Transantiago: Before and After


In general, I think that Transantiago is a system that started with serious problems. For example: frecuency, time of travel, number of bus stop, comfort, etc. But i can say that it’s very better then in the beginning, however there are some imperfections, especially in the frecuency.
In comparation with the pre-Transantiago system i can say that the current system is better, but this wasn’t so in the beginning. Moreover the Estate improved in the infrastructure of the streets and stop bus. In the other system had a bad infrastructure, The new system is better because has fixed bus stop…so the problem with the old system was that the drivers stopped where they wanted, whereas now is obligation stop when the people touch the ring. Moreover, in all the bus stops there is signs that show what bus should stop there.
In general my experience with the new system has been good, better tan the pre-transantiago system. The time of travels are shorter, the bus are bigger, and the most importante: now isn’t necessary pay the money of passage to the driver. Before, the people should pay in cash, whereas there is BIP Card.
The changes that i would apply to the Transantiago system are all in the frecuency. That is the principal problema. The GPS did’nt work.
That’s all for today my friends. I will write more in the next sesión.
Bye bye

Peru: a great country


Hi everibody!

A country I would like to visit is Peru. This is a great country…but I never to visited it. In Peru there are a lot of beatiful places, that are characterized by be very important arqueological sites, cultural sites, for example. Moreover, Peru is very know in the world for it’s food.

One of the more important things of Peru is that in it’s current territory were the Inca Empire. This was the stage where the Inca civilization reached its highest level of organization and strengthened its position as the largest pre-hispanic state in South America. It covered the surrounding Andean territories in the north to the Maule River, for the South, now areas of southern Colombia, through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, to central Chile and northwest Argentina. Today, of all this, it conserved the city of El Cusco, in wich was developed the main activities of the Inca Empire. It’s architecture is very good conserved, and is one of the tutistics points more important of America now.

I would to do like in Peru a lot of things, and not only to visit El Cusco (specially Machu Pichu). Go every days to restaurant of typical food, etc.
Peru is a great country…visit it!!

That is all today.

Bye bye

Post Nº 1: First Term: Good and Bad Points


Hi everybody!

Today I going to speak of the good and bad points of First Term.

In general, the first term wasn’t a good term. With regard to my life in the University was good, but my personal life had a lot of bad things, but i don´t want to write on this. I’d like to write about of my life in the university….and in the love... In the university i take up six courses: Economic Anthropology, Quantitatives Methods, Urban Anthropology, Easter Island Culture, Teory of Systems, and Culture in Chile. My favourite subject was Quantitatives Methods. This is a excelent course and one of the reasons i like is the teacher is very good. His name is Jaime Fierro. He teaches of a way clear and explanatory, in adition, he teaches all the matter that he is supposed to teach...not all teachers do that. Now i’m assistant of this course, because i got good results...

That is all today.

Bye bye
