TRANSANTIAGO

I like Transantiago very much. I think that in general it's very much better than the previous system. In first place buses are cleaner and safer than the "yellow micros". The pay system (BIP) is more confortable because I don't have to carry coins with me and it's better planned (I love to plan everything!). In second place, I like the idea of combining metro and buses; it's more dynamic. In other hand there are too many people packed inside the buses and I can't find seats to read in my trip. There has been changes in the Transantiago; at the beginning there fewer buses, and less information than now. But, nowaday I think that the system works very good.
I know that my positive opinion about Transantiago it's because I don't have to use it in the "peak hour" and I don't have to do long trips. I think that for other people it could have been worst than the previous system.
To improve the system I would change the number of buses between lines because there are some that have to many buses and others much less than what they should.

A country i would like to visit

There are many countries that i would like to visit, but i have special interest to know oriental europe since i was a little girl, specially Russia and Poland. All my paternal family comes of there and in my chilhood i listened to many histories of these countries, i remember a stories that my dad telling myself about my grandmother and her life in the field in Poland. For this reason i really would like to visit this country and overcoat the village of my grandma.
I'm very interested in knowing Poland because really i don't know much about this country, only what were telling me my dad and my grandma, though i know that it has a beautiful architecture and historical places that i love to visit. I believe that i would not like to live there, though i would visit and learn more about my family, and also try to find to part of my family that i know that still they live there, but i do not have contact with them. Finally i have some friends who live there and i would like to visit them too.

First Term: Good and bad points

This year has been very important in my life because many changes have happened. In the university i finished my penultimate semester with very good results, though it was a lot of work, specially in the final weeks because i was doing eight courses! I'm satisfied because i feel that i learned many interesting things, but in the other hand, i'm very anxious to finish the classes, to leave the university and to have time to do another types of things that now i cannot.
The most important change in my first term was that i changed from my mom's house in february, now i live with my best friend, Camila. I know her since i'm six years old, and our relation always has been very good, we have not had any problem to live together, really it has been very fun. I have learnt to live independently and to manage my money and my time, because i'm working in a jazz club two days in the week and also i'm working with my aunt for pay the rent every month, sometimes i was so tired!. Thankfully i have not had any seriously problem, the change has been very positive.
At conclusion this first term was very good, and though it was very exhausting, i'm happy to realize my projects.
