Transantiago =__=

I’ve always studied far from my house, so I’ve always got to move through the entire city in order to arrive to school.

First we had the “yellow buses transport system”. Its main problem was the buses’ conditions: They often got stuck at the half of the road and then you had to wait for another bus which could arrive almost 30 minutes after. Besides, they used to smell like something was in flames.

Then the government decided to change this system for the current one: Transantiago. Everybody expected for a better public transport system and not to have to travel like cattle. At the beginning it seemed it was the same system that we had, the same uncomfortable way to travel big distances but now with larger buses so there could be even more people stuck at the same time. The same occurred at the subway in the morning and the afternoon. Everybody complained, but gradually we started to get used again to the lack of enough buses, to have to cross big distances in the same bus (the so called “buses troncales” or main buses) or even to have only one number of bus that takes you home.

I personally think that all the money the public transport system busyness men use to improve their own life style could be used to improve something that’s everyone’s property.

From Akiba with love

The subject of the current post is countries I’d like to visit (some day).
I don’t particularly like to move from my house, so just to think about move out from my country is something that really scares me. However, there are a few places I’d like to visit, just for trivial, very trivial reasons. One of these places is Japan.
Japan is often conceived as the number one factory of weird things around the world and certainly that’s right. Besides the Shinto temples, the wonderful Osaka zone, an interesting place to visit (for weird people like me) is the Akihabara zone. It is placed on the Chiyoda district, in the heart of Tokyo, and offers everything that a technology-lover would want.
Akihabara is often known for being the favorite place to stay for many kinds of internet freakies, which spend many money and time buying the last things in Hi-tech or gadget stuff (figures, video games, pc games, body-length pillows, several kinds of toys, dresses, suits, costumes and other things that are not so appropriated to discuss in a blog like this) And if I’m lucky I could see the main man of the Akihabara zone, the wannabe of many, many people, the great Danny Choo (also known how the luckiest guy on earth).

First term... weird term

It's quite difficult to start writing about a term that really disliked me.
Certainly I learned really relevant things at University, specially subjects related to the Marxist Anthropology and the Cultural Materialism. About this one, it is said that every cultural subject is determined by the energy exchange between the community and the environment, and every human group regules its relationship with the environment through symbolic ways (such as praise the cows, or take care of the pigs as much as of the rest of the group). However, I had the chance of meet new people, make new friends and talk to people that I would never talk to. That made my term quite relaxing.
I had no that much challenges the last term, I just had to learn how to explain better my ideas and make it through in my own terms, without any “extra-hints” or “extra help”.
About the extra-academic issues, I get my first portable videogame’s device, a Nintendo DS and I really love it. Currently I only can play one game (Pokemon, diamond edition), because of the prices of the games and the lack of a specific device, but even so I’m really happy with it.
