MY BEST HOLIDAYS


Hi there, 

On this occasion (as you saw in the title) I will tell you about my best holidays, specifically, my trip to Uruguay.

I went to Uruguay in February 2017, when I was 15 years old. I didn't go with my parents; I went with my uncles and my two cousins ​​because they made me the invitation. We stayed in the country for two weeks. And one of the things that I remember the most and I am ashamed to this day, is that the first day we arrived at customs at the Uruguay Airport I dropped my identity card!!! I did not realize, however, a person who was behind me, passed it to me (fortunately). To this day I wonder, what would have happened if I had lost it? Maybe they wouldn't even have let me in.

Take care of your identity card, please. Don´t be like me. But well, that's a very bad anecdote.

The first week of vacation we traveled to Montevideo, we stayed in a neighborhood called “Pocitos”. There we arrived at a very nice hotel, the best thing of that hotel was that it had a breakfast buffet in the morning, so I always carried provisions in my backpack. You had to take advantage, buddy.

In Montevideo we went to restaurants, museums, gardens, fairs and shopping. We also rented bikes to ride along the coast. Mostly we were dedicated to touring the city and its architectural heritage. The city was beautiful, very green and clean. The best thing is that were very few people on the street and in the malls, so when we wanted to buy in the fast food places, it was REALLY fast, because there wasn´t people, lol.

The other week we traveled to Punta del Este. The truth is I fell in love with that place, mainly because of the beaches, they were very warm and calm (Pacific Ocean could never). The center of Punta del Este was very beautiful and welcoming, all the people were very happy and at night you could go shopping and go to eat or go to a fair. The only bad thing is that everything was excessively expensive, a drink from Mc Donald’s cost three times what it costs in Chile (and coffee too).

Why was it my best vacation? I think it was because I always liked Uruguay for its political system, so I had it very idealized. However, Uruguay exceed my expectations. The country was beautiful, and the people were very nice. You could tell that there was not as much inequality as in Chile. Its people really like and care for their country and culture. Something that I really liked is that there was a lot of diversity (people LITERALLY smoked joints everywhere and in front of the Government House. Chile could never) Also, I had a great time, I really had a great vacation and we were able to do what we wanted. I want to come back one day.

P.S: the photos are not mine; I can't find them on my cell phone ☹

    Hi Alex, something similar happened to me with my identity card, but when I had to give the psu, apparently I lost it on the way home. someone found it and left it at the door of the school where he was taking the test.

    WOW I also idealized the political system of Uruguay from what I have read and heard. It's good to know the reality of a person who was there! I hope can go one day and see it

Brief Analysis of my favorite Science Fiction book: Brave New World (Un Mundo Feliz)

As you saw in the title, today I will do a brief analysis of the novel "Brave New World" (in Spanish: Un Mundo Feliz). But first, I will do a little summary. Brave New World is a novel written by Adolf Huxley and published in 1932. It is interesting to notice that Huxley wrote this novel before the periods of totalitarianism and dictatorships, however, the text is based on a totalitarianism, without this book being a criticism of these regimes. The book relates a futuristic world 632 years after a world revolution that established a "World State" where humans are created and genetically altered. In addition, when they born, they are separated into castes. These castes are designated with letters of the Greek alphabet from the Alpha (upper caste) to the Epsilon (lower caste). The castes are physically and intellectually inferior to the previous one. This in order to have people adapted to their social position, during childhood they are conditioned, in order to b...

A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

Well, hello there. As you already saw in the title, today I will tell you about a country that I would like to visit. A country that really attracts me its New Zealand. In fact, I would not only like to visit it, but also to live there. What interests me too much is its political system, its culture and its geography. I think it´s the ideal country to live. It attracted me from the moment I discovered that they followed some ideas of the social democracy and I was impressed with their way of organizing their entire system. I think the fact that they can live in a system with equality and freedom at the same time, convinces me too much. In addition, it´s one of the countries with the best happiness index and with public health and education services. As I mentioned before, culture is another topic that captivates me about New Zealand. I declare myself a “fan” that they ACTUALLY respect and appreciate their cultures too much. In fact, it is a plurinational state. I wish we co...
