Final Post # 9 - The Future

I don't know about the future…  I have some options…. I need practice English… ESL program is nice but, now, I prefer relax a few weeks and then work. I'm not sure to study other ESL. I have a work permit so I can make money in Canada, save and take a really nice vacation.  Another option is take vacation in July. I don’t know. 

Long term….. If I improve my English I will have a lot of options… small business, study a post degree…a lot of things….

Post # 8 - What's Your Medicine?

Hey there!

I’ll write about leech. I don’t know about leech. My experience with leech was read the article on the book. I think in my country is very popular other kinds of traditional medicine, for example acupuncture. I think leech is a good thing, because in USA is common and legal, but I don’t like to think about leech… I think about leech and as result I am scaring… I think leech in a body and I think in the death… Really I don’t like small animals as insects o others... leech neither. I prefer modern medicine and other traditional medicine….

Thank you

Post # 7 - Serious Fun

Hi!

 

I'll write about the games. I think that all games are good: board game, video game, traditional game and sports. In my opinion children should have balance and practice all game. They should play game with cards and video games too. I remember when I was a child, with my friends we play Nintendo (after Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64) and play soccer too, real soccer. At night we play boards games and traditional games. We play Nintendo for many hours and our eyes can't see more and we take a break and play soccer or ridding bike. In my country kids play in the streets and it is very dangerous. I prefer kids play in backyard or parks…

6 - Public Transportation

Post 6

Hi bloggers!

In Santiago, Chile, Metro is the best public transportation.  Only during rush hours is unpleasant but the passengers have patience and they are civilized.  I think the police have important things to do and we don’t need police for enforce the rules. People talk on cellphone is noisy but it isn’t terrible. There are worse things. For a better trip, people only need remember manners and basic rules of etiquette. Generally people have a good behavior but is unpleasant because are many people o temperature is very hot. In the summer, people that live in Santiago go away for holidays and Metro is empty and is very nice!

See you.

In my country the rules on the public transportation are almost similar to Canada. You can’t smoke, drink alcohol or to fight with other person, but In Canada there are any differences. For example in Chile the people can smoke in the bus stops because it isn’t closed, it is only a top for the rain and the smoke goes out. In Canada all people use headphones for listen music; in return in my country some people do not use headphones and all people around listen the music although they won’t listen it.  I think that In Canada the people understand to the immigrants and they say when a person is impolite and the immigrants learn. One opportunity I am smoking on 7^th ave and one person say me “hey friend you can’t smoke here” and I don’t smoke there again. I don’t know is true or no but I prefer don’t have problems.

Hi everyone!

I’ll write about the first option. Have you ever been the victim of a crime? Yeah! I was victim of mugging. In my country is very popular the muggings, robberies and broke into, but I have good luck and this mugging is only one opportunity of crime in my live. I was a victim but I had responsibility because I knew my country is dangerous….. What happened? Around 7 years ago, I was walking alone for a dangerous neighborhood at night maybe 3.00 or 4.00 am and 2 young men mugging me. I opposed and they began beat up me and they said that they kill me and other things… then I finished my resistance and they took my wallet. I had good luck because they didn’t take my cellphone. In my wallet I didn’t have many moola but all my documents… identification card, license drive car, etc. The justice in my country is horrible, because is very slow and with much bureaucracy… I thought to go to justice but my wallet with moola and documents had a price of 100 bux… (I thought... I need a lawyer, many time and provably never I will recover my wallet) then never went to Justice… I went for new documents and I bought a new wallet! I can get over it.

See you!

Hi bloggers!

Family day’s weekend

The past weeknd was great and boring because on Friday and Saturday I was very cold, I slept too much and I did go out of my home. Really I have been sick all this month, but Sunday and Monday I was better. Weekend was good times because I met with a friend, we went to eat in downtown.. it was delicious! We  went to pub and spoke a lot...It was extraordinary! My friend is from Spain and he is very fun and amiable. On Sunday night we celebrated my roommate birthdays. On the other hand, this weekend was very special because here the people celebrated family day. In my country we celebrate mother's day in May and father days in June. Finally I hope the next time to go to other city in Alberta... Maybe Edmonton for see Northen Lights.....

Thanks for looking.

See you!

                                      The difference of the cost of life between Chile and Canada is interesting. All things are more expensive in Canada, but the salary in Chile is 4 or 5 times less. In Chile the minimum salary is 400 dollars in a month and in Alberta provably the minimum salary is from 1800 dollars. As a result, I think that all in Chile is more expensive than in Canada. For example, a day pass in a ski resort is similar in Chile and Canada, the cars in Chile are more expensive than Canada and the gas in Chile is not cheap; A liter of gas in Canada is from 0.90 to 1.00 dolar but in Chile a liter cost is 2 dollars! The transportation have a similar cost, but in Chile is worse and slower. Accommodations in Canada are more expensive but are bigger and larger. In contrast, the only one in that in Chile is cheaper are fruits and vegetables, but all others foods have a similar price. In conclusion, in Chile all is more expensive than Canada and I think the life here is more easier than in my country. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA21OvkHLFo
