My experience of the blog ...

The truth is I've never had a blog .... I think because it was not necessary ... but I liked this method of teaching .. is more dynamic and has the same structure as a class, but much more liberal.

In addition, it is known to people and their way of thinking, your likes and that sort of thing and being a big year this was much more entertaining .... Hopefully all courses were like this, with this type of approach.

I think my English improved a bit ... not as yet ... jajja, I'll know this morning in the trial, but now I find it easier to write and give coherence to the texts in English. Write a lot in my career, so it was sometimes tedious and boring to write something else and in another language .... but the topics were interesting and it made him relax.

Now it becomes more easy to understand English texts I have to read for some classes, though much more technical than blog posts and sometimes their terms are complicated to understand.

Many of the comments that were made in the blog were funny ... ajjaja. The publications also were, and the topics were interesting.You learned new things and that was one of the strengths of this activity. In addition, the teacher was sympathetic and toward more dynamic and interactive class blog.

One of the disadvantages that had the activity was the short time we had to make entries ... it may be easy but for me it was some time, of course most of the time met the established time.

Now I must confess my secret in English .... I HATE THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE .... tenemosque why we learn English? ... because they do not learn Spanish?. In my opinion, our language is much richer than the English ... I do not understand, but hey, this does not depend on the course or from us ...

I hope that my commentary is informative and I hope we meet in the next level.

Greetings fellow ... was a pleasure to know or at least share a class with people of other carrer ...

See you later

My ideal holidays!

I accused my ideal vacation would be in some country of Asia, would be amazing to visit Nepal or Tibet too. Of course, these are my favorite country in an ideal holiday destination for having the highest peaks on the planet ... I can not imagine a country without mountains .... jajja
The entire area of the Himalayas I would visit the region of the Karakorum. This is a mountain range where there is one of the most attractive of all the Himalayas. This area called Dhamar River Valley, at the foot of Nanga Parbat. On the other hand, the glaciers near the K2 would be very interesting to visit.Another attraction that I would like to visit are the highland plains of Nepal, but their capital is also interesting for all content that has historical and spiritual in its streets. Well, the truth is that interested in culture and religion of the area so anywhere in these countries would be great to see.I do not know who I gustría go ... I do whenever I travel alone, I am finding it hard to imagine a trip with someone ... but I think it would be an interesting experience to have a travel companion.These are my observations ideal for all the cultural richness of this region of the planet ... Tourism without culture is not a interesting tourism.
Greetings my friends

Well... this photo was taken by a friend, Cristofer in the Plomo mountain or the Apú of Santiago valley. In that moment I felt vey very sick, because I was to 5.300 or 5400 meters of altitude and the sensation that this altitud is unbearable, headache, vomiting and exhaustion. Besides, apart from the effects of altitude, I had walked for several days with a lot of weight.

This photo show the Iver glacier and the Adoratorio Inca" where they found El Niño del Plomo", but this does not distinguish in the picture. The cross in this glacier is very dangerous, because the fall is very long, 1000 meters approximately and the ice of this glacier is crystal ice so it is very slippery.The cold  was not much, only -10 degrees, but the wind was very strong.

Tha expedition to the Plomo was  29, 30, 31, October and 1, November, 2010 and this picture was taken in the summit day (1, November). I think that was 7:15 a.m. when this photo was take. 

I love this photo because  represent my passion and really, the expedition to the Plomo was amazing.

Neverthless I  could not pass on to the top ... I felt really bad and get off before I  sick of cerebral edema but reaches about 50 meters from the summit.

Bye friends.... see you

Many different, but all the same...

Well, here in the fauna, we can distinguish people by their skin color, hair color as dress. But more amazing is that students of different races are fifferences each other with just see how they dress and the type of clothes they wear.
For example, people always have T-shirts Design and articles in bright colors and flashy, with accessories that only they can use. I think a Geography student would not use something as colorful as what people use design.
Furthermore, architecture students are a little more modest when it comes to dress, do not use the bright colors and unusual accessories and design people, but differential waste the rest by a kind of stereotype of people studying architecture .. . Well, that's what geographers say ... Maybe they look more like students of geography in their dress than to design students.
Finally, are we, students of Geography. The truth is that there is everything in this car, but what stands out for the other stereotypes of people are those who have a tendency to hippies. Do not care much about how they look, especially men. We are unconcerned with how we look, what is good. At least I think so.
That's all I can say about the stereotypes of my faculty...

Bye my friends...

My Favourite Technology.

Mmmm, the true is I'm not technology lover, but I think it is importan everyday life.

Well, my favourite techonology is of the mountain articles equipment, because for this, the human race has been to explore the most difficult summit and region of the planet.

For example, the GORE Company was development a many years ago a membrane breathable-waterproof in Europe. This membrane (called GORE-TEX) have the capacity to keep dry the skin and evacuate perspiration. These qualities of the membrane to give comfort and security to people.

Moreover, another mountaineering technology is employed in the thermal insulation. The thermal insulation is providad for the goose and synthetic compounds. This raw materials to make heat in extreme conditions (cold and wind) consequently, are the best material in condition of extreme cold (-90º).

Furthemore, the silver fiber is an excelent to evacuate perspiration, also, it the most fiver to eliminate odors.

Finally, the most common of the technologys  in mountaineering is the polar. This a fiver which provides heat and is very very comfortable. Used in a lot of emvironments and is very cheap and common.

Well, this is my favourite technology and  that I occupy for my hobbies.

Seven Years in Tibet ... The real essence of Buddhism.

The film's story takes place during the Second World War in the Himalayas and is based on a true story. 
Her main characters are Heinrich Harrer and Peter Aufschnaiter two Austrians and the Dalai Lama, who in the film is still a child.It all starts when Heinrich Harrer and Austrian mountaineers Peter Aufschnaiter go on an expedition to try to climb the mountain Nanga Parbat in Pakistan.  
While attempting the climb, begins Mundia War and both are taken prisoner by the British.Months later, climbers escape from the prison camp and fled to Tibet, where they are presented to the Dalai Lama, who was then a child. His stay in Lhasa, capital of Tibet extends for many years due to the blockade of the borders because of the war. During this time, Harrer and Aufschnaiter take the form of life of Tibetans and people adopted cosmology. 
 Whereas Aufschnaiter married a Tibetan woman, Harrer creates a strong friendship with the Dalai Lama. Seven years after arriving in Tibet, Harrer returned to Austria in the middle of the Chinese invasion of Tibet, while the Dalai Lama took refuge in India. 
The friendship between Holiness (Dalai Lama) and Harret was preserved over the years. Moreover, Peter Harrer died in 2006.
 
It really is an amazing movie. I recommend it.

Well, I traveled in bus from Antofagasta to Arica. When I arrived to Arica I had a lot of doubts because I was alone and in Peru was domestics problems(strikes, road cut, etc.). However I decided to cross the border and travel to Machu Pichu.

Firstly I arrived to Tacna and inmediately I took a bus to Arequipa. In this city I met with a friend(Altazor)... but I'd rather not talk about it.. hahaha.. ti's crazy...After this trip to travel to Cuzco.... In this city I to meet a lot of chilean people... and went to many parties.... Ufff... This was very entertaining.

A few days later I went to Machu Pichu... and for this many hours walking througt for the jungle... Machu Pichu is awesome..!!!!

Finally  I Arrived to Titi Caca Lake in Bolivia  and, day later I was in La Paz.....

return to Santiago with many experiences and stories to tell ...

Rumbo al Blog...

I have fallen in the world of Blog ...
Well, I'm Camilo Muñoz, a student of the career of geography at the University of Chile, and companion of people who are in the English III course.I'm in my last semester of college course, but it will be one more. Only these things happen ...My interest in geography is oriented toward the physical, but especially in glaciology and behaviors of geographic features in the mountains. This last matter is what led me to practice a bit of climbing in recent years.
Now, the next weekend I have an expedition to a mountain called Cerro Vega of 3995 m, in the area of Lo Valdes, near Baños Morales in Cajon del Maipo. This situation has me very excited because I really like the landscape of the area where they will climb the mountain.

I hope you like my story and see you in class ...
