Hola

Well, last year was the first time I had the opportunity to vote and I did not, this year I don't know if I will.  I really believe that making the decision to vote or not, is not related to my degree of responsibility or commitment to society.  I think perhaps I have lost the faith that the real solutions can be found through democracy, or more specifically elections. About electoral campaigns I can say that they are the worst part of the election period, all these old characters that year after year seem to repeat the same phrases that fall into populism, fashions and temporary solutions.  It seems to be the advertising of a supermarket product, increasingly elaborate, with cliché phrases and accompanied by music of hope, in the purest style of Walmart.  I hate when they fill my neighborhood with their flyers, especially in my hometown where the candidates have had all problems due to misuse of money from the municipality in previous periods, so, i guess there is not much to

Well, as soon as I heard the phrase "favorite concert" only one image could come to my memory, SOUNDGARDEN. I can say that last Sunday of March of 2014 was more than the best concert of my life, It became one of the best moments of my whole life. It was so special to be there because It was Lollapalooza festival which took place at Parque O’higgins, I was accompanied by my youngest aunt, who also gave me the ticket to assit there as a birthday gift. Most of my favorite music had become what It is thanks to her, because since I was a little girl she has showed me all her favourite music and basically that became the most strong link between us, our same music taste. That’s why It was so important for us to be there together, hearing one of our favourite bands of our adolescence and also the sad songs that make us shed more than one tear, thinking about how bad was the world being with us on that moment (don’t laugh at me, we all have our ridiculously emotive phase in life

If you are looking for fun, party and meeting very enthusiastic people, Brazil is the best choice. Three years ago was my first time there and obviously I want to go back again. In that visit I learned many things about this country, like their music, their carnivals and their typically food, (It is not necessary to explain this because probably most of you know it) but I think I would like to go again in order to know other things more important than just tourist information.  This time I would like to go there to study something related to the Anthropology, and also a little of Brazilian history, but I don't really mind being there just studying, because in my case I prefer to do many different activities (like looking for a good job, of course) in which I can learn not only one thing. But first of all, my very big wish is to learn how to speak Portuguese, the most beautiful language in my opinion.  

Hi everyone, because this is the first time I write on a blog, I think it's time to talk about some facts about me. Well, first of all my real name is Maitte Valdivia (yes, I'm not really imaginative at creating blog names) but everybody calls me Negra (in fact. most people really don't know my real name). I'm 20 years old and I come from Copiapó, a city which many people don't know or confuse with Curicó. That's really sad, because in our city we have many beautiful places and landscapes, but all the people say it is awfully dry and arid, but people.. you're half wrong haha. Now I'm studying Physical Antropology, this is my third year studying and living here in Santiago and it has been a very entertaining experience in which I've met so many people and learned a lot of new things. I hope to keep on writing more things about me and my small-town girl stories later, bye!
