My animal favorite


My favorite animal is the camel, but the species that I admire is the bactriciano. The reasons why I love so much are:
First, its slow journey inspires me tranquility. I get the impression that when walking, it enjoys the landscape that covers. Their big eyes and long eyelashes give an impression of tenderness in its face, furthermore its enormous figure doormat remind me a teddy bear or giant dog.
To this animal I met him when I went to the zoo Metropolitano. The reason of the visit was to do a research on animal welfare on different species such as carnivores, herbivores, birds and ungulates, and on this last topic I chose him because it was alone in its yard. Its face of sadness and its mouth with slobber, moreover that when I took to photographs it was placed near the photograph camera and at camel liked that I make cuddle in its ears. All this happened led me to love to this animal so lovely.
To finish its most important features. The camels live in Middle Eastern countries, mostly living in Somalia. It provide to the people with milk, food and transportation. Camels do not keep water in their humps as is commonly believed. The humps have fatty tissue. It is relatives of the South American camelids, the llama, alpaca, guanaco, and vicuña. The average life expectancy of a camel is 40 to 50 years.
Their mouth is very sturdy, able to chew thorny desert plants. Long eyelashes and ear hairs, together with sealable nostrils, form a barrier against sand. Their gait and their widened feet help them move without sinking into the sand.

The secret life of seahorses



It is surprising that a seahorse that it has the size of palm of your hand, it can show us peculiar characteristic s. Features like a pair the eyes that turn and a prehensile tail. For its beautiful appearance, they are endangered. But the most wonderful characteristics is the sex life of the seahorse. First, it is nose-to-nose. Second, wrapping its tails, both do a dance together and later swim head with its heads down. Finally, forming a heart with its touch snouts and bellies and the joint of their tails. It courtship may be for long hours, risking itself lives.
Of the female emerge a tube since its belly that penetrate to male, passing liquid with eggs. Therefore are the males who care to its sons during all the time that the pregnancy. It example of reproduction don´t is same to the mammals, because in it, is of female who feed to its pups in the womb.
Other curious date, is that the great majority of female seahorse are loyal to its couples, despite that the male is who is in pregnancy. The seahorses are monogamous in the breeding season, sometimes the couples, get back together again in the year following.

I am not from Santiago, therefore I cannot speak much of this one, but if to recommend any interesting places that me have pleased of it.

This place possesses numerous alternatives as going to the zoo and to observe the original fauna of Chile and of other countries, to this enclosure him one adds the funicular ones that use for transport.
In addition, in the top of the hill one finds an enormous statue of the virgin, which is part of the religious culture of Chile (the great majority of the Chileans are catholic). Hitherto it is possible to come in different transport as bicycles, afoot, in car and one of most entertaining, they are the cable railway.
In the surroundings there are binoculars, from which it is possible to have the great one panoramic of the city. There they find restaurants of high prestige, and small business, but also it is possible to realize a field day, since there are tables to do picnic.
Handcrafted fair Santa Lucia, it is a good place to know part of the Chilean culture. Many craftsmen meet to offer diverse products typical of the diverse zones of the country, such as jackets of wool of alpaca (north zone), jeweler's shop Mapuche (south zone) etc.
Lastarría is a street in which they have installed numerous places dedicated to the gastronomy, preferably there are coffees(cafés), each one betting on a different alternative in his setting as for example romantic style, of the eighty, contemporary, Arabic etc. Besides one famous ice-cream parlour called Emporium The Rosa, who offers ice creams with exclusive flavors of the shop, one of the most exquisite, petals of rose and chocolate pepper.

To be A Chilean is more that to have born in Chile, is to feel self identified with your culture, with the environment that surrounds it, beside to be a participant of the development of the country.
The being Chilean is considered to be, on one hand, like a person who is very compromised by what wants. She is a good person, hurts with the foreign suffering, is very sentimental.
On the other hand, abroad he is considered to be a thief, sluggishly and unpunctual.
The Chileans should to be proud of our land, of the environment that surrounds us. Chile to the being very long country, has varied environments for example in the North the desert, at east the mountain, at West we have the sea and in the South a rainy weather, moreover of Isla de Pascua, and other island. Too we have diverse cultures, as Atacameños, Mapuches etc,
We have our own music and dance, like the music Andina, the Cueca, la Guaracha, La Tirana and more and also we have a delicious food. We have a lot of benefits of which we can take advantage for the tourism.
We have that to be ashamed about the characteristics that I mentioned in the previous point.
This year didn´t affect me directly On September 11. Every was very calm in The Pintana, at least in the morning. It affected me indirectly, since they closed early the supermarket more of the habitual.
I think that September 11 is one day which it is necessary to remember as any other milestone in the history of Chile.

Transantiago


I don´t know the pre- Transantiago system. They have said to me that before the Transantiago system was very dangerous for the drivers, because the thieves were aggressive, get up to the locomotion they caught the money of the tickets, they were using weapon to intimidate them as pistols, knives etc. The good is that now it doesn´t happen, since the drivers don´t handle the money.
The other hand, before there were more tours, now with the modifications, many people they have to walk big distances to go up the autobus that before was taking near your house or to take many transfers.
I still didn´t arrive to Santiago to study when was the change of the system of transport, but have said to me that when began the Transantiago, the buses were going replete with people, that even they to went out of the doors since the traffic was slightly frequent, in addition the subway also it was saturated of persons. Nowadays this situation has been regularized, because they have added new routes, besides more number of buses.
It would add mas centers where to be able to load the bip and that these should be located in the populations since many are in the subway staying far from the alcanze of the persons who live more to the periphery so it would diminish the frequency of the people who doesn´t pay.
If a purse is placed in the bus it would get back to have the assaults to the drivers.
I would lower the value the ticket of the adults.
I think that it is a good system of transport, since there is a lot of information that indicates the tours and schedules, in addition the bus has very much space and the drivers already don´t so fast.

who let the dogd out?

is very funny!

My favorite country


I woull like go to France, because is a country woderfull. France has Architecture very old. I admire the Gothic style like Chartres, Amiens and Notre Dame, furthermore its style rococo like the Palace of Louvre and finally, the most spectacular, the Eiffel Tower made by Gustavo Eiffel. I like so much that I drew it. In addition, the French idiom I associate it with the romanticism, as well as ˆPepe le Pewˆ (stinking mofeta of looney tunes).
The things that I know of France but not near, has been some French, Therefore a little your idiom. Moreover I know movie very famous that calling ˆLe monde fabuleux d'amelie poulainˆ, it is mi favorite movie. A thing that I know of the French gastronomy is the Champagne, but the original must be thousand richer compared with the that is done in Chile.
My dream is to take a cup of coffee looking at the Eiffel Tower, (and that some day I will do it, I can´t not live it). As well as I want to rise to the Eiffel Tower. Others things that I would like to do is to be a spectator of Tour of France and the Round of Roland Garros.
I would like to do three things: to work, to study and to live there. One of the motives of to study is because in Toulouse arose the first school of veterinary therefore must be to the forefront of many topics of Medicine Veterinary.
