Pets: Unconditional Love




I really love pets. But I must say that it is hard to have a good care of them. It demands time and dedication to give them your love. They are animals, and like us, I think they feel the love that we gave them when they see that you care about them.


Have you ever put yourself in the place of your pet? It is hard, but if you think of it, we just treat our pets like any other human been. It is frequently seen that people give fried meat, bread or salads, and in extremely cases, chocolates or candies, to their dogs. Because we eat them, it doesn´t means that a dog or any other pet eat the same thing.
 
I have a dog. My father gave it to my mother when my grand mom, her mother, died. It´s name is Gea, like the Greek goddess of Earth. We loved it from the very beginning! It is very smart and I try always to communicate with my dog howling gently, and my dog begins to howl with me.




It is still alive, but it is old. I don´t want to think about the day when she will leave us. I just know that she is part of our family and of our hearts.

Your best holidays ever!

I really never went to trip to Europe or north America or even cities of my own country. In my holidays I enjoy to rest and spent time with my family. But I can imagine how would be a travel to another countries or cities. I don’t know if I will visit the typical tourist places like big monuments, or buildings. I’m interested in the history of these places. I think that’s talk us about the idiosyncrasy of the people that live there.


Here, in Santiago, there are many interesting places that tell us histories about the efforts to build the city, or the Inca’s influence that made the Spanish conquerors choose to place Santiago city here. You can visits places like Plaza de Armas (Weapons Square: the place where the army presents if they have to defend the city in the colony times)





Maybe the first thing that I would do if I arrive in a different city is learn about it history, visit the places that made history. Then I would like to observe the people, what clothes they uses, what they like to do, etc... Their customs.




It was this way how I begin to learn about the history of Chile when I arrive from Brazil, and I still like to visit this historical places.

A Country I Would Like to Travel



There are many histories that I read or I Heard when I was just a child about composers, ancient scientists or great humanists, that simple have changed the world to our days.
And I always thought that the places and the contexts where and when they lived give them some inspirations for their works. For example, Bach and Beethoven in Germany, Mozart in Viena, Vivaldi in Venice, Haendel in England, DaVinci in Italy, Aristotle in Greece, etc…




I think there is not just one country that I want to travel to learn about history and about many different cultures. Today we live in a kind of global society where the discoveries and art work are shared around the world. So, our knowledge not came just from Europe. It is also a mix with ancient knowledge from China, India, Arab world and Africa. If you just can look today, for example, about the African influences in Latin American dances, or Arabic influences in our language, or about the cultural differences between the good or evil, heritage from ancient Persian Zoroastrian religion, you can see that we constitute an amalgam of millennial cultures that are still live in the world.
