Blog 1: A country I would like to visit



Hi everyone. I hope they are well. My name is Francisca Mieres and I am a fifth year student of sociology. Today I will write about Buenos Aires, (Argentina). I would like to know this city because it has a lot of cultural life: museums, theaters, bookstores (the Ateneo Grand Splendid, for example), coffee shops, and it is only two hours from chile, fabulous! I would like to visit all these places and taste Argentine gastronomy.



Buenos Aires is the capital and city most populous in Argentina. In addition,the architecture of Buenos Aires is fantastic, have multiple architectural trends and styles, from Neo-Gothic, Neoclassical, Eclectic to Art Deco and Art Nouveau. There is also modern and contemporary architecture.

I would like to live in Buenos Aires. According to a study, Argentina is the second city in Latin America with the best quality of life, after Montevideo. I would also like to study at UBA, a university that, in addition to being prestigious, is free.

Blog 5: My future job

Hi everybody :) Today Im going to talk about my future job. I am majoring in sociology and near to do my thesis. I would like my thesis to be about the housing deficit in some communes of Santiago. My interest in this area of study (urban sociology) and work comes from my personal experience as an urbanite. I have always lived in Santiago, first in San Bernardo, then in El Bosque, and now in San Miguel. Although these communes are different from each other, they are all peripheral to the center of santiago, although San Miguel is closer than the others. The way in which the prevailing centralism at a regional level is also expressed within cities and their communes has always caught my attention. In this sense, I consider that the planification of the city of Santiago is deliberately segregatory, discriminatory (for people with different abilities, for example), patriarchal, not environmentally sustainable, and inefficient in terms of transportation and connectivity. The conseque...

Blog 2: The best vacation ever

Imagen
In June of 2017 I visited San Pedro de Atacama (Antofagasta region) with Carolina (my sister) and Daniel (my brother in law). We spent two weeks touring different places. We rented a car because my sister was pregnant with my niece Emilia. San Pedro de Atacama is located 2.500 mts. above sea level, on the north side of Atacama Salt Flat, an area of great tourist and archaeological attractions. The town is set on one of the many oasis formed by the rains of the "Bolivian Winter" in Atacama Desert, the driest in the world. That's why you can see truly unique vegetation, like chañares, carob trees, and capsicum.  It is the best trip (so far), because I met part of north of Chile. Until then, the furthest northern place I knew of was Viña del Mar (haha). Also, we tried many delicious foods. We ate Ricarica ice cream, a very sweet antiplane medicinal herb. We visit Socaire, Peine, the Chaxa lagoon, the Valle de la Muerte, the Valle de la Luna, the Catarpe...

Born in March 17, 1988 and raised in Vancouver, Grimes began create music independently late in the first decade of the 2000s, releasing two albums: Geidi Primes and Halfaxa in 2010. Subsequently, she signed with 4AD and became famous with the release of her third studio album Visions (2012), which received the Juno Award for Electronic Album of the Year. Her fourth studio album Art Angels (2015) received critical praise and was named the best album of the year by several publications. Her fifth studio album, Miss Anthropocene, was released on February 21, 2020. About my favorite album, it is difficult to decide on one, each one has a particular visual and musical aesthetic that makes them amazingly in credi bl e. For example, Geidi Primes is a concept album inspired by the science fiction sag...
