Manchester & Barcelona

-

    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 as a very big influence on the music industry in the 20th century. 
    I would like to be able to visit this important place in modern history.


    Both places are my favorite destinations when I finish my career here in Chile.

    What about you? Wich are your favourite places to visit?

    The fact that the classes are spoken in spanish is already a great relief, I hope that one day you will be able to go study there, the truth is that I have never heard of ethnography before so I will do a little research on it.

"Surprise, they're not sea spider"

     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 themselves with their surroundings, clinging to ston

     Hello again, in this post, apparently the last one, I will talk about a topic that I love. It won't be the music this time. It will be a theory that I have been studying for almost 4 years: the "chaos theory" or better known as "the butterfly effect". The theory explains that every event can trigger even bigger events, giant consequences with other people, facts or things. Have you ever heard the phrase "everything happens for a reason", well, chaos theory would explain that premise.      How? Let's say I decide not to write this blog, my mark is deficient in English and I will have to repeat the course next semester, I will not have a free scholarship, therefore I will have to leave the university.       It ends up in uncontrollable events over time. This, on a small scale, is even more complicated when studying on a global scale, where everything that happens in Australia could have repercussions in Europe, how? who knows.The way to explain

     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 something that became my day-to-day.
