Post 1: A country I wold like visit : Senegal

I would choose to visit Senegal and Burkina Faso, this is my dream because I love the African percussion, and this country are contains the roots of percussion.

In Burkina Faso, invented the Balafon, an instrument of wood and pumpkin (pumpkin was for the vibration of the hit) and I love the ceremonies of tribes that was include the native music, many dance and Percussion instrument.

I love the videos of these ceremonies, and I like interested in the social dynamics and the process of elaboration of this instrument and the typical piece of clothing in the ritual ceremonies.

And also I would choose to visit Senegal, because in this country make the djembe and the djun djun, (this percussion instrument elaborate with a thick trunk and leather)

I would investigate the motivation of the ceremonies, the reason of the people while make and plays the instruments.

I think this is fascinating ceremonies, and definitely like participate in the ritual.

                                       

Post 8 Evaluation of my Blogging Experience

Hello again!
On this occasion and in this final blog I want to make a general balance of my experience with this type of course activities.
I personally think that writing blogs for this course was a very productive and fun experience, because we had the opportunity to put our writing into practice much more often, besides it is quite entertaining to be able to have a relative freedom of writing and also to know and read the others' blogs.
For a future I would like to include blogs about other things, such as interests in music, for example.
I stay basically with this profitable experience, in which you can get to know people better while you practice your writing with the English language.

I take a good balance of the course, (the only thing I did not like was the schedule since it was too early in the morning hahahaha)
I would like very much that the next level of English incorporates similar activities since as a general balance I think they are very profitable, and also have a very good potential to practice their writing.
and with these words I want to end the blogs, thank you very much for reading!

post 7: the preferred course of the semester

Hello again! this time I come to tell about the subject that I enjoyed most this semester, this time I think it is a branch called "introduction to ethnography" since we had the opportunity to take a trip and investigate something of interest, plus of the experience of carrying out an ethnographic investigation knowing different perspectives and making both particular and general visions of a specific problem from the second year of the career. I was able to get to know the nightlife of Valparaíso, the one in which the subjects took my case, took the stairs of the place for the recreational consumption of alcohol and drugs ... and I, well, was obliged to participate in hahahaha ... I believe that of the year, this branch is not the best, since the first semester I had very good bouquets and that exceed it, but this semester, that I personally find it more relaxed, and somewhat slower ... I would say that I am left with this. this branch stood out before the rest for the experience of the ethnography in the field and for the knowledge that they gave as help for this work. Well, that's my experience with this bouquet, I hope it works! Until next time!

Post 6: Career related website

Hello again!
this time I come to talk about an internet link that has helped me many times, whether in tests, controls, and more.
I refer to the page "Summaries of Anthropography" which is a blog, yes, like this one, but that deals with the summary of the career.
The creators of this blog are students of the archeology branch of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), and it has helped me a lot because they have a very simple explanation that anyone can understand.
In addition they organize all their material in sections that go by units, and besides everything, they add their personal commentaries with relation to the matter for a more precise help.
I usually use this site when I have evaluations only hehehe, although it is one hundred percent recommended, it is still useful for me since it has even a section in which the abstracts are sorted by author, and makes the study much easier.
While it is only a blog, it is very useful, hopefully it will serve you !.
the link is http://resumenesantropologia.blogspot.cl/p/autores.html

My favorite photograph

My favorite photograph is in the Estadio Monumental at March 27/  2014 , in the Metallica concert.

That day, I got to the outskirts of the stadium at 4 am!

the photograph was taken by a security guard who was in the space separating the grid (First row) with the stage.

I remember that day that I spent the night at my grandfather's house, a place very close to the stadium so that, at dawn, I can get up and go to the access to "preferential court" with food for my long wait.

I remember when I opened the doors at 4 PM I threw most of my food to facilitate the speed of my access and I started to run and run...

Something past 9 PM starts the already classic song "ecstasy of gold" from the movie "the good, the bad and the ugly" and immediately put my hair on edge.

Singing with at my lungs and what is a kind of introductory ritual of all the Metallica´s concert that the band has used around the world for more than 30 years.

From the show, I remember the emotion, the bruises, the dehydration and the song "and justice for all" that later I tattooed

Post 4: Pets

I do not have an ideal type of pet; I already have several different animals.

For example, I have four dogs, I one cat, near to twenty chickens and two ducks. And although is strange, all animals in my house have names (even chickens!).

The importance of my pets is different for each of them, my dogs are important for the safety (sometimes, not always hahaha) and are important providing us with special joy.

My cat is important because of the tenderness it has (?).Also scares and takes mice out of the house. And hens and ducks lay eggs.

So far the only problems they give are the constant care they require, for example vaccines to dogs, if any animal, whether dog, cat, hen or duck presents complications is taken to the vet (yes, we take the hens to the vet) 

Post 3: my favorite piece of technology

                                      

My Favorite piece of the technology definitely all the headphones.

These are not artifacts that are particularly complex, in fact, they are quite simple, and their only function is to reproduce the music and sounds that are programmed in the mp3, pc or telephone.
 I have my headphones in my pocket all day. I use them frequently on trips, whether by bus, car or subway. I use my headphones very often, especially since I do not like listening to loudspeaker music out of respect for others. I especially use them  to listen to my favorite radio,  in which they almost always play Pearl Jam, hahaha!

My opinion about the headphones is that they are essential for travel, at least to distract you for a while.

I believe that life without these headphones  would mean that I stopped listening to my music frequently, which I see quite unlikely, since if I lose my headphones, I immediately buy others.

Just because I like to listen to music!
