11/9

I think is important to have an opinion because is something that, in spite of the 42 years that have pass, is until now a topic that for lots of people needs to be talked about.  My family wasn’t involved directly in the problem, with this I mean they didn’t have troubles, or missing friends at that time. My parents were very young at that time, but my grandmother and my grandfather remember lots of things. My grandmother (on my mom side) used to work at the Salvador’s hospital, and she told me she was there when was there when the body of Allende arrived. Nobody said anything and they weren’t allowed to ask questions, so that was what she did. Also Pinochet made nurses take the military service (that have benefits till now for her). However she is not happy with his dictatorship and thinks that he was a murder.

In my personal opinion I think that it doesn’t matter how many years ago it happened, till people who were responsible of all crimes that took place at the time speak, people will always be hurt. And it’s important, as a community to support them and their fights. I put myself in the case of having a missing relative and probably I would do the same things that they do. But I don’t think that violence is the answer to this, or a way to make “them” talk. Is more like a way to express the anger of people who the only thing that want is answers. 

fondas

Since always I had loved these parties, I think is because they are like little vacation in the middle of the year. When I was little I used to spend these days with my family at the beach, but now I prefer to stay in Santiago or go to the beach, but with my friends. Last year we went to Pichilemu (with my school friends) but this year we all did different things, because of the strike our holidays were altered.  This year I stayed in Santiago, and I went to different “fondas” that take place here. On Wednesday I was going to go to the fonda minera, but because of the earthquake I could (I’ve fear of them), so I stay in home. On Thursday I went to a disco with my friends who stayed here like me (who were just a few). On Friday I was going to a party in Bellavista but there was all full, so finally I didn’t. And finally on Saturday in the morning I went with my parents to the fondas in parque intercomunal La Reina and in the afternoon I went to Parque O’higgins to see Villa Cariño (a band).

I have to say that this was no my best 18, but at least I could spent time with friends that I can barely see during the year, because our schedule doesn’t match. And, as I stayed in Santiago I have time to be with my family, because they celebrated the 18^th at my house. 

A PLACE I'D LIKE TO VISIT

Travelling is one of the things I like to do the most. I tried to do it often, because somehow it helps me to relax. Now, there is no place I would like to visit desperately, because all my life I dreamed with going to Venezia and last month I went there with my family. In spite of this there are places in Chile that I don’t know, but I want to, like the Paine’s towers or Atacama’s salt flat. Chile have different places with different weathers, so you can go to the beach or to the dessert, and I think that is an important thing we should take advice of.  

I would like to, in the future, study in Spain, altought Chile will always be an option for me, because I love it. But in Madrid or Barcelona, my career is more important so there I can learn more things than here.
