MY FAVORITE ANIMAL


It's really a difficult choice, because there are many animals that I like, including our faithful friends the dogs, cats because they are so loving, dolphins for its great intelligence and also the horses.
Of all these my favorite is the horse...horses are in my heart!!. I think they're very noble and always ready to help humans. They are so big that I feel too small for they, but even so, I find incredible that they have the intelligence to obey and of giving us so much. Some can be used for sports, these are the most beautiful breeds, and certainly expensive, but they can do wonders!. The jumps and stunts they do, impress me and drives me to want to know more about them.
They are big and strong, yet sensitive. I would love to work helping them, I think this is a very interesting area and a major challenge, since it is very complex and it takes great expertise in them.
The best of all, is that I not only could help them, also I help many children with physical or mental problems, because they can be rehabilitated using as a therapeutic mediator to this animal. In this way the horses have provided a complementary therapy to traditional medicine, improving different motor sequelae, psychological and social aspects of diverse etiology.
This therapy can be of two types:
Hippotherapy that is a therapy for patients with mainly motor disabilities. And the therapeutic riding, in which the horse and riding are used as an facilitator instrument in the psychoeducational and sociability fields.
These animals are really amazing and they are a great supplement for people. They helped us with its strength from ancient times, give us their friendship and they also have multiple benefits for healing. I love them!

*Look at this video, when the horse dances the song of Moulin Rouge! It's amazing!!

WHAT TO DO / WHERE TO GO IN SANTIAGO


There are many places that should a foreigner tourist visit in Santiago. To begin, I think it´s important to visit historical places such as the Palacio de la Moneda and the old part of Santiago, like the Plaza de Armas. Also museums even though appear to be very boring.
So, the five places that I recommend are:

Santa Lucia Hill. Located in the heart of the city, an interesting place to visit, as it was here that the Spanish encountered the natives when they came to this valley. At the top of the hill you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the city and admire the Andes, especially in winter, when snowfall.

The Chascona. A visit to the house where the renowned poet and writer Pablo Neruda, reveals the unique world where lived the remarkable Nobel Prize of Literature. Its name "The Chascona" was placed by an allusion to the hair of a Neruda's secret love. "Chascona" is used synonymously with the word "disheveled" in Chile. A very entertaining place.

Metropolitan Zoo. Located in the Metropolitan Park of Santiago. Ideal to watch and meet the endemic animals of Chile, since it has special section for these animals: black-necked swans, condors of the Andes, pudú and the Chilean flamingo are for example some of them. They are also the inevitable elephants, lions and monkeys that make it an educational and entertaining trip.

Barrio Bellavista. For tourists this is the right place to shop and have fun. There are lapislázuli jewelry, art galleries, museums, theaters and many restaurants. At night you can also visit many places to have fun dancing and listen live music.

Central Market. Located south of the Mapocho river,is a rather striking, which allows foreigners to know more about the culture of our country. There are restaurants specializing in seafood, famous for it rich flavor, and they say also, by other effects! ahaha!

DEATH PENALTY: a controversial topic


It´s so difficult speak about this topic, because is very controversial. I could say that in a justified case, I would see it as an option. But I truly believe that if someone should be punished, what better to do it here in life?. In the long term would be harder and really a good punishment.

Therefore I´m against the death penalty. I feel that this punishment is very severe. And it scares me a bit, because there are places where religion establishes penalties, like death penalty, to persons who don´t committed a felony. As is the case of Muslim women, that if they show any part of the body in public (they only can exhibit ankles in public), are condemned to die. OMG! I would be dead there!!!

I think it's an abuse of power and that in countries who is still in effect this punishment human rights are brutally violated. This should be better regulated by international organizations to prevent atrocities against innocent people.

The execution of persons has been employed by almost all societies at one time or another in their history to punish their crimes. Yet it seems strange that developed countries like Japan and the United States still maintain in effect the death penalty, because today the vast majority of countries in the world have abolished it.

But then it appear another problem, as in the case of our country... Now people commit serious crimes and the sentences for them are very low or these people still are free.

Where is the balance?
