a beatifull morning

My childhood was very nice, a period full of joy and games. Problems were daily as a homework or fight with my friends. But, I think one of the best periods of my life is before to go to school, when I had nothing to do: I got up and played or watched TV.

One of my favorites memories is a day when I was child – when I was 4 years old –: I was waking up and I saw how the sun “peeked” through the curtains. When I remember this moment, I feel peace, because there were not concerns or tasks therefore I could enjoy each second. Also, the scene of the sun enters with subtlety gives a special touch: the nature always is outside waiting for you. I think that for this idea for me is a habit to open the curtains every morning when I got up, of this form I said hello to sky. This memory is special, too, because my home was quiet and were not my two eldest sisters (she were in the high school in that moment), and my mother was silent because she wanted that I sleep. 

To this morning when I child, I can say that exist others mornings where I wake up and I fell my mother cleaned the living, or I wake up and the first that I feel was a smell of the lunch that my mother cooking in the kitchen.

Of these memories, I rescue the how I enjoyed and feeling every detail to that edge. One smell, one ray of light, one sound, one smile fills my hearth and it shuddered all my body. Also, this wake made me think that every days exist something new that discovery because every time that you open yours eyes, that be an reborn, an revival.

Santiago of Chile

I think that Santiago city isn't a place very attractive, however are many places nice that can you visit.

            A place safety pin, from my point of view, is the “Cerro San Cristóbal”, because this is in the center of the city and offers different options of activities to do in a day like the zoo, swimming pools, visit to Virgin´s shrine, and area of picnic.

            I believe that an activity must make foreign tourists is visiting the cultural centers of Santiago, such as theaters, exhibition centers and museums, because they can find information about our country and people, and because this places are scarce in other parts of Chile.

            From my point of view and experience, the places than a tourist can not miss, are:

1.- Cerro San Cristóbal at the aforementioned.

2.- Visit of “Cajón del Maipo”: although this is not in the Santiago city, is a highly accessible location for all age groups that want connect with nature. Is south of the center city, in the Andes. The site offers quiet places, picnic areas, swimming pools, camping sites and even extreme sports.

3.-  “Parque O¨Higgins”: is a large park near the center of Santiago, which provides recreational opportunities for a person or the whole family. Also inside is the Fantasilandia amusement park, a chance to entertain and relax in the games.

4.- “Parque Quinta Normal”: also located near the center of Santiago, in the sector northwestern. It is a place to walk, to enjoy of the nature and to share in family. Inside is the Museum of Natural History, an interesting place.

            All places mentioned are, in essence, to escape the city and being the nature.

5.- Finally, “Plaza de Armas”: located in downtown Santiago. It is a place to meet older architecture of city, so is the square around it is a historical site of the beginnings and development of this capital. 

The mapuche conflict

                The mapuche conflicy have been very years in our country and even already was in the momento of independence of Chile. In general, the mapuche are knowed like a warlike people owing to they constantly are part of conflict politics, and they have showed your convictions with segurity and have fougth for keep their culture, in specially customs, beliefs and territory.  But, in this year, a sector of the mapuche people began with a hunger strike for part of mapuche prisioners. This prisioners, with the help their families and communities, demand that they are not enforcing the antiterrorism law and not be prosecuted for military trial, only civil trial.  This demands showed a treat different this persons for be mapuche, that is why they call in popular protest march“political prisioners”.  The president, Sebastián Piñera, and his team of govern tried resolve the problem doing changes in the law, to make possible  “dialogue tables”  with sectors of mapuche people and change the punish or sentence of the prisioners demonstrator, but this not was enough because no every demonstrators down of strike.

              My opinion is that for solve problems with mapuche people the Chilean state mus admit the many debs to this community form more than a century, that began with the called "Pacification of Araucanía". I think that the solution is recognize to this people like part of our nation, only admit tha pluriculture of our territory and recognized the rights of each culture and people, the differences between communities can be handled better.
