My favorite food

Well, I love food. In fact, I can’t remember any food that disliked me, so choose a favorite dish is no easy at all. I think that the Chilean plates could be my favorites; ‘’humitas’’, ‘’porotos’’ and cake of corn are delicious. They like me a lot because remember me the south. Every time I go to my grandma’s house (near to Concepción) I eat at least one of that plates, and they are always fantastic, I don’t know if it is because of the touch of my grandma, the magic of the south, or the recipe are just good (maybe because of all) . When I eat them here in Santiago, it’s like been on the south (and I love the south). I also like the pastas, especially raviolis and lasagna. The last time I saw a lasagna I literally devoured it, all the tray. Lasagna is one of the favorites food of my mom too, so every time we go to a restaurant we order a big lasagna for the two of us.  Ironically, I don’t know how to cook any of those plates, and not because I don’t like to cook (I like it a lot), it’s just that my specialty are the desserts. I can make lemon pie, cakes, mousse of many flavors and varieties of cookies.  Anyway, my dad it’s an excellent chef, so I can ask to him to make any food I want J  

PET Practice

1.-

Well, it wasn't very difficult (i almost get the 100% of good answers), but there was a few words that I didn't know, so I couldn't choose the good answer. Also, in the second activity, there were a lot of different texts, so I was a little confused with all the information.

2.-

First of all, I must say that I can’t believe that there is no place of Chile in this list. Also, I already said my reasons to go to Machu Picchu in another post, so I will take other place. I will like to go to Chichen-Itzá, on Mexico, because I will like to visit all the countries in America (including my beautiful Chile, in all him extension), before to go to places in the other continents. I’m really curious about the culture of Mexicans aborigines, and maybe Chichen-Itzá can help me.

3.-

 The English is one of the most popular languages in the world. As a future professional is important to learned it because can help me in the relations with my colleagues, especially if I have the lucky of go to some congress in another country. Also, right now as a student, it helps me when I have to study from some English source (articles, by example). I will like to learn about popular terms using by the people who talks in English (like the ‘’cachai’’, ‘’po’’, etc. here in Chile).

Pets

I have two beautiful pets. Both of them are dogs, one is a puddle (male) and the other is a beagle (female). I didn’t choose them names, my family did it! All my family except me! And they decided to call Luna to the beagle and Mateo to the puddle.  Mateo join to the family the Christmas of 2008 (If I’m not wrong) and he came like a Santa’s present, he was so little and he cried a lot. I was the first in make contact with him, and he received me as him father. Since there he gives me all him loyalty and obedience.  With Luna was a little different. One day, my father just came with her in his arms, without any reason. He just takes her to our home.  I think that the loyalty is very important in a relationship with a pet. Because of that I prefer Mateo before that Luna, he always follow me wherever I go and obeys me every time I give him an order, and the most important thing, he always want love. Luna, in the other side, is the most stubborn dog in the world, she is indifferent and bored. Even with that, I’m the only one in my family who prefers Mateo. Anyway, I love both of them.

About exotic pets, mm...i'm not really interested on them, but will be cool have some strange fish in an aquarium in the future..i don't know

My favorite sport

My favorite sport is football soccer. I don’t know why, I like it since I have memory.  When I was a little boy I get into the academy of soccer of Universidad de Chile.  I achieved to be captain of the team, win a few trophies and travel for some places. Even we appeared in an album of the Liga Chilena, and some posters with my face on it were given in the subway inviting to join to the academy.  Then I had to choose between the sport and the study, and considering that in Chile is really difficult arrive to professional football, I decide continue with my studies.  However, I still play football (I and will do it since I lose my legs) for the college and with my friends (two or three times for week at least). My favorites teams are U. de Chile, Manchester City and Roma. In Roma there is one of my idols: Francesco Totti. This legend has been 26 years defending the same team!! Even with millionaire’s offers of other clubs, he always says no!  That is loyalty. I love this game; I can’t explain the passion that I feel when I play it. I will never get bored of soccer. 

Holidays

My best holidays ever were during  the summer of this year. I was lucky enough to just spend December, and a few days of January here in Santiago . I say lucky because Santiago during the summer is just really boring. I went to the south of Chile hitch-hiking for almost a month with my friends, visiting a lot of little towns on there. We were like fish, because we swam a lot in all the lagoons and rivers, and also we meet a lot of beautiful forests and bird. We usually were sleepy, thirsty, hungry or sweaty, but all the amazing persons, landscapes, sunsets, adventures and the friends we made there make those holidays the best that I ever had (so far). This year I will go for more experiences like that.

Places to visit

I will like to visit all the South American countries, but my nearly objective is Peru, because I have friends that have made that trip already and they recommend me to do it as well.  I don’t know much about it (that’s also one of my reasons to go), but friends have told me beautiful things about the culture there. Machu Picchu is a world heritage site, and a beautiful place to go. I would like to walk a lot, meeting people and talking to them about the customs. The Peruvian Amazonas is also a place that I would like to visit (I’m a really adventurist guy, by the way) and share with the people of the zone, make money with friends playing music in the street (they appreciate that kind of ‘’art’’, not like here in Chile) and with that money buy the food and the rest of my needs, because I don’t have enough money to pay that and also the passage.
