TRANSANTIAGO >> BEFORE AND AFTER

Hi! It was a very long week, because I had a lot of things to do, but it is ending! And this makes me very happy.

Well, Today I wil talk about a way I use to get to the university: the bus.

I think Transantiago is a good transportation system, but still has much room for improvement.

The previous transport system was unsafe in the sense that the buses compete with each other to get there before, and often did’t stop at the bus stop if someone did stop. Moreover, he stopped to students and discriminated.

On the other hand, had more buses and in some ways were faster. Moreover, the tours were long and there was no need to transport combinations.

When Transantiago began, this system was very slow, both in the frequency of buses and the duration of runs. Personally affected me in the sense that before I took a bus and only Transantiago had to start taking 3 buses!

Now I consider that the system has improved, I have to walk less to take a bus, and the last tour I have to take me and leave the corner of my house! However, I believe that even this system can improve, increasing the frequency of runs and perhaps increase the routes to the city is even more interconnected.

A country I would like to visit



Hi! I'm finishing one week very stressful, but I`m happy because I did a lot of things very interesting.

Today I would like to talk about the country I would like to visit: Spain. I have always wanted to visit this country, because it has a lot of sights that I would like to know.

In Spain, I would like to visit the constructions of Gaudi, because I like so much his creations and they are so beautiful. I think his buildings are like taken from a story.

Specially, I would like to visit the Güell Palace and the park of the same name, because it has a sculptures and constructs inspired by nature, very colorful and showy.

I still haven’t known much the culture of Spain yet, but I I’m sure If I will travel, I could learn a lot of things.

I would like to live in Spain a few years, but near the Mediterranean sea. Also, I would like to do a master if it is posible and work there to pay my studies and learn about other realities.

I think it would be very good for me to live in that country, to grow as a person, know places and buildings and become independent.
