Well transantiago…. It´s the only way I can travel from my home to the university and back home here in Santiago but it wasn´t always like that....
I´m not natural from Santiago so actually I haven´t got much idea about how transantiago has improved or make worse the public transport here, and of course I haven´t got any experiences to compare.
In Osorno is completely different, transantiago doesn´t exist and all the problems from it are like nightmares from other person. Of course we haven´t got any “Bip” or things like that and the students still have got the problem from “el pase” with the bus drivers. The good thing is that Osorno is a small city and you can walk from one way to the other in less than an hour, for example it took me only 5 minutes to go from my school to downtown, ten minutes to go from my home to my school and 30 minutes to go from school to my grandma´s home. Actually I didn´t use to take the bus, because I preferred to walk from one point to the other. Other´s kind of public transport that u can take in Osorno are taxi and “colectivos”. The colectivos are taxis that have a fixe route and stop in any point of it. When I didn´t walk I usually took a colectivo because it used to cost only 50 pesos more than the bus (I think that now days the difference is bigger), it was faster and comfortable.
I really wish Santiago were like Osorno in that way… I mean if I could walk within minutes from the university to home and then to downtown I would be really but really happy (Who wouldn´t be???)
But well it isn´t like that and Santiago has got other good things.

My second love...
Well here I´m again…. Really would like to go to home xD but well it´s English time ……..
One of the reasons because I enter this career was because I really like travelling and it aloud me to do it, it´s such an amazing thing, to met new people, new cultures and so on. Who doesn´t like traveling??? Well my plan is to visit the entire planet but obviously that´s a “little bit” impossible, so on the next years I´m planning to travel to New Zealand (NZ) (hopefully the over coming summer or something like that) because my father´s family lives there, and it´s such a nice country. The cities aren´t that big and the people are very nice. You can see trees everywhere, and they´re lots and lots of parks. Actually they say that you can cross Auckland without leaving the parks. Well Auckland is NZ biggest city and there live my family. Once I thought on going to live and study there… but when I decided to study archeology I thought it again and left that plan for the future, because the archeology career is much better here then in NZ. Until now I´m really happy to have staid here… had a great time. Anyway NZ is the best, you don´t see poor people or things like that.
I´m really in love with the country.. IT¨S THE BEST!!!!

First Semester
Wow what a great and big experience last semester was. The first big new was that I had been accepted in the university on the career that I wanted, so it was a great beginning and I was really happy, but with the time I also start getting nervous. Different questions started coming to me, like how would my new classmates be, Would I really like the career?.... On the other hand I also was nervous because I was going to leave my family, my city, my friends, well my home to go to study to another city, a huge one. But I had luck because I was going to live with my boyfriend and his family. So I wasn´t going to be alone, and I would have a new home to go.
Finally arrived march, the university started and I met lots and lots of new people. I really liked the career and my classmates and was impressed because of the change between school and university. At university we have to read really to much, and at school we had to read only one book per month.
Other changes were that, in Santiago I have to travel by bus, then subway, and then bus again, to reach the university, and when I lived in Osorno my mum took me and my sisters and brothers to school. So it was a really big change. Santiago is noisier and warmer then Osorno, and there aren’t any trees or grass. So sometimes I feel the need to feel and to see grass and trees, this feeling is very strange and funny.
Trough the semester I learned different things, for example: The reciprocity isn´t equal in the marriages or anyway. That means that it doesn´t matter who you´re daiting you won´t have the same rights and duties then the other person.
I also learned how to live with my boyfriend without killing us, how to share our things and our time. At first it was difficult, had lots of fights but after some time we stopped fighting that much xD.
So now we´re starting the second semester of university and I already got use to everything, I´m very happy with new friends…and waiting 4 my b-day… coming up this Friday (Arenita???)
