Moribvs: Non-Moribas; Yep-Moribus

     In my fourth blog, I will talk about one of my favorite animals: octopus.       The octopus is a marine animal with eight limbs, three hearts and a brain, however, it has no bones, it is an invertebrate. It is an animal that has many ways of escaping from its predators, given its limbs and its great intelligence. In addition to using his eight "arms", he also uses his ink tank to escape from his adversaries, such as marine predators or human predators. They feed on smaller animals, such as molluscs and algae.  Although it is assumed that they are sea spiders, because of their "eight arms", there are actually six arms and two legs, one of which is their reproductive organ that helps them to mate with females of the same species.       Personally, I love octopuses. Their shape, their skills and their varied species, are what catch my eye the most.  There are octopuses that, to escape their predators, camouflage the...

     On my third post, I want to talk about something I really love, music. Although in the second post I already talked about something similar, I prefer to give a complete post to music in general.      Personally, it's one of the things that motivates me, keeps me happy or even makes me sad sometimes. I think that's the idea of music, that it transmits emotions. I can tell you that every day I listen to music, whatever it is.      Although I have many musical tastes, I always look for new wave, lo-fi, post-punk and what is known as "indie" music.  It's funny that the days when I don't listen to music (to read, to study, to do jobs, to cook or just to listen), are my worst days, bad things happen to me or I feel worse.      It has become a habit: to listen to music every day because makes me happy; at any time, at any moment, if there is music, I am happy. Even as I write this I'm listening to music, it's really someth...

     This is my second post, this time I will talk about the best concert I attended during the last months of last year. I only refer to "the last months of the year" because during that time I attended many musical events called "tocatas" which makes the list a bit long.      On November 21, 2019, I attended the Interpol concert at the Caupolican Theatre in Santiago. I went with two friends and we really had a good time.      Interpol is a band from New York, with a musical style called "post-punk revival": sounds similar to those of bands like Joy Division or The Cure years ago, but with a more modern sound.      The concert was something wonderful, the atmosphere generated by the lights, the smoke, the small space and a big "disco" ball on the roof made everybody feel in a concert full of melancholy.       An anecdote that I remember very well, was the way in which an atmosphere of protest was maintaine...

     In my first post, I want to talk about the countries I want to know about. There are two of these countries, one of which is for academic purposes. This country is Spain, the city I want to know is Barcelona, its university is my goal.      The other one, because I want to know the life in that place, the infrastructure and all their history and culture: Manchester, U.K.      Why Barcelona? Mainly because of its university. Although it's not one of the best universities in the world in relation to anthropology, it is about ethnographic study, which I want to be part. Although Catalan is spoken in Barcelona, classes are also given in Spanish, so adapting to the language is not a problem.      Why Manchester? It is a city that "calls me a lot", being my main destination when I want to decide where I want to travel when I have money.  It is a very important city for the industrial revolution in the 19th century, as well ...
