South Korea ~

Seul

The country that I would like to visit is South Korea because it has many historical places like temples, imperial castles and modern buildings that have adapted to the past. This country is known for spicy food like kimchi, their culture is very interesting especially when they show respect for the elderly.
Currently Korea has gained popularity for the song "Oppa Gangnan Style" by the PSY singer.

Besides visiting the capital (Seoul), I would go to Jeju Island, chosen one of the seven wonders of the world last year by popular vote by Internet. It has beautiful white sand beaches and fields of flowers with the most vibrant colors.

I dream of living in Korea because it is a very different country to Chile, but I see it very distant because the language is very difficult to learn. On the other hand live on  in Korea is very expensive, housing, food and needs basic, can mean a significant amount money.

Despite being an industrialized country there is a marked difference between men and women, this is the part that I not like about this country.

I liked and therefore recommend the Animals section of the website of National Geographic, because in a didactic (photos, videos, etc) can learn about different animals, their habits and habitats regardless of color, race or sex of the species existing around the world.

Oh Oh Oh....Simio Style!!

'Simio' that's his nickname, because when she could not speak toward the sound of a monkey while pointing with his finger the object she wanted

She is my little sister, her name is Sandra equal that my mom, the photo was taken in 2009 on some of my trips to Chillan to see her, I do not live with her, as my mother remarried and went to live to Chillan with the Sandrita father,  in the picture must have less than a year old, when she was photographed, she was sitting on top of a bunk bed with her pink dress and smelling of baby.
The photo is special to me because it reminds me every day that my role as older sister, four years ago be multiplied twice.

Now the baby of photography, me to reach me above the waist, she have long hair, more teeth, she talk without taking a moment to breathe and has the most fantastic stories I have ever heard.

Questions... Preguntonas ~

• What is your opinion about divination?

I do not believe in things like divination because I am of those people who live day to day. Besides is boring that someone else tell me through tarot, read tea leaves or other methods of divination how will my life in the future.

• What is your opinion about killing stray dogs?

I find it the most cowardly of acts,, the source of stray dogs is caused by the irresponsibility of the people who called themselves "owners",
The problem is that female dogs they reproduce and increases animal population, the most correct solution is that each municipality have kennels or sterilization campaigns.

• What is your opinion on climate change?

All the fault is the humans, for their ignorance and their desire wealth, for example the construction of large polluting industries that produce millions of dollars a year to the country, but they involve the destruction of habitats and environmental imbalance. Now nature invoice charges us, how say "you reap what you sow".

• What is your opinion on women in the military?

This shows that little by little this world male-dominated considers female power is a necessary good for protecting the country.

• What is your opinion about recycling?

Is a solution that would exchange the environmental state of the world, if only it were not a practice done by so few people.

Why do I want to be a vet?

I think from a very young my dream was to be a veterinarian when I was old enough to pursue a career in university, my family opposed and I finished entering forestry engineering. In that same period, I thought study agronomic engineering because it has a mention about animal.
I decided to be a vet last year, thanks to my work in 'Mundo Granja' I realized that animals were my true passion and I wanted devote my life to them if possible.
My experience in the university  has been nice, I have met wonderful people and I have done things I did not know I was capable of doing. I think that university is a necessary step to form us as human beings and help this world.
My expectations for a job future, it is an activity that to allows me to be satisfied with myself.

My love... Ipod ~

My favorite piece the tecnology is my Ipod, was a gift my mother about six years ago, color is black and silver, I have silicone protector to avoid scratching, is a series of old Apple (fourth generation or 4G). This years I had to pay for a battery change, the repair is very expensive for my.

Use is very easy (touch and bottons), because it is small can be carried anywhere in a bag or pocket of trousers. I occupy my iPod all the time because it makes me the shortest way from my house to the university besides other travel and activities.

I like because I can hear the music of my favorite artists whenever and wherever I want. Could not live without my iPod is like "El jamón de mi pan".

Queen

I listen many differents styles of music, in special pop and rock, my favorite band is Queen, is very old for my generation but I love. Music is very important for my live because I was distracts from reality . I do not play any instrument now, but played flute and the piano in the elementary school for music class.

The Queen is the England band born in 1971, the wonderfull vocalist is Freddie Mercury he is a very eccentric man, with the drummer Roger Taylor, the guitar Brian May and the bassist John Deacon. I like the band because the show is very colorful. The disc that took the band to success in the US and the world was 'A Night at the Opera' (1975).
