El Salvadooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!


Why would I like to visit El Salvador? it's a very personal reason realy, my grandfather was born there, so he is a true Salvadoreño, my dad and aunt were born here, but I can say they are like half Salvadoreños, and in my case, just a 1/4 of my blood it's suposely from there. We are the only part of the family who lives out of there, cuase the other part has always lived in that country and I havent been there, not even once!....

What happens to me with that country it's a cross road of emotions. I never met my just mentioned grandfather because he left a long time ago and he never came back, so I din't had the chance to meet him. Even though my hole family from that side tells me that we could have been a great couple, with the same kind of jokes and a very similar personality, I think he is the one who has the fault in that and I don't have anything to do with that desition, so I never thought about visiting the other part of the family, but lately I had the oportunity to start a new relationship with them and I discovered a realy incredible family. They are kind, thoughtfull and nice with as, so I'm starting to feel that need of knowing them a little bit more.
Beside of all that, I did a research about the country and found a hole new side of it, a very colourfull place, with cheerfull people, with loud music and people enjoying it!

So if a have to do the maths, between been angry becouse of what happend years ago with people that is not even here today, or go and meet a hole new family who is ancius to meet us, I'll have to chooose the second one right??...jajajaja...you don't have to be very clever to decide it!
Beside of my personal story, I think it would be an incredible experience to go there and see this with your own eyes, dance that very diferent but good music, eat all that spicy food they prepare and try to enjoy that new culture to learn something and use it here, where people is more and more angry every day because of nothing, would you like to go with me and bring all that happiness to chilean people??? =)

The Famous Transantiago

Well...I have to asume that almost everyone who read this has travel at least once in this new and strange designed buses, couse if you haven't, you should try it, and live the experience.
In my personal case, I use Transantiago everyday to and from de Uni, commuting the buses with the underground. I think it's quite good, it's clean, safer than the old one design, a little bit more quikly and very comfortable. For example, the bus that I take almost always has an empty seat where you can study or do anything, couse belive me, it takes so long to get to the bus stop where my Uni is (becouse of the many stop it makes in the midle of the trip), that it  gives you time to do what you want to.
Beside of that, a thing that is still the same as it was before is the people who gets on the bus (without paying)and try to make money for living....and how they do it?? ... selling diferent stuff, that seems to be usefull but at the end of the day, if you buy it, you never use it!! ... like pens, minicalendars, torchs and other things, the only one that I think it's worthy is the known ice-cream or the cold juice in the midle of a hot hot day!...when you can't decrease the temperature in the bus so you just have to buy something to drink....that is very usefull!
Beside of all that, I think Transantiago manages to function in the best way that it can in this city, where nobody is never happy with anything, always finds something bad in everything, but doesn't do a thing for change it! ...think about it!
