cesar saw a men in the park who was making us signs, like trying to say "come here". We walked close to the bars, he was hidden in a sledge. He said that we could try to pass between the bars, that we were "flacos" (slim). So we enter and ask him if there were more security guards and he said that no, so we start walking a little nervous and then we realize that we were already inside of Lollapalooza!!

Then we had to wait until 12 pm, at that time the doors are opened to the general public. We start to search what bands we were going to watch.
We watch some really good bands like Queen Of The Stone Age and Pearl Jam, I don't remember all the bands.

Now I haven't seen Cesar in years, it's a little sad, but sometimes I call his mom to know how is he, so this memory is very important to me...

Post 1: A place to trip!


Hello! Today I'm going to talk a little about the country which I would like to go.
It's a little complicated to choose just one place, there are a lot of beautiful and interesting places to visit, but if I have to choose just one, I supose it would be Europe, more specifically Rome. 
I have friends that were there because they made an exchange program there or close, so I watched a lot of photos of their trips. I think that Rome has a lot of cultural activities to do, related to Architecture and other topics.
My cousin was there in Rome with his girlfriend , and they went to a big Museum, there is so big that you probably can't go down all the place in one day .

Other things that I would like to do are eating different foods, probably pizza, icecream and desserts. I would probably take a lot of photos, it would be cool to have an awesome camera and not taking just from my phone (my phone takes good shots, but a camera is like a different sensation). Another thing that I would like to do, is riding on my longboard around different places of the town.

Now I really want to participate in the exchange program and go to Rome or other parts of Europe to study. I would like first to meet this place to decide to live there, but I’m almost sure that I will like to live there at least for some time. It would be interesting to live alone and experiment how it feels.

I’m trying to work in summers to have more money to do this trip on vacations or with the exchange program. I hope that the next year, or in two years more I can make it.

Presentation

Hello , I'm Mathias Neira Saavedra, I'm 22 years old and I'm in my second year studying architecture. I like a lot to practice sports like martial arts, specifically kung fu, ride on my longboard,play tennis and dance. I think that my weaknesses can be that there are some specific words that I don't know, so sometimes I don't know how to say a phrase exactly how I want to. My strength is that I feel that I talk fluently , this is because I have english since first grade in school, so I did a lot of works and presentations. I like this languaje, other languajes that I like are French and Portugues, I like the accent of these languajes , I find them "romantic".
I hope that I can earn the certification of english level, so I will give my best to do it.
My expectations of this class are that I will learn to talk more fluently, listen and write better.
