The Semester Online

Dear all, I hope you are well. In the last post of this semester I'll talk about the good, the bad and the ugly things. To start with a little smile there are some fact that are great, like the semester is almost finished. Well, I can't think more good things so I'll pass to the bad things. About this section the list is pretty longer, but I wouldn't want to extend the post too much so I´ll just tell three. The first that come to my mind are the problems that I have with my computer, for example: the connection to internet is unstable because everyday four persons must be in online classes or working, another one is that my microphone is broken so I can't talk if I have a question, the unique option is use the computer of my siblings if they aren't in classes. The second bad thing is the constant headache because of the screens, and the worst is that I can't stop to use it. The last bad thing is that geography can't go to fieldwork, something that is ver...

Books

Hi everyone, how are u??? Well, about the topic of this week I want to say that the last book that I read was in March, because of the classes I hadn't been able to read more. Actually, I have pending two books unu. Whatever, how I was saying, the last book that I read was "Como agua para chocolate" by Laura Esquivel, and it was very interestining. That book my mom recommended to me so I would recommend to you all. Like this one, I like the books that are close to the reality (not fantasy pls). In fact, two of my favorite books are part of this kind: "El secreto de sus ojos" by Eduardo Sacheri, and "El Túnel" by Ernesto Sábato. Another book of this type that I want to recommend because of the context is "La Peste" by Albert Camus, it's good to think about the confinement. Relative to authors I don't have favorite, because I think everyone have good and bad books. But, if I must to choose I would said Alberto Fuguet or Roberto Bolaño. ...

A subject I've enjoyed

Hi everyone, I hope you are well. Today I'm going to write about the most interesting subject that I've cursed this semester. For me is too complicated to choose at least one, because it wasn't atractive to have virtual classes this year. But, if i have to decide one, I would choose Cultural Geography. The main goals for this subject is knowing Cultural Geography, thinking Cultural Geography and doing Cultural Geography. With this in mind, the teacher try different contents along the semester, all of this based on two principal lectures: "Las fronteras del discurso geográfico: El tiempo y el espacio en la investigación social" (Aliste & Nuñez) and "Los fundamentos actuales de la geografía cultural" (Claval). An examples of the most important contents are: the concept of time and space as subjectivities based on the reason, the eurocentrism, language as tool and object of study and the differences between natural and social order. Is very important un...

My bucket list

Hi everyone, I hope you're all healthy. In my opinion, is very hard to try thinking a list of materials objects or future goals that I want to complete. Currently, the first that come to my mind is to survive to the epidemic, for me and for all my people. I think we all know that is an extreme position, but because of how is managed the state of catastrophe by the current administration is a very reasonable position. After this traumatic situation, the first that I want to do is take my bike and ride to Plaza Dignidad with my panas, here we going to protest against the government, against the police (ACAB), against Piñera ( renuncia paoql ). Because of all the time that passed, the most probably second thing that I would do is to get drunk with my panas.  In the moment, there is not any other activity in my mind, so I hadn't done any of them. Well, maybe I got drunk with my brother and sister, but isn't the same. I know this is not a very positive post, that is because I...

IDE

Hello everyone! Today I wanna give you a very useful website to get different layers of territorial information from Chile. The website called IDE ( http://www.ide.cl/ ) have a broad range of database to develop your own cartography. Each time I need a spatialization of a place to research a phenomenon arround it I search IDE in Google, and that is all. In the last time, I visited this website more often than anytime. What I like of IDE's website is its easy access and how you can use it. Normally, I used to use the IDE geoportal: "Visor de Mapas", but if isn't working very well my internet, I prefer to download the territorial information that I need. This is very easy because the page is organized in different categories of layers like limits and borders, flora & fauna, society, economy or climate and atmosphere, to say some of a large list that you have to visit.

Roberto, the duck

    On this summer I travelled around the south of Chile. My first station was Valdivia and the crossing to arrive to there was awful. I was waiting with my friends Pedro and Pablo in the Chillán's bus station a bus that traveled from Talca to Puerto Montt (one stop was in Valdivia of course). We were there 4-5 hours more or less because the bus was late and, maybe you know, Chillán is so f*** hot in summer, so was horrible. The way was worse, supposedly  we were arriving at 9 PM, but because there were to many stops and because of the traffic we arrived at 12 PM. I don't know what crossing was the worst, our crossing or the crossing of my friend Agustín, who was waiting for us in Valdivia 5 hours. When we arrived, we had to look a place to camping (at 12 PM!!), for good luck we found a place not to far (but very expensive tot). The next day, we woke up in the camping, because of a weird sound, when I opened the tent the first that I see was a duck! After that, I took thi...

My favorites series

Well, is very complicated to choose ONE serie as my favorite, because I think I become a bit crazy when a serie like to me haha. If you don't believe that I fell the obligation to confess that in a month I can see two or three short serie more or less. The first serie I saw was Dr. House and I love it. It´s about the craziest and smartest doctor in LA, who have to save patients with awful diseases. Another great serie that I saw was Dexter, that it's about a serial killer who work as forensic for the police department. Actually, there are two amazing series in Netflix I'll recomend you, that had not finished yet. The first one is Vikings and the second one is Peaky Blinders, whose historic ambiance are fantastic; just see it. A kind of serie that I love is anime serie, like Naruto, Shingeki no Kyojin, Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, to say something. In this moment, I'm watching Kimetsu no Yaiba and Inuyasha, and then I would like to see Jojo's Bizarre Adventure or...
