MEXICO: A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT.

L4 / POST 1 /WEEK 3:
A COUNTRY I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT.


Sinse I was a little kid I have always wanted to know Mexico. In a first case it was because my Father  listens to Mexican music sinse I have memory, and in those years, for a little child like me the lyrics of the songs were very interesting, and nowadays  I still found that music full of passion and very good. Songwriters  like José Alfredo Jiménez, Paquita La del Barrio or Pedro Infante show me a dramatic and intense face of Mexican culture.

In other way, I have studied the History of the country and I found it very interesting, in a firts place all the  pre columbian civilizations, the pyramids and the ruins you can visit.  I love the tales of the revolutión, Francisco Villa and Emiliano Zapata are great historical characters ( and again,  the music that tells the tales is awesome), and finally I would like to be close to Chiapas and the Zapatistas, I admire th Sub Comandante Marcos, I have read a few books written by him and the topics he talks and thinks about are great.

Finally, my last reason to dream about visiting mexico is the literature. In higschool I star reading Juan Rulfo,  Roberto Bolaño, Elena Poniatowska and others, so it was like my last crush to the heart about Mexico. I Would Like to do a  postgraduate curse or something to live there at leats 6 months so i could visit and know  all  the things I have mentioned.

 I like the idea because is not so hard to realice and the hope to know the country  still alive in my head.

  1. I find very interesting Mexico, there's a lot of history like the ruins, culture pre columbian among others, but it would give me a little bit of fear go to Mexico for drug trafficking and kidnapping. I hope you can go to Mexico and remember your childhood.

SUMMER HOLIDAYS I love to make plans for the summer, I used to save money during the year and travel somewhere like the south or the beach, with my family we used to go to el kisko all the summers so since I was a child I get used to take a week or two out of santiago whatever it takes. The summer I went out of highschool I make autostop with a friend until we get to Chiloé, the summer of the 2016, autostoping to, y travel until Uruguay. Autostop is a great option if you wanna know the places in weird ways or to know the b side of countries. This summer I was thinking to do it but to the north, even  maybe cross to Perú but I'm not that sure, because I went out of class at the ending of january and I'm not sure if I wanna spend my savings in a travel, because maybe is better for me to buy cinema equipment and have a working tool for the future. Any way, if I don't travel to the north, probably I will spend a week or two in the “Litoral Central”, which is one o...
I don't really know why do I finish studing Cinema and Tv. When I was a little kid I wanted to be an archaeologist because I saw Indiana Jones and it made me want to be in that kind of places and live that kind of adventures. Then a I grew up and wanted to be a social Anthropologist ( I didn't know myself anyway, I really was an indecisive boy who convinced himself what wanted to do one thing or another without be sure about it ), but when I finally took the PSU I didn't make it,  my score was not enough, so I entered to Sociology in facso, but,I quit in the first semester. After my first and failed  university experience, I started  working in different stuff, I worked in a few filmings and in advertising and I realised I wanted to do cinema, because it was kind of funny  and from another perspective I  love chilean documentaries and all those things together were like, all rigth, I will study cinema.  So, I did enter to the icei to study cine...
