Santiago Stories

I have thousands of subway and bus stories, but I can not remember all the good ones at this moment. So I am going to talk about one that I experienced with my closest friends. It happened in 2015; we were in our second year at this University and we wondered how the parties were in other Universities around, so we decided to go to Universidad de Santiago (Usach), which is known for making the best parties. Despite having some troubles to get in, we had a good time. The party ended when the police arrived because everything was out control; they even used tear gas to disperse the crowd. So we ran our way out and took a bus straight to the Mc'Donalds store located in Alameda, close to FAU. We were hungry, and while we were eating we started talking about how good the party was, nobody truly wanted to go home! So one of my friends offered her house for us to keep partying at her place. We could have continued the party there, but going to her place meant taking the «mythical» 210 bus, what a mistake! I do not know what we were thinking! It was around 12.30 AM and we were in one of the Santiago's most dangerous buses. The minute we took it I noticed that something uneasy was going on. There were two men and they were drunk; they started to yell at one another and suddenly we saw them involved in a dirty fight. It was shocking for me, but strangely the people around me were not afraid. The crowd began to reunite around this two men and started to encourage them, it was like the Fight Club movie. This creepy show lasted like 20 minutes; the people seemed to be happy watching the fight, but at the end the two enraged men decided to stop, and gave themselves a hug afterwards. They were wasted and probably did not even remember the reason why they started to fight, so they got out of the bus and that was it. I was so scared at that moment, but my friends were very supportive and protective that kept me hugged all the time. 15 minutes later we arrived to my friend's house, hopefully we were more relaxed. I will never take that bus again, not at night time at least.

My Future Job

Imagen
I always liked to work. I got my first job when I was 15, and given the fact that I am still a student, I can only apply for jobs during summertimes. The ones I like most are office jobs; I like the idea of having a cup of coffee every morning as I organize plenty of paperwork, and if I can do that listening to music simultaneously and having lots of tiny «post it» stickers on my desk, it is even better (I love the «post it» stickers!). I honestly feel lucky to be studying Architecture because someday it could give me a good opportunity to have a decent office job. I hope a big company hire me full time once I am done with college. It can be either that, or start my own business, who knows, a degree gives you automatically plenty of possibilities. Start my own thing is something that I have been thinking a lot in the past few months; a close friend who is studying Engineering told me about starting an association once we finish our studies. I think that is a great idea, and I am su...

Wanting to visit Iceland

Imagen
Someday, if I have the chance, I would like to visit Iceland. I knew about the country when I was 17, through an interview I read about Sigur Rós, one of my favorite bands from Iceland along with Björk. After that, I started to read more about the culture of Iceland and also delight myself with pictures of the beautiful landscapes people can watch there, which as I have heard are influenced by the Scandinavian heritage. I know they have lots of legends and an interesting folklore, that is what I like the most. I would like to visit the Vatnajökull glacier, the biggest one in the country, besides their lakes, caves and mountains. I think it is a perfect country to connect with nature, it would be cool to learn more about the local flora and wildlife there. I heard locals are very friendly and respectful with tourists, which motivates me to visit the country even more. Iceland is knowing for being one of the countries with lowest rates of violence and crime, which I think is a impo...
