Transantiago

About our public system of transport “Transantiago, the new face of Santiago” I think that is better at least two aspects than its predecessor (the system of traditional yellow buses). The first aspect is about environment contamination: Transantiago is less noisy and pollutant and the second aspect is about the pleasure that produce see it maybe this sounds some exaggerated but I believe that Transantiago yes give to Santiago a new face with more variability of color and less messy (those buses looked if it sold separately with seats in bad conditions, without lights inside or with a string instead of a bell).

But Transantiago also has worse aspects than the previous system for example now you must combine different routes or means of transport as the underground and bus for arriving at your destination. If well maybe someone considerate this aspect it isn’t a radical problem but rather a problem of custom. I think it is a problem in the most of cases because before Transantiago the routes or trips in general were more direct than nowdays. Addition have decreased the number of routes and machines by routes and if this be little exists a big frequency problem at some opportunities two, three or four buses of the same route pass one after other, late doesn’t pass anyone to until half hour or fourty five minutes more. And Its seats are so uncomfortable especially those that are on wheels.

Before Transantiago you knew that busses would pass but now you can’t be sure also you had a lot of different chances of travel for example if I had start study when yet existed the pre-transantiago system I had can toke four different routes for arriving to university. But now I depend completely of underground and the approach buses. Uf! And is better don’t speak about the underground (always it is crowed and people push and push you).

Transantiago has changed from its begin to actual status, now is better because have increase the quantity of buses (but it isn’t enough yet) and have been amplied. For improving Transantiago I think that is necessary increase the number of buses by routes, improve the indications in the bus stop and check the wait time. The last thing before finishing this post, I don’t understand why doesn’t open the first door that has the advertisement only for crippled persons or of third age.

A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT

I would like to go Brazil mainly because I feel curious for the Brazilians and their life style and too I would travel across natural exotics places. When I watched Up! (The animation film) I felt an uncontrollable wish for travelling in especially to a country where there are exotics natural areas.
Who don’t hear about “the biggest country of the world”? Is famous for its carnivals (specially by The Carnival of Río), its soccer selection and its people (good for singing bossa nova and dancing samba).
Only I know about its food is that exist some kiosks where you can buy a corn cob and season it as I season a hot-dog. And also sell any topical fruit and its respective juices.
If well there rain frequently but the sun doesn’t stop of shinning, I think that is a nice and refreshing combination.
My girlfriend and one of her friends went to Brazil the last summer. And her commentaries and pictures describe at least the place that they visited as beautiful and quiet. They say than you can see a big spider, birds of a lot of colors, a mouse so big as a cat,
Finally I want to add that I would like no just visit it, I would like to live there. I want to study a post degree there at Federal University of Río de Janeiro, related with Public health. But always I think that if I go to other country to live after a decade I would return to Chile for making some contribution to develop the quality of life with knowledge and the most important with a new attitude front to life.
I want to try their style of life, more community (at least mi girlfriend describe thus the behavior of residents and tourists of the Island that her visit).

My last term

Three weeks ago I went back to study at university after a couple of vacation's weeks. With new courses and the new experience of going to a different faculty is more easy to refer my last semester. Because now I can weigth the appropriateness of my last courses.

In general the last term was difficult for me, mainly by my doubts about the speciality than I chose.I wasn't concentrate in my courses so I didn't study enough, I spent my time imagine where I would be if I had chose other speciality.

I learnt the most important indicators for estimating sex and age (from human skeletal remains)in , this activities constitute the basic knowlodges than a physical anthropology should know.

I'm not sure if correct at least in my case to do the difference betwen free time and study or academic time, becouse when I had to study I went to a walk with my dog or I visited my girlfriend. And after that I spent a lot of nights studying or doing works than was for the next day.

Late I realized than it was damaging for my physical and mental health. If well I had various courses than don't interest me and also they were very hard, It was my fault got bad final marks and lost some kilograms of weigth.

The best thing of my last semester was to know that I rely on a great little course.
