¿What can I do in my winter vacations?

Hello!

Today, I’m very happy because Mr. Simon let me free to chose the subject of this post.

Well, I have decide to talk about the plan and ideas that I want to do in my next  winter vacations. To be honest, I’m not clear in this but I have some alternatives for travel in winter vacations. For me, it would be fantastic a trip to the south of Chile, but the person who accompain me prefer to go to the north, or other place not in the south of Chile. While I prefer the south of Chile, my travel companion consider too much cold this zone and prefer to go to the north. But I don´t want to go to north of Chile because distances are so long and the landscape is monotonous. I know it is beautiful but  last summer I was here and I think that it´s enough!

Another possibility is travel to Argentina. Certainly, I don´t know enough about places in that country but I think there are routes to travel looking pretty landscapes. I have a friend that went to the north of Argentina, Salta, and he say me it is beautifull: there are hills with strange colors. Besides the landscapes, in the north of Argentina there are a cultural wealth linked to the Aymara´s communities that are in this zone. For these reason, I prefer to take the bags and cross by Andes Mountains to arrive in some village of the north of Argentina.    

¿What is your opinion? ¿Do you think like me or do you have some difference?

I’m hoping for your help!

Byeeee!

Alternatives in Santiago

HEY!
Today, I have to talk about Santiago and its main places. Ir first, I have to say I did arrive in Santiago 5 years ago. I'm a "provincial student", especifically I come from Valdivia, and it`s very important to understand my personal experiences in Santiago.
To be honest, the first time that I visited Santiago I did feeling afraid and the city seemed to me enormous. Certainly, this city is too much expansive, but not necessarily we have to feel afraid on this. When I was arriving to the bus terminal in Alameda I felt very nervous and anxious. In general, my mother accompained me on the trip because both came to Santiago to visit my sister. She has lived in Santiago 15 years ago (aproximately).
Nevertheless, now I think that Santiago is a great city, with a lot of alternatives to enjoy. The problem is the expensive costs of this enjoy, because the places to visit are not for all the people. In this sense, is so relevant the fact of the distances in the city; I think it´s problematic for people living in the periphery when they want to get the opportunities of the center. The museums, parks, and cultural activities are concentrated in the center. For example, I like to go to the Forestal Park but not all the people can do it. Also, I like to go to "Quebrada de Macul" or another places outside the urban zone. But the people in general not adventaje these near landscapes.
I think that santiago offer some alternatives that people don`t know. And, on other hand, there are many alternatives that I don´t know...obviously. But I`m happy with Forestal Park, "Quebrada de Macul" and going to soccer matches on the stadiums.

that`s all!!
see you in class!
