favorites books

About books I do not know much. Most of the books I've read were part of my high school's curriculum. Of all the books I had to read, I only loved two of them. Coincidentally, the two are by Chilean authors, the first was "Tengo miedo torero" by Pero Lemebel and the other "La contadora de películas" by Hernán Rivera.
I had both books, but one I lent and they never gave it back to me. The other I gave to a friend. Their stories tell facts based on the history of Chile. "Tengo miedo torero" tells the story of a poor transvestite man who was involved in an attack against the dictator Pinochet. I do not remember the story very well because I read it a long time ago, but I would read it again because I loved the storyline.

On the other hand, "La contadora de películas" tells the story of a girl who had a great talent for telling the movies to those who could not go to the cinema to see them in the nitrates of northern Chile. Both stories are very moving and I recommend reading them.

Post 1: A country I like to visit

I would like to visit México, for different reasons. It is located in the North of America. One of these reasons is the history and monuments of  Mayan, Aztecan culture. I would like to have a tour in its "lost cities " and stay near its temples that I think are one the most beautiful construccions in the world. I like the beaches of the Pacific Coast, specifically the Riviera Maya. I really like the idea of swimming and practice diving .  In the south of this country pueblos indigenas live, they keep their traditional life, like before  the Spanish arrived to the continent. They keep alive their prehispanic culture! And I want to know them in person.  On the other hand, México is the land of famous singers, like Juan Gabriel, Vicente Fernandez or Antonio Aguilar. Also there was born the mariachis culture, that spread across highly in Chile, through the movies like "La ley del monte" of Vicente Fernandez.  In the near future I would like to study in one of

Hello, when I was finishing high school in 2015, I did not know very well what to choose as a profession and career for my future work. I was very confused, I liked different subjects that in fact, did not have much relationship. I enjoyed biology and history, they were my favorite subjects.  In that time, also I not prepared for the PSU test, I thought wait a year to study and clear my mind. However, I looked for careers that would interest me in the web site of public universities and the requirements to enter the "PDI" and be a detective. After the publication of results of the PSU test, I got the score for this career that was within my options and I was selected fot the free scholarship, consequently, I decided to give it an opportunity because of its interdisciplinary nature and great job opportunities.  <<I'm still not very sure of my decision, but I've known good people and great women on the road>>.
