Let`s go to China!


I would like to go to China because I love all the culture over there. There are a lot of different food and condiments; I would like to know about how to cook it. Also I would like to learn a little of Chinese and about all the ceremonies that they do, like the tea ceremony. I know that China is a difficult country because the people are very shy and it is a communist country so they are worried about what kind of people travel there. I also know that they are very worried about the manners because they are people who respect each other with a respectfull attitude. If I were in China I would like to visit all the monuments and the historical places like palaces and beautiful gardens. And how I say at the beginning I would try all the food because I really love the things that they do, like use different ingredients from us and weird condiments. I am not scared about trying new food because I learn that we have to try everything we can in this life. I would like to live there for a while, not for a long time; just the enough time to learn some of the culture. I would like to live there and have long walks for all the places of China, even the unknown little villages.

The last semester

This year, during the first term of 2010, I made my third semester in the University of Chile in the carrer of Anthropology. I liked this semester because I had a lot of theoretical courses and I loved it. I learned about Materialism and Linguistics. The importance of these courses is that when I work I will put into practice all this theories on the reality. So I will help the people but with knowledge. I didn`t do any sport because I didn`t have time and also because I wanted to do sports this semester to prepare myself for the summer. The challenges that I had to face were to learn things that I didn`t like, for example I hate Prehistoric because the professor wasn`t a clear person. Besides, I didn`t like “Etnohistoria” because we had to read and comment all the time, we didn`t do anything else so it was very boring and monotonous. With my family the year was a little difficult because we had a few problems but now we are working as a team and we share all our problems and find a solution. My family was the most important support for the last semester because they always helped me when I was stressed or sad. The last semester was very hard but I feel that it shows me that I can beat a lot of difficulties with a little help from my friends (and family).
