reason.com

My favourite magazine is a paper magazine, but usually I read in the web site www.reason.com too. This magazine is written in an English language and I think that this helps me with my English knowledge. Well, this magazine has lots of articles, but the central topic is the politics and the economy of the United States of America, with the particular characteristic or political vision known as "liberal".

I like the hand for write about political topics, is very funny because they use a lot of irony when they discuss about the government situations and the policy economist in the United States.

The first time when I read the magazine (web site) I was very boring in my house, then I find the web site and I like it immediately. In this opportunity they wrote about the unsustainable war on Iraq and the bad policy of the president Bush.

In short, I think that the reason that I read reason magazine (ha ha ha) is because I'm very agree with the articles and the opinion of this magazine; in fact, I believe (same as they do) in the free minds and free markets, because I love the democracy and the freethinking, not like the blind communist totalitarians ideas or the ideas of the right wing.

Critical Error System

Well, I would like to visit Venezuela, mainly because I like the lifestyle of this country. Personally, I would like to taste the Venezuelan food because it is a fusion with other style of foods, for example, the Venezuelan food has a little of Indian food, French food, Italian food and Spanish food and all that with Latin American ingredients. This combination makes meals full of different mystical flavours. Other reason for that I would like to go to Venezuela is because the geography is very intense; moreover, I like the tropical climate (Simon says that this word is right), like the full rain with warm temperatures, for example. About the natural resources in Venezuela you can find beautiful beaches, wonderful rainforests and precious mountains and rivers, one of them is the waterfall "El Angel" with 500 meters of height, which makes this waterfall unique in his kind. Venezuela has many types (species) of animals too. Other reason why I would like to go to Venezuela is because the cities have a precious architecture with wonderful colonial and vanguard buildings. In Venezuela, what I would like to do is: fishing and going to the beach to relax. Also, I would like to fly in helicopter over a rainforest.

Post of the last semester

I study geography because I like to look at the territorial problems, also because Chile has various geographic regions and each region is very different and I like to study this variety of regions. I think that in Chile, (*) despite the big variety of geographic regions, the people don't know anything about geography. For example, (*) when we (Chilean people) have an earthquake or have a volcanic eruption the people are surprised and think that it is a punishment from the gods and not a natural process. For that reason, (*)I like to study geography. But the then (WW) more I study geography the (X)more I think that the knowledge problem is a global problem and not only in Chile, Proof of this are were (T) the victims in the natural disaster in the world, in earthquakes(WF), Volcanic Eruptions(WF), Floods(WF), mud flows(WF), Hurricanes(WF), monzón cyclones(WF), heatwaves(WF), etc.

I think that the environment problem is one, but manage the environment is the (X) another (WW) problem and I think that the geographer can help to resolve the big problem, (*) of (X) about the(*) manage the vulnerability of the people with the environment,(*) and to (T)reduce the numbers of fatalities around the world for natural disaster.

Finally,(*)I recommend a book about managing environment problems for successful and unsuccessful societies titled "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed." by Jared Diamond.

my best photography

Well, this is my best photography. I'm here with my brother, actually, on his shoulders, because I was a little kid and I had four or five years old, and my brother has fifteen year old. This photo was taken in Punta Arenas by my dad. This day was a cloudy day and I was very dirty, because I was playing in the mood and I appear all swinish. In general term, the picture is very sad and depressive, but I think that this moment was very special, because my family was meeting around it. In this photograph appears my old house in Punta Arenas, also, appears a fence and one burn plant (because the snow). Well, I remember that we (my brother and I) dressed with same clothes, on this opportunity, the woolen waistcoat was blue.  I think that we look very nice in the picture and it looks like the classic postal of the poor Chilean country (hahaha).  Finally, I have many similar photographs but I think that this is more special than the others. I will try to upload more pictures to the blog, but I won't promise anything. (last sentence is stuffing). Bye.
