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.

so does the gore tex

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.

Greetings.

I traveled in truck from Santiago to Antofagasta with my uncle and this was very very fun because I could see the big Atacama Desert without distraction. I remember we stopped a nigth in Chañaral to take a few beer, but no many.

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.
