Iceland: Country of Ice and Fire

In spite of considering myself a warm person, the country I would like to visit is Iceland. The Nordic  island country that has more ice than people.

I always have been curious about this country because a lot of people think that this is the 'best country of the world' and I have researched a lot of things about it so I decided that I would love to visit this country. I'm not an expert about it but I know that their education system is very different that ours.When they are kids, they are not forced to study the same subjects or being under pressure because of the tests or homeworks. Actually they don't have to stay sitting at a desk, they have to discover things themselfs and they learn about how to interact with other people, a lot of this activities are outdoors and I think it's a very healthy way to learn in your first years of education because I remember having a lot of anxiety when I was a kid.

I would like to visit all the volcanoes that Iceland has, I know that it sound scary but they are really beautiful. I would also like to try Iceland food because they have different kinds of meat like Hákarl (a weird way to eat shark) and they are ice-cream fans. I love cold weather so that wouldn't be a problem to me, the real problem is that there are not any Mcdonalds.

I would like to have studied in Iceland when I was a child and I would like to work in Iceland in the future because they have equal pay and they don't discriminate about your ethnicity, nationality or sexual orientation. The police have no guns and there is almost no crime. In this moment of my life I wouldn't like to live in Iceland but when I become an old man I would like to have a relaxed life and this country is very quiet. Also they have one of the best life expectancies of the world.
But first of all, I have to learn icelandic.

My Blogging Experience

Hello, this is the last blog and I'm going to write about the whole experience.

At the begining I wasn't sure about the idea of the blog because I haven't done a thing like this in my life. I'm talking about the things that I like and writing my opinions about them, so this was a new experience for me and it wasn't as bad as I used to think.

The blog experience is very entertaining because it is very personal, every person has different ideas about the world and reading all these ideas is very interesting. I used to think that my writting skills were very bad but now I realized that the secret of writing is practice. We -as a class- were writting every week about our lives and important things related to our career called Dentistry. So I think that now I can summarize information and pick the right ideas, because sometimes you have a lot of ideas but when you're writing a blog you have to choose the important ones.

I would like to include topics that are importants in our society, like political subjects, religion, trans people and their rights, abortion, and other things that could be a little sensitive but we haven't got a lot of opportunities to talk about, so it would be a good chance to do it.

Personally I would like to write I little bit more about music because it is interesting and I think that there is a lot of variety of preferences in this group, also when you're in the process of knowing people you can always ask about their favourite music, this kind of thing can tell you a lot about people.

A TV Series I’ve Enjoyed Watching

Hi again, today i'm going to talk abot a TV series I've enjoyed watching:

Vis a Vis!

Vis a vis is a drama tv show from Spain released in 2015 that tells the story of Macarena Ferreiro, a naive woman that commited a crime because her boss told her to do it and she couldn't say 'no' to him because was in love, so she stole a lot of money for his boss (and lover at the same time) causing that she ended in jail.

She arrived to the jail called 'Cruz del Sur' and she receives a seven-year sentence and she can't go out unless her family paid a lot of money that they don't have. In the jail she knew a lot of danger prisoners but the cruelest is Zulema Zahir, a killer that is going to pass her whole life in prision so she doesn't care about anything. A girl in the prison died and everyone in the prison found a secret: she had a lot of  hidden money in a place near the prison. So, the father of Macarena and Zulema's boyfriend are runing after the money while the girls are fighting each other in the jail.

Macarena has to face many things like the fact that she is pregnant and her boss is the father of the baby, she is falling in love of a prison guard and a cellmate at the same time. And there is a doctor in the prison that harasses her in multiple times.
I love this show because you can see many things going on while you noticed an evolution of Macarena, she experiences many changes on his personality and that is something that I love about this show, that the characters aren't the same while the series proceed.

I highly recommend it, is very funny and interesting :).

A Subject I Enjoyed Studying this Semester

Hi again!

Today I'm going to tell you guys about a subject that I like, I choose English ( I'm not a bootlicker believe me). This class is about the English language in general terms, but associated with interesting topics or topics related with our carrer (Dentistry). There are levels of English classes based on a test that has an audio with questions about it.

I like this class because it is more chilled than the others, we have different forms of test, not just tests on paper, we have presentations, conversations, etc. Here we can talk about topics like discrimination, gender-problems, drugs. And we've talked about important people like Nelson Mandela and his story. 

Unlike the others subjects, this class doesn't make me feel anxious, it is more relaxed and interesting at the same time. My favourite activity was looking for places in London because I could find several places that I didn't know, and a lot of these are free :)

Learning English is very important, it is one of the most spoken languages in the world, it can help you get many oportunities like jobs or relationship with other people around the world. You can also find more information in English than Spanish and it could be very helpful.

An Expert in my Field: William Morton

A person that I admire a lot is William Morton.
William Thomas Morton was an American dentist who first publicly demonstrated the use of inhaled ether as a surgical anaesthetic in 1846. He was born in Charlton, Massachusetts, Morton was the son of a miner called James Morton and Rebecca Morton. He was a salesman in Boston for a couple years until he got into Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in 1840, he gained notoriety for developing a new process to make false teeth. But he left college to study with the dentist Horace Wells in Connecticut.

His pacients asked him to do a tooth extraction without getting any pain and he started to use nitrous oxide a lot, and then the use of anaesthesia became an obssesion in his life.
He started to do several experiments on animals and on himself. One day, a random guy had an emergency and he needed an extraction, so Morton used ether as a surgical anaesthetic and it was perfect because the pacient said that he didn't feel anything in the extraction.
The next day, this story was on the news and the Goverment gave Morton a ''national recompense'' of $100.000.

I like this guy because I feel that Surgery is related to agony for everyone, and William Morton created something that ended that stereotype and made the world of Medicine better. :)

A Photograph I like

I chose a picture that brings me a lot of memories because it was in the middle of a trip that we made as a class 2 years ago (when I was in the school). We traveled from Santiago to Bariloche, Argentina.

When we were in the south of Chile we spent 2 days in a hotel and we used to go to a lake just in front of the hotel.

In the first day the guide that was in the trip with us told me that we couldn't go to the lake because it was going to rain, but we actually didn't care so we took our swimming suits and ran to the lake and it was freezing and there was a lot of rain but we were having so much fun so it wasn't a big deal.

This photograph was taken by a friend that was too cold to swim with us and shows my group of friends having fun while a lot of cars honk at us and the people were very surprised because we were the only people in that lake on that moment. This happend in January 2017 on a trip that lasted at least 8 days and I like this picture because we had a lot of fun those days, I visited different places, I knew different people and had so much fun.

My Favourite Movie: Gone Girl

Hello Guys,

Today I'm going to write about my favourite movie called 'GONE GIRL'.

I watched this movie 3 years ago because I had a Blu-ray and my dad used to bring me a lot of movies because I really like movies, so I watched the movie alone and then I watched the movie with my entire family because I always do that, I like to pick a good movie and then I show them the movie.

Gone girl is like a psychological movie what tells the story about Nick and Amy's marriage, how they meet each other, how they fall in love and their beautiful story. One day Nick came home and he found everything broken, messy and Amy wasn't at home, she was disappeared. He calls the police and they did a researched and they found blood in the house and signs of violence. Then they start an investigation and the whole community and Amy's parents are looking for her, even this case is on the news because they are investigate a murder.

Meanwhile we can see flashbacks and discover that their marriage wasn't very happy and they were always in a fight. After a while the whole investigation revolves around Nick and everyone started to think that he was the one who killed Amy.

I'm not going to tell you guys how this movie ends because is very shocking and I hope that one of you will see this movie because is very good.
I like Gone Girl because it has the biggest plot twist that I ever seen on a movie. I also like this movie because I  think that it could be interesting for everyone, is not a movie just for girls or boys.
And the thing that I like to most about this movie is that if you watch it for the second time you are going to see things completely different because you will be aware of  the true intentions of the characters.
