BLOG 2: The Best Holiday Ever

One day in Concepción


The beginning of this trip was originated with an innocent request, my birthday was approaching, my sister and my mom asked me what gift I wanted (before knowing my answer I want you to know that I was only 6 years old), my answer was: a happy meal. Although it's hard to believe, in the city where I grew up there are no malls, no cinemas, much less a McDonald's. So, my knowledge about the world was limited to what I saw on television, and I remember being captivated by a commercial promoting a box that’s contain delicious food plus a toy, which my child mind interpreted as the best combination of the world.



Given such a request, and considering how far the restaurant chain was from my city, there was no other option, they have to take me to the closest metropolis to Lebu (my hometown), Concepción. This city is not characterized for being a tourist attraction, is better known for being a city that have a large number of universities and shopping centers. And my sister was studying there, so it was the ideal destination.



What I wanted was a happy meal, but my sister took me to many other places. She took me to see his university, we went to the cinema (where again they gave me the responsibility to choose between watching Wall-E or Kung Fu Panda, I choose to watch Wall-e, a decision I regretted for some time. But today I can say I did well). And obviously, we went for my happy meal.

BLOG 3: My dream job

A big dream, to become a Chef First, I would like to introduce you to the mental image that I have about food. I always enjoy food. Do not misunderstand me; I don't only talk about eating (though enjoying delicious dishes is also good); I also take pleasure in other factors, like the scent, the appearance, and the aesthetics. And I want you to pause at this term: aesthetics. This word has a strong presence in recent years (especially in other areas like clothing and lifestyle), but when I talk about food, it takes on another meaning for me. I imagine an experienced chef cooking amazing dishes with a lot of skill. For me, that is a spectacular show to watch. So, yes, my dream job was to be a chef and make people happy with the food I cook. The question is: If your dream was to become a chef, why are you studying dentistry? Well... Being a chef was a childhood dream that came to my mind after seeing characters like Remy (the name of the rat that stars in "Ratatouille," I us...

BLOG 1: Norway

 Norway: The way leading to the north Oslo   (Capital of Norway) It sounds funny, but the first time i heard about this country was in a YouTube video made by ElrubiusOMG. In that video he shows the place where he grew up, and my first impressions were a lonely city with a enormous amount of snow and numerous hills colored of green and white. For me (a person who does'nt like warm climates and prefer empty places instead of crowds), was simply perfect.  What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of Norway? Exactly! Vikings. The Viking Age takes part of the history of the country. They were characterised by they tough attitude and of course their technology. Norway across the history was categorized like a cold and infertile land (not so far from the reality) and the vikings had to adapt, hence the developent of the longship, one of the greatest solutions to the lack of suitable farming. This invention made this civilization able to explore and raid dif...
