My childhood!!

In general, I can define my childhood like a nice time. Y had the lucky to live in a big house with a big garden. My garden had a lot of fruit trees, plants and flowers. That was my little Garden of Eden!! When I was five years old, more or less, my mom worked, so, I was in the house with my grandmother and my uncle. My grandmother didn`t share time with me, because her big problem was the housework, so, the most of the time she was in the kitchen, in the garden sweeping…and in the afternoons she was in front of the TV. Very funny for a girl… XD!
However, my uncle was fantastic, he is the second man more important in my life (after of my brother! J). He was like a father and a big friend for me. He showed me a magic world, admiring the nature together.
I remember one time…it was winter…it was raining…and the day was so cold. I was into the house with my mom and with my grandmother, when my uncle called me, because “ he had something wonderful to show to the girl”. I followed him and we saw a rainbow, he laugh like a child…we were happy!!
Other times he read me some stories or we talked about thing invented by us. However, sometimes he was busy, so, he couldn`t play with me….in that occasions he said me “lapipalel” (pencil and paper) that means that he had to write (because he is poet)…so I had to find something funny alone. What I did? Y planted the weeds that my grandmother pull up, I looked the flowers, the little insects, and I imagined a magic world between the plants…jajaja!! My childhood was a fairies` story!! (just in that period…)

The power of Love!

Researchers at Stanford University did a studied the relation between love and drugs. They founded that the love has similar effects that drugs, for example, in the reduction of the pain. In the research, men and women saw the photograph of their loved person while they received a little painful stimulus. At the same time their brain was being analyzed with a scanner by a resonance magnetic. The result was that the feelings of love act as a painkiller, because the scanner shows that the zones of their brains that were activated during the experiment were the same that the zones activated by cocaine or morphine.
In the same way, these researchers investigated whether the simple distraction had the same effect. In this experiment, the result was similar than the previous, however, the zones activated in the brain was different. According with Jarred Younger, the brain pthways leading to pain relief were mostly cognitive. But the love, is much associated with reward centres.

Santiago

According to me, Santiago is ugly, because there are a lot of people, the streets are dirty, like the air and there isn’t something nice to do. Maybe I said this because y don’t know Santiago completely…it’s a possibility.
So, …A place in Santiago, very funny, that a foreigner tourist must visit is Fantasilandia!! In Fantasilandia is a diversion park where there are a lot of amusements, the idea is arrive early and to be all the day there, in that way, you can profit better the day!! Is the ideal place to forget the stress!
Other important place is the Cathedral of Santiago, this building is very old and for that reasons it has a lot of history. Is a beautiful construction as for out as for in of it. However, like is a religious place was created for the contemplation, not for take pictures!!!
If you are in Santiago of Chile, you must visit La Moneda…it there isn’t fantastic, but is the Palace of Government of this country…and that is important. If you go to know that, ask for September 11th, 1973.
Santiago has two hills, one called San Cristóbal and the other Santa Lucía. The first one is bigger than the second one, but each one has its charmed. In San Crstóbal there are two swimming tanks, there is a zoo… between other thing, but its principal characteristic is the statue of the Virgin in the summit of it. Santa Lucía is famous because a lot of people go there to be alone with their loved person!!
This is my recommendation!!

I must admit I don´t know nothing about the problem in this moment, that`s the reason I choose this topic, like a way to research about it.So, this problem born with the return of the democracy in Chile, where the mapuches take force and all together decide to fight for their rights, their autonomy and the recuperation of their grounds. For to reach their objectives, they have done many things, for example, they have taken other grounds; they have attacked with fire and arms. Other way have been the taken for thirty four mapuches, they preferred to do a hunger strike. The last month, the president Sebastian Piñera gave a conference in the United Nation where he spoke about the topic saying that the big solution is the Araucania Plan and the “negotiating table”. However, according with the leaders of the mapuche`s movement “The Government don`t have nothing concrete”.Really I think that the Government don`t have intentions of admit the mapuche`s rights, simply they are waiting that mapuches lost forces, hopes and union. Respect of the “negotiating table” is just a big lie, because, according to me, the Government don`t reach a negotiation, but to convince to mapuches. Doesn´t the respect they must receive, because they are the original people of our country, of our earth, of our blood!!! The Government just try to repress it, like an annoying unconscious content, where the negation is necesary to continue living.
