My presentation: Selknam people

Hello dear, today I will tell you about the presentation that on Wednesday May 10, my topic was about Selknam, its culture, its customs and its history.
I chose this theme because I have always been struck by the presence of the different native peoples of Chile and these for me are very important, since it generates a lot of curiosity about the original people, how they adapt to their environment and how they organized their Life in society. I think the Selknam are a great example of the cultural diversity that existed in Chile a few centuries ago.
For the preparation of my subject and some previous knowledge, but complements with the search for information on the Internet, what I want to highlight is the importance of knowing the history of our indigenous peoples and the roots of a people. Then I focused mainly on their customs, culture, belief and extermination, despite that I omitted much information regarding a way of life, and the story of how the colonizers arrived in Tierra del Fuego, since it was a lot Information, very difficult to remember for me.

I had a great time preparing this presentation :)
I hope you enjoyed it

A Piece of art: The Starry Night of Vincent Van Gogh

Hello everyone, today I will talk about an artwork that I like a lot and the first one that came to my head, I even thought later on if there was another that I liked so much and definitely not, so my favorite artwork is "The Starry Night "a masterpiece of the post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh. The painting shows the exterior view during the night from the window of the sanatorium of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, where he was secluded towards the end of his life. However, the work was painted during the day, by heart. It dates from the middle of 1889, thirteen months before van Gogh's death. Since 1941 it has been part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.       The Starry Night, (1889). This piece of art I have known since very small because it is very famous and I always considered it wonderful because it shows a painting with "movement" and many effects that go out of the ordinary with what I was accu...

A job

Hello my friends, today I will talk about some work experiences I have had and the work I would like to have in the future. Throughout my life I have had 3 jobs. My first job was obtained at the age of 18 in a coffee shop and gelatería called "Santogelato". This is a company that is located in some sectors of Chile and sells ice cream of machine, coffee, churros, etc. This work was in the summer season, from December to February, I worked full time and resigned, then I needed work again and I went back to the same company in which they accepted me again and I worked the months of July and August of 2014 until I resigned because I could not stand any more or my companions, nor attend the public (lolajajaja attending customers was the most stressful). This job was a nice experience since it helped me to start in my working life .... After that, in 2015 I worked in the fast food chain KFC, but in that place I only lasted a day, since I never felt welcomed and also, I expl...

A journey

Hello dear bloggers, today I will write about a trip that I would like to realize ... This is a very difficult decision for me, since the places I have dreamed of knowing are many, but if I have to choose, today I choose to talk about Ecuador. Ecuador, the country of the center of the world, is a very interesting place, it is a country that has a great natural and social wealth. I would like to go to Ecuador to see places like the "monument to the center of the world", in Quito, where the Ecuadorian line is, there are also beautiful beaches like Montañita, where there is a lot of party and I love that. There are also other places like “Baños de Agua Santa”, the City of Cuenca or even part of the Amazon. (A really diverse place). I would go to Ecuador for adventure with my friends, to party, meet other travelers and of course, to know its natural beauty, its culture and its people. I think that making this trip is not so expensive, maybe, the most expensive is to buy a pl...
