Santiago

Hi everyone

As you read in an older publications on this blog, I have lived my whole life in Santiago. And I wonder, Do we all live in the same Santiago?

Santiago is a very big city. it is considered a huge urban sprawl. I believe that its problem is not about its size, but its functioning. Unfortunately, this is a problem related to the country model that we have built along the history therefore for the people that live in santiago Santiago have daily problems, for people who do not live in Santiago have bigger problems such as lack of access and services that are only found in the capital.

For example, I live in Puente Alto, Puente Alto is in the periphery of Santiago. Living in the periphery means many problems related to the size and functioning of the city. In the first place, the concentration of urban facilities is totally centralized and causes that the bus trips are extensive, in addition, many people live in stgo. Around half of the country lives only in the metropolitan area, for this reason is that services frequently collapse.

if we continue with this thought about what a city means. I do not think that Santiago can be a Smart city in the future and comply exactly with the points made by experts. Maybe there will be bigger cities in the future and it will be considered a Smart Cities, and the reason for this is the will of the politicians and the collaboration of people. I think Santiago could improve functioning by investing in an efficient public transport system. There are subway and bus systems but they should work with better coordination. 

Other cities have trolley car and others systems, do you know some?                                                                              

Social Media

Today I am going to talk about the demon that dominates the world. The social networks hahaha

My favourite social media platform is whatsapp

You know why? 

It does not suggest you share the things you do not want with people, you only send messages and photos privately, that´s all.

I believe that instant messaging is enough to communicate with others, I do not feel comfortable sharing information that is not relevant when I communicate with my friends. My true friends know my tastes, know my parents, my brothers and my personal information. I think this information should only be exchanged in a personal way because when you share it on the internet, you can not delete it permanently. If you check my profile on Facebook you will find many publications that are false. My friends always joke with my personal account and it is for this reason that this platform has no importance in my personal life. I recommend that if you want to know something about me, you should talk to me personally, but through a computer it is really difficult.

I do not have anything against people who know themselves on the internet. In my case,  This is not an option because it is not comfortable for me

What social networks do you use?

the truth, I do not want social networks to disappear because I like to see memes

Hi, today i want to talk to you about the best concert i have been to. Iron Maiden concert on 10 April 2011. They are an english heavy metal band formed in 1975... they are very old but with a young spirit haha. they have six members, and three are guitarrists. Can you imagine the riffs? there is a lot of power in his music.




A long time ago, when i was 16 i wanted to see to my favourite heavy metal band so i went to the concert with two friends, Benjamin and Sebastian. The day was cloudy and the people waited for five or six hours. The concert staff reproduced popular rock songs by speakers while they prepared the stage and everyone sang.
The show began around 9:15 pm. It was amazing. they played my favourite songs and the light effects were cool.







Anecdote

The drummer threw his drumerstick at the public and i grabbed it but i lost it in the air, this was very frustatint, now i only have the ticket as a souvenir
