About the News

The "Chilean Contemporary Art Fair" known as Ch.ACO has been inaugurated one more time this year. It was inaugurated in September 28th until October 1st.
Where?, Well, It was open at the Estacion Mapocho Cultural Center in the capital, located in Alameda Avenue near to the Universidad de Santiago's subway station, in Santiago de Chile.

The exhibition has a collection of works from thirty galleries. Besides, those works are from different countries. The article, also says that this event is the most important in its kind in all the country... but I'm not agree with that.
Overall, the director of Ch.Aco, called Elodie Fulton, thinks that the most important thing in this exhibition, is that is a massive event considering that the organizers expect more than 50.000 visits during the five days.

In my opinion, I think Ch.ACO is a good way to show art to the people but, what kind of art it shows?...some people think that is contemporary art and others think it's only decorative art and a good oportunity to sell your work in the highest prices (because there you can also buy art works, yes! shopping like in the supermarket!). And talking about prices, the price of the admission was really expensive...I think because of that the organizers were so excited haha.

As I said previously, I'm not agree that this exhibition of art is the most important in the country, I didn't know about it until this year and this is the fourth year since Ch.ACO was inaugurated for the first time. I haven't seen advertising about Ch.ACO or anything like that...And there are a lot of more exhibitions in Santiago and in regions as important as Ch.ACO is considered, and the entrance is totally free, galleries where you can see really good art too.

My best friend

I'm not sure if I can say "My best friend is..." because I have many best friends. There is a group of girls and I have my best friend group of boys, too.
On one hand, I met the girls in my first highschool, called San Ignacio School, when I was in 8 grade and we were classmates until we were juniors. On the other hand, I went to another highschool were I became friend of the boys classmates.

I met the girls when I was exactly 13 years old and the boys when I was 16 years old. Now I'm 23 and I'm glad to be friend of all of them, because until now we keep in touch and considering we've been friends during 10 and 7 years, respectively... How time flies!!.

Also, everytime I go to Viña del Mar I visit them, we hang around, go to parties together, we cook (pizza, barbecue, hamburgers or sushi) and things like that. The good part is that in my past birthdays the both group met each other and now we are all friends.

I think I consider them my best friends because they know me just how I am, they've been almost the half of my life being my very best friends. They have supported me when I have been sad or angry. Besides, I think people we meet during our lifes make some changes in our personality, sometimes they help you to grow up, to have experience, to give some advices and to learn. And my friends have done that.

There are a lot of best memories that I have of them, for example some jokes when we were in highschool or when we started to party. Those were funny days. Also, we went on vacations all together (boys and girls) to Olmué during February of this year just to relax some days.... and now, with my girls best friends we are planning to earn money to visit another friend who lives in Sweeden (she left almost 4 years ago), but I think It will pass a lot of time until we made it, but it's possible, anyway.

My Best Holidays

Hi there again, lovely readers!
Today I'm going to talk about my best holidays...
I remember when I was 21 years old in the year 2010, my dad decided to take a break on summer vacations...he was a little tired of working and needed a rest during February. So, he decided to buy tickets to Mexico for all my brothers and sisters and finally, we got there!, at the Riviera Maya. We also traveled with my brother-in-law Javier, who is a very funny guy.

In spite of the tiring trip, the first day we arrived we had a great day, starting with some tequilas at the hotel...hehehe. Anyway, during those days we went to the Pyramid of Kukulcan, one of the beautiful ruins of the Mayas. Also, those ruins are one of the "Wonders of the World" and when you see them, you realize why they are! Really amazing.
Moreover, we went to X-caret, a theme park very entertainment..And one of the things that I liked more about it, was one place full of guacamayos and flamencos walking everywhere. Besides, we swam in a underground river and cenotes. I have to say that water was amazing, you can see all the fishes swimming by your side.

Well, we did a lot of more things, but if I write them all, this post will be a long story.
I think there are a lot of reasons why this holidays has been the best..First of all, I had a lot of fun with my family, no worries, we ate great good (and a loooot too), we spent time together and we went to pretty places and met very nice people (mexicans are great).

At last, here is a picture of my family and I when we were swimming at the underground river in Xcaret.

A country I would like to visit

It’s hard to decide what country I would like to visit, because there are so many countries that I like. But to talk about one of them I would choose Spain. Why? Because It is a country of beautiful cities full of all kinds of arts and culture.

About this country, I know that Spain has some the more ancient cave paintings in the whole world, there are archeological deposits that were created between 30.000-50.000 years b.C. As well, It has a lot of museums with very important paintings of famous painters around the world.

And I would love to visit the museums, like El Prado museum, El Greco, or the Romanticism National Museum, and there are so many more!. Also, I’d visit the Canary Islands because of its beaches and attractive landscapes. And of course, I’d go to see the amazing Santiago de Compostela Cathedral.

I don’t know If I would study in Spain, but It’s not a bad idea considering all the things related with arts that Spain has. One of the good things is that in almost all the country they speak Spanish, as us, so It wouldn’t be a problem to communicate with people, and that experience can help you anyway.
